About the course

Our highly successful accredited training course, Supporting Children with Unclear Speech, is available through blended web-based learning. Uniquely, this has an interactive component of which we are very proud.

This course is best suited to those working with children over 4 years of age who have delayed speech sound development and who would be able to implement a speech programme with one child.

The course programme involves:

• Online modules which are completed through self-study at a time that suits you but should be completed before the live webinar
• Live webinars which are an hour long (webinar 2 is one and a half hours) and are pre-arranged at specific times

Whilst it is advisable that applicants have completed a Core Elklan course first, this is not a requirement.

Applicants must be able to implement a speech programme with one child.

If you would like to check if a speech programme is appropriate for a child, and you do not have access to a qualified Speech and Language Therapist to carry out an assessment, you can request a remote assessment through Elklan. If you would like an assessment carried out remotely by Elklan please click here.

If this it is not possible to implement a speech progrmame with one child, apply instead to access the e-learning sessions and live webinars but not to complete a Learning Log or gain accreditation. This means you can attend if you have an interest in this field and/or hope to work with children who have unclear speech at a later date. You will not have the additional work of implementing that which you have learnt with a child but neither will you gain accreditation. You will be issued with an attendance certificate only. This will cost £270 plus VAT.

If you select the non-accredited option but find you are able to work with a child, you can complete a Learning Log and gain accreditation but due to the extra administration particularly in finding an assessor specifically for you and the marking involved there will be a charge of £100 plus VAT for a late application to complete a learning log. This means you will pay a total of £370 to complete the online sessions and attend the live webinars now and then complete a learning log at a later date rather than £330 when all activities are completed at the same time.
