Speech and Language Therapy
Helping with speech, language and communication
Students with communication, speech or language difficulties can get speech & language therapy at College, and take advantage of the latest communication aids.
After an initial assessment, a therapist will work with you to decide what areas you need help with, and what support is right for you.
Speech and language therapy may be in small groups or one-to-one sessions. Everyone is encouraged to practise communicating with other people throughout the College.
Limited communication
Some students at Treloar College have little or no speech, or strangers find their speech very difficult to understand. If this is the case we will work with them to determine the best approach to help them communicate independently. This may involve:
- Signing
- Using symbols
- Using electronic communication aids- called augmentative & alternative communication (AAC) equipment
- Improving language skills
If a student’s language is fluent and intelligible but they need help to talk about complicated issues, we can also help with:
- Lip reading skills
- The social use of language programme (SULP)
- Arranging the City & Guilds qualification in effective AAC use
- Hearing aid maintenance
