SUMMARY:FREE Webinar! The Link Between Language and Behaviour with Elklan\, November '25
DESCRIPTION:Join Louise and Gill Clarke from Elklan Training to learn more about the impact that speech\, language and communication needs (SLCN) can have on behaviour. \nIn this session\, we will: \n\nConsider how to identify which children/young people might have SLCN\nExplore how SLCN might be linked to their behaviour\nExplore a range of support strategies\n\nThe content is aimed at practitioners working with 5-16 year olds \n  \nCustomer Testimonial\n‘Since implementing the Elklan strategies\, the number of students with an EHCP who have received suspensions has decreased by over 40% over the past two academic years. This is because staff now understand the link between language and behaviour\, and are focussed more on supporting needs than dealing with behaviour.’ \nStacey McDermott – SENDCo at E-ACT Royton and Crompton Academy\, 2025 \nAbout Gill Clarke\nGill is a paediatric speech and language therapist with over 30 years experience. She has her own independent speech and language therapy practice in York\, UK\, as well as working as a speech and language therapy professional advisor for Elklan Training. In addition to working with individual children\, Gill believes parents\, carers\, pre-school and teaching staff hold the key to unlocking children’s communication potential. Gill is therefore passionate about empowering key adults in their life to support them by developing their knowledge and confidence in how to support speech and language development through sharing knowledge and experience. \nAbout Elklan\nElklan Training is a renowned organisation with expertise in the field of speech\, language and communication training.
