Using evidence-based programmes, small group interventions
offer specific support for a wide range of
children and young people, including those
with expressive, receptive and/or social
communication difficulties. Intervention at this stage will enable children and
young people to effectively manage strategies in the classroom.
Targeted support also provides training for
TAs to run small groups such as language
groups, narrative groups, social
communication skills and phonology
programmes, offering training and
modelling for teaching assistants along
with support, guidance and mentoring.
Services may include:
- Signposting schools to
resources and best practice
- Liaison with parents and
children and young people
- Training and mentoring for teaching assistants running language groups
