Communication Group - Term 1 - Session 5

Speech and language groups focussed on social communication for children with Down’s syndrome who require small group work. These groups follow on from the Early Intervention Service (approximately aged 7) and can cover all school aged children and young people.

They are speech therapy led groups with an emphasis on social skills, conversations, friendships, and relationships. The groups provide additional support for children and young people to build self-awareness, awareness of others and socially appropriate behaviour.

The groups are designed to complement the individualised speech programmes that children and young people will already have running. Each term is topic-based and allows children and young people to explore each topic in a fun and inclusive environment. Topics include things like; all about me, relationships, community, time, language for identity and transitions.
