EAL and Speech and Language Therapy: Building Language Skills Together

This session will explore the links between English as an Additional Language (EAL) and Speech and Language Therapy (SALT), focusing on practical ways to build children’s language skills in the classroom.

We’ll look at how to identify when a child’s needs relate to learning an additional language versus when there may be underlying speech, language, or communication needs.

Attendees will gain practical strategies, resources, and ideas for supporting vocabulary, narrative skills, and communication in multilingual settings.
