Speech, Language and SEND Support Network
Hosted by the Pen Green Early Years Stronger Practice Hub
We’re excited to bring together practitioners through our Speech, Language and SEND Support Network, led by Karen Royle, Specialist Speech and Language Therapist.
This informal online network runs alongside our funded 1:1 speech and language consultations and is designed to support early years practitioners to develop their confidence in speech, language and communication, including supporting children with SEND.
What to expect
- Insightful discussion and expert guidance from Karen Royle, with over 25 years’ experience in early years and SEND
- Opportunities to share experiences, challenges and approaches with others across the sector
- Practical, evidence-informed strategies to support speech, language and communication within inclusive everyday practice
- A focus on identifying, understanding and responding to children’s emerging needs
Why this network matters
Speech, language and communication needs are a key area of SEND. This network provides a space to deepen understanding and strengthen inclusive practice, supporting better outcomes for all children.
Who should attend
Early years leaders, SENCOs, practitioners, and anyone supporting children’s communication development, including those working with children with SEND.
