Information for Commissioners for SLTs: Commissioning training for Parents

SLTs are highly trained professionals who produce quality information for parents. The better parents are at completing therapy programmes at home the more quickly the child should progress which ultimately means improved outcomes for children and throughput.

Training parents is a huge benefit not only for the child who has difficulties but for all the children in the family. Money spent on training and equipping parents to communicate more effectively with their child is money well spent.

It is therefore essential that SLTs offer effective tried and tested training to parents and Elklan can provide the training resources therapists need.
Elklan courses focus on developing communication and social interaction skills which are crucial to effective parenting and so the impact on the child and family can be far reaching.

Elklan offers the following highly successful Open College Network level 1 accredited courses:

• Let's Talk with under 5's
  Let's Talk with 5-9's
  Let's Talk with Special Children (for children with severe and complex learning needs)

All the courses are designed to run over 7 weeks, each session lasting 2 hours; they can also be taught in four half day sessions.
