Speech, Language and Communication Needs (SLCN)
• Most children follow the expected pattern of development for their speech, language and communication at the expected times. Some, however, do not. These are described as having Speech, Language and Communication Needs - SLCN
Recognising children and young people who may have SLCN
• Recognising children and young people is based onHaving a good understanding of the ages and stages of
speech, language and communication developmentObserving and recording what a child can do, as well as the
things they may find difficultConsidering speech, language and communication if a child
or young person is having difficulties in ANOTHER area of their development or life
Getting the views of the child, young person and their parents
Using tools and resources to help you Sharing any concerns with others
Children and young learning more than one language
• Children and young people do not have SLCN simply because they are learning more than one language. Additional language learning is not an indicator for SLCN, nor are limited English skills, where the home language is developing as expected• However, some children who are learning more than one
language will have SLCN. This is because developing speech, language and communication
skills is difficult for them whatever the language and they would have difficulties whether they were learning 2 languages or one
It is really important to identify these children's needs, but it can be quite difficult
