SENCO training to support speech, language and communication in schools
SENCO training to support speech, language and communication in schools
London Speech Therapy (LST), a leading provider of specialist speech and language therapy services for children and adults, is pleased to announce an upcoming SENCO training day taking place on 25 February, from 9:30am to 3:30pm, at its Stratford clinic (22 Deanery Road, Stratford).
Designed specifically for SENCos, teachers, and school professionals working across primary and secondary settings, the training will provide practical, evidence-informed strategies to support pupils with Speech, Language and Communication Needs (SLCN) in the classroom.
The interactive day will include hands-on activities, real-world examples, and opportunities for discussion, ensuring attendees leave with tools they can confidently apply in their own settings.
Key areas of focus will include:
– Classroom strategies to support SLCN in both primary and secondary education
– Therapy-informed approaches to support non-speaking pupils and early communicators
– Understanding Developmental Language Disorder (DLD) and how to support learners with DLD in the classroom
– How to monitor and measure the effectiveness of interventions and support
– The use of neurodivergent-affirming language and inclusive practices
– An introduction to Gestalt Language Processing (GLP)
– Effective use of Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) to support communication and participation.
The training will be delivered by Laura Harle, an experienced Speech and Language Therapist and School Service Lead from London Speech Therapy, with support from Neurodiversity Service lead, Deborah Conte, combining clinical expertise with a strong understanding of the realities of school environments. Refreshments and lunch will be provided. The cost of attendance is £50 per person – unless the school already has a relationship with London Speech Therapy; in which case, places are free.
London Speech Therapy has a long-standing history of working in partnership with schools, nurseries, healthcare providers and private clients across London and beyond. With two well-established clinics in Harley Street and East London, the organisation now has a new clinic in Clapham, which opened in January 2026 plus access to therapy rooms in Belgravia, Marylebone, Monument and Old Street.
