Meachelle Johnson, 2023, re: Elklan Speech and Language Support for 11-16s

I loved every element of this course, it has honestly been so useful and I'm so happy that I can improve my practice and help my children because of it.

Alice Urrutia, 2024, re: Elklan Speech and Language Support for 5-11s

This course has been such a lovely experience and has expanded my knowledge greatly, I look forward to putting it all into my practice and seeing the changes it makes.

Eleanor Loveley, 2024, re: Elklan Speech and Language Support for 3-5s

I have attended many courses in my 28 years in education. The Elklan course has given me the most practical strategies to support the young people I work with. I recommend the Elklan course to everyone!

Greer Kidney, 2023, re: Elklan Speech and Language Support for 11-16s

This will change the way we look at speech, language and communication in our school. It has been invaluable - thank you.

Laura Jennings, 2024, re: Elklan Speech and Language Support for 5-11s

Incredibly useful course for Early Years practitioners which really gives you the insight into the development of speech and communication, understanding how to support children and ways to incorporate amendments to practice that makes a big difference.

Kirsty Wilkinson, 2024, re: Elklan Speech and Language Support for 3-5s

This was the most useful course I have ever done and is so relevant to my job role. I feel much more confident in supporting all children with their speech, language and communication development and well equipped to recognise if and when a child may need further intervention. I feel so glad to have been given this opportunity.

Alyson Williams, 2024, re: Elklan Speech and Language Support for 0-3s

I have enjoyed learning about supporting communication with pupils who have ASD, it will be beneficial to take this approach as a whole school approach, especially for mainstream ALN. Thank you very much.

Kellieann O'Sullivan, 2024, re: Elklan Communication and Language Support for Autistic Pupils

I have really enjoyed this course and it has helped me to use ELKLAN and the SEMH together. They really work together and complement each other.

Deborah Harrison, 2023, re: Elklan Supporting Social, Emotional and Mental Health of Children and Young People

On a personal level I find that I have extreme joy in the increasing number of communicative moments I am having with certain children since starting the course. It can be so frustrating when everything you have tried with a child isn't working as you would expect and this approach is helping children to 'look up and out' as we are finally tuning in!
