What's New
We have been very moved to hear Michael Rosen talking about how much his speech and language therapist has helped him during his re-habilitation post covid19.
We applaud his honesty as he talks about how valuable he has found his speech and language therapy and discusses the importance of finding words to make it clear to others what type of support might be needed.https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b006qtnz/episodes/downloads
Bilingual Assessment Materials: Functional Language Across Countries (FLAC) English
This brand new addition to our catalogue has been designed for speech and language therapists working with families where English is not spoken, and/or where English is spoken as a second language.
Therapists may also find this pack helpful to explore the early language knowledge of children who speak English as a first language.
This resource provides an informal tool to help therapists wishing to explore the English-language knowledge of children who are in the process of acquiring English as an additional language. Using the support of an interpreter, the materials allow the speech therapist to asses children for whose language there is not a version of FLAC available (our range currently covers Mandarin, Russian, Lithuanian, Spanish, Polish, Slovak).
The pack includes full instructions, stimulus and record forms and all the pictures necessary to complete the assessment forms. The materials cover vocabulary for a range of language functions (including naming, activity, description and location words, negation and possession; connectivity; and polar and interrogative question forms).
