Bradford Speech and Language Therapy service are providing free CPD to EYFS practitioners across Bradford as we recognise this need across Bradford schools. This course will give practitioners an understanding of the types of SLCN (speech,
language & communication needs), how to identify SLCN and ideas for how to support them.
The recommendation is to attend each session as the themes link together. The sessions will be delivered via Teams.
