Accredited training

Elklan offers the following highly successful Let's talk range of courses for parents. All are accredited through Open College Network at level 1 making them valuable for parents who are also involved in working with children.

• 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)
  Let's Talk Together (for children with social communication needs including ASD)

     

All of the Let's talk courses are very practical and throughout each session there are opportunities to:

• Think about your child's communication
• Try new ideas
• Choose activities specifically for you
• Discuss a range of issues
• Practise using ideas at home or in the work place
• Gain recognition for taking part in the course by recording your ideas, observations and activities in a booklet. You can gain a certificate from the Open College Network South West which is part of Plymouth University. This could help you with employment opportunities. You will be given support and encouragement to achieve this goal.

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.
