Find out how to identify when your students are struggling with their speech and language skills and learn which strategies will best help them to succeed.
In this session we will talk about common signs that a student might be struggling, think about supportive strategies and consider how to match your strategy to your students’ challenges so that they can reach their potential. This session provides an opportunity for delegates to network with colleagues from across the country, to share experiences and learn from others.
