<p>A simple and easy to use assessment tool to help you decipher which age band a child is functioning at for Communication &amp; Language from 18 months to 11 years - covering the entire primary phase. The tool is based on the ‘I Can’ statements from the ‘Universally Speaking Stages of Speech and Language Development’ and the ‘Speech and Language UK - Talking Point - Ages and Stages’ documents.</p> <p>The tool is split into four key areas so that is also easy to identify whether a child has gaps in one particular area or strand or is working universally below or above age related expectations.</p> <p>The strands are:</p> <p>Listening and attention<br /> Understanding<br /> Speech sounds and talk<br /> Social skills</p> <p>The tool can be highlighted and dated which can then be used to identify targets and next steps for the child and show progress. It also helps to build a profile of evidence around communication and language to aid discussions with parents and professionals.</p>
