Elklan are national leaders in training education practitioners, other professionals and parents, to help children and young people aged 0 to 16 years, develop the skills they need to succeed in life.
This highly successful externally accredited evidence-based course will equip you to develop the key communication skills of ALL children to ensure later success at school. It also provides essential strategies to support children learning an additional language. This is the only accredited training in speech, language and communication that is aimed specifically for those of you working with children aged 3-5 years. All the EY curriculums in the UK recognise communication and language as a prime area for learning and development.
Speech and language therapy isn’t a magic box of tricks. We know that many children with SLCN can be supported by those working and living with them all the time.
That’s where Elklan training makes a real difference. We are about changing the way people engage with children and young people so that they can achieve their fullest potential.
Because of our experience, we understand what works. We provide a practical structure for both practitioners and parents, giving them the confidence and materials to support the children in their lives – and to enjoy seeing them progress. It’s our “train the trainer“ approach which enables us to share our expertise far and wide. The training works best when therapists and specialist teachers work together, although most commonly, therapists will train on their own with excellent results. In exceptional circumstances, specialist teachers can deliver the training without the support of a speech and language therapist.
