What is Speech & Language Support?

The East Ayrshire Support Team (EAST) has worked in partnership with colleagues from Ayrshire & Arran Speech & Language Therapy to support pupils with a Phonological Disorder.

Two interventions have been developed:

1) A first tier intervention to specifically address phonological awareness skills delivered by a member of EAST staff. This may be as a 1:1 intervention or as part of a small group.

2) A more intensive collaborative model with a bespoke package of support delivered by a Speech & Language Therapist, an EAST teacher and a school’s classroom assistant.
