What do practitioners say?

As the SENCo at a large primary school I work with many speech and language therapists, as well as the staff who deliver the programmes they write. The 5-11s course has provided me with a thorough and comprehensive overview of speech and language needs and strategies.

I found the course structure logical and accessible. I also liked the fact that many of the strategies discussed could be used as whole class or group teaching approaches, not just as 1:1 intervention – particularly the strategies around vocabulary and expressive language development.

The Language Builders manual is a great resource, providing clear information and worked examples. An excellent professional development opportunity.

Re: Elklan e-learning sessions for 5-11s
I have found this course to be really useful and informative. This was my top training of 2019!

The tutor shows a lot of passion and appeared very knowledgeable in this area. The course has made me reflect on my 1-1 work with young people and how it can be improved on to better meet my young people's speech and language needs
