Parayhouse has 3 Speech and Language Therapists [SLTs] as members of its multi-professional team.
All prospective students have an informal speech & language assessment on Observation Days to determine speech, language and communication needs; this is followed by in-depth diagnostic assessment on entry to Parayhouse, which forms the basis for classroom support strategies & individual intervention programmes.
The SLTs provide all students with weekly lessons in Social Communication Skills [SCS], Vocabulary & Semantic Skills [VSS] and Social & Emotional Aspects of Learning [SEAL]. In addition, SLTs lead daily Phonics sessions in every Key Group, and support speech, language & communications skills in a range of lessons across the curriculum, including Personal Health & Social Education [PHSE], Science, Drama, Lifeskills & Maths Topic.
Depending upon their specific requirements students can also receive individual, paired or small group speech & language therapy sessions.
