These criteria and screening tools will identify what support you can give the child in your setting and what advice you could offer to parents / carers.
They are designed to support referrers in deciding when to refer to the Speech and Language Therapy service (SLT).
If a child scores a green rating, this suggests that their speech, language and communication skills are developing within the expected range. However if you would like some additional advice on universal strategies and targeted interventions, this can be found here.
Children who score an amber rating will require support with their speech and language development in their setting and at home. You should look for advice on universal strategies and targeted interventions found here.
Children who score a red rating will require support with their speech and language development in their setting and at home. You should look for advice on universal strategies and targeted interventions found here and make a referral to Speech and Language Therapy Service.
