Learning support at Regents
Speech and language therapy
Our UK-qualified speech and language therapists work with identified students on their communication skills. This includes students who have receptive language difficulties (difficulty with understanding what others are saying) and expressive language difficulties (difficulty expressing themselves clearly using spoken language).
Expressive language skills
- Developing the range of words a student can use and increasing length of utterance.
- Developing spoken grammar skills to an age-appropriate level.
Receptive language skills
- Develop students' understanding of the language used in the classroom and at home.
- Increase the difficulty and complexity of language a student can understand.
- Develop auditory memory and processing skills (the ability to listen to, interpret, and recall spoken information).
A speech and language therapist also helps students with:
- Social interaction (how we communicate) and social communication skills (why we communicate). This is often a difficulty for students with who have autism. .
- Students with attention and listening difficulties where these are a barrier to effective communication and learning.
- Dysfluent speech (also known as stammering or stuttering).
- Students with unclear speech.
- Phonological awareness skills (fundamental pre-literacy skills).
- Alternative and Augmentative Communication (AAC) e.g. Makaton, PECs (Picture Exchange Communication System).
