Guidance for the Inclusion of Young People with Speech, Language and Communication Difficulties in Secondary School
Afasic Cymru is in the final stages of producing a Secondary School information pack. We have been supported by Afasic Scotland Director, Ann Auchterloine to produce this pack and thanks are also due to a small group of advisers, Jo Aldred, Karen Allen, Catrin Davies, Sheila Davies, Martine Dodd, Frances Elms, Bonnie Lane, Delyth Molyneaux, Gwenan Roberts, Steve Stockdale and Karen Visser for their comprehensive feedback of the pack. The pack will be piloted in selected schools in both North and South Wales and sent to every secondary school in Wales.
Wales Youth Information Pack
The pack consists of local contacts and useful information for teenagers. The booklet also contains a laminated credit card style identity card to give information about speech and language difficulties which a young person could produce if in difficulties.
Wales Primary School Information Pack
This pack should be used to raise awareness, and help to identify and support children who may have speech, language and communication difficulties.
The bilingual pack includes:
- A full set of Afasic Cymru Glossary Sheets
- 'How to identify and support children with speech and language difficulties'
- Early Years Poster
- Classroom awareness poster
- Lost for Words Introduction Leaflet
- Helpful hints for parents at Y6 Transition time (photocopiable)
Poster and leaflet
We have numerous bilingual posters which raise awareness of speech, language and communication difficulties. All of these posters can be displayed in schools, youth clubs, leisure facilities, doctors surgeries and health centres. The posters are A4 size and are available free of charges.
