Certificate in Understanding Speech, Language and Communication Needs

This course aims to help participants acquire theoretical knowledge on different aspects of speech, language and communication, including typical speech-language acquisition and development from birth to adulthood, as well as an overview of Speech, Language and Communication Disorders.

The course is designed to help participants gain a greater understanding of speech, language and communication disorders, as well as their impact on learners’ receptive and expressive language, social behaviours, as well as their learning experiences in a classroom. The course will introduce some practical classroom strategies which can be incorporated into classroom practice to support learners with speech, language and communication needs (SLCN).
