This practical guide equips teachers and other educators across the age phases with the knowledge, skills and confidence required to fully meet the speech, language and communication (SLC) needs of children and young people. As speech and language development delays increase among pupils, this book links theory to practical aspects of pedagogy, guiding readers to explore the range of factors influencing specific areas of SLC. It enhances understanding of accessibility and observed responses, and identifies reasonable adjustments that make a big difference in practice. Written by a multi-disciplinary team, it embraces sociological, educational, and medical perspectives, encouraging critical thinking and offering a range of case studies that illustrate key strategies and real-world applications, as well as signposting practical resources and sources of further support.

This book will certainly get you and your staff talking; it provides a truly accessible blend of theory and practice to enable practitioners to recognise that all-inclusive environments need a strong emphasis on speech, language and communication. It offers a timely contribution to the sector, recognising the need to focus on oracy and putting these skills firmly at the core of the curriculum.

I am thrilled to see time and space being given to a key area of development that is so often overlooked or simply taken for granted. My time with I CAN taught me just how vital a childs ability to communicate was to their future life chances, and my own research with schools proved the inextricable link between communication skills and a childs confidence, independence and general wellbeing. Understanding ways to support communication is vital for every educator- in all stages of education- every teacher should read this book.

'Developing Speech, Language and Communication Skills in Education: What Works and Why?' neatly interweaves research and practice. It explores a range of speech, language and communication factors from different author perspectives, reflecting on current Speech and Language Therapy from a fresh and forward-thinking perspective. I recommend this title to all SaLTs who work in education.
