Speech, Language and Communication Needs and challenging behaviour

Tuesday 6th February 2024, 3:30-5pm via Microsoft Teams There is a well-researched and clearly demonstrated link between Speech, Language and Communication Needs (SLCN) and challenging behaviour. Research also shows us that care experienced children are much more likely than their peers to experience SLCN. We know that addressing SLCN, which are often hidden needs, can reduce challenging behaviour by meeting the underlying need. This session will introduce you to some of the reasons for the higher incidence of SLCN in children we care for in terms of how language and communication develop. We will present some resources we have developed with a range of services across the Local Authority to support schools in identifying and addressing these needs. 

This session is being delivered by Dr Hester Riviere
Senior Educational Psychologist, ATTACH Team
