A message from Bank View’s speech and language therapist

Alix is our speech and language therapists working at Bank View this year. 

What we do:

• The SALT team provides assessment, training and support for students with Speech, Language and Communication. 
• We will support the children in many ways, working collaboratively with staff to develop a communication friendly environment across the school. Work with staff to develop group interventions to support language and communication skills and offer specialist support where needed, offering direct therapy. We will work alongside other professionals where appropriate.
• Students can be referred into the service directly by parent/guardian or from within the school with parent/guardian consent. Once a referral is accepted, a student could be seen in school.  Please speak to your child’s class teacher if you would like a referral form. 
• We will be running termly drop in/coffee mornings to support communication as a family. 

The SALT team is looking forward to working with you all this year, if you have any questions you can contact us by email speechandlanguage@bankview.liverpool.sch.uk and we can call you back 🙂

Alix provides training to staff in Lego therapy and Blank level questioning.
