Communication and Interaction organisations, links and resources - Graduated approach to Inclusion - SENCO Guide

Plymouth, Devon and Torbay Early Communication and Language monitoring tool

This tool outlines key milestones in speech, language and communication development to support identification of children's needs in the Early Years Foundation Stage as part of the Graduated Approach to Inclusion.

The purpose of this tool is to help assess a child's level of development in order to make informed decisions about what the child needs to learn and be able to do next. The tool can help practitioners to notice whether a child is at risk of falling behind in their development and supports early identification of the need for referral for specialist support.
