Little Link is the newest addition to the Speech & Language Link range and is designed specifically for early years settings.
Created by specialist speech and language therapists, Little Link empowers early years practitioners to confidently support speech, language and communication needs (SLCN) through early identification, effective support and informed decision‑making.
Little Link helps settings to:
- Identify language and communication needs early
- Provide evidence‑based support within everyday practice
- Build staff skills and confidence through therapist‑designed training and resources
- Recognise when needs are complex and discussion with speech and language therapy services is appropriate
- Ensure no child falls under the radar, boosting language and communication for every little learner
