DLD Webinar Series
A series of webinars specifically aimed at helping staff in mainstream schools to support children and young people with DLD.
DLD - Adapting Teaching Practice to help children with DLD access the curriculum
Following on from our introduction 'DLD - What every class teacher needs to know!' this course introduces classroom practitioners to ten key strategies.
About the tutor
These courses are run by Sue Marr, a specialist SLCN teacher from Moor House. Sue has extensive knowledge of devising and delivering a mainstream curriculum that has been highly differentiated for the language needs of the pupils in her class. She has worked alongside speech and language therapists for many years, ensuring that speech therapy can be integrated using a range of specialist systems.
Thank you from us for the great training. All the staff were talking about it afterwards and found it really useful looking at the different strategies to use. Staff really enjoyed your personal examples as you made it 'real' and not theoretical. You spoke from the heart and the passion and enthusiasm for DLD is very obvious to hear and see.
