Speech and Language Support

Supporting Speech, Language and Communication Needs

At The Oaks Infant School, we use an abundance of visuals to support children with speech, language and communication needs. Visuals provide a concrete, consistent and accessible way for children to understand and express themselves. It provides a method of communication which enables our children to feel included.

We also use visual aids to support structure and learning such as visual timetables, now/next boards, choice boards and writing frames.

With some children, we use Makaton sign language to support the spoken word.

Below are some images of examples used in school.
