Speech & Language Therapy

Learners at Landmarks are supported through a Total Communication Approach, SLT support with:

  • To ensure learners can make choices, get their message across, express wants, needs, and feelings

Understanding

Social Skills

  • To enable learners to form friendships, have ‘good conversations’ gain awareness of appropriate relationships and support positive interactions.

Working Together to Support Learners

Therapy support is identified during the initial assessment process and reviewed regularly throughout each learner’s programme to ensure it remains appropriate and effective.

Therapies at Landmarks offer:

  • One-to-one and group sessions, alongside collaborative delivery with education staff
  • Individualised learner support guidelines that outline strengths and needs, with practical strategies and recommendations
  • Staff training, guidance and ongoing liaison through close collaboration with education, welfare and Positive Behaviour Support teams to develop effective strategies and support learners to achieve their educational targets.
  • Environmental assessments and tailored recommendations to improve accessibility, engagement and participation.
