Early Talk Boost Practitioner Training

Brief overview

This course is suitable for practitioners new to this intervention as well as those who have received this training in the past and would like a refresher.

Do you have the resources to deliver Early Talk Boost, but currently have few, or no practitioners trained to implement this intervention, then this is the ideal course for you.

It is essential that you obtain the Early Talk Boost Intervention Pack (hyperlink https://shop.speechandlanguage.org.uk/products/early-talk-boost-intervention-pack) in order to fully access the training and carry out the intervention within your setting (see pre-course information below).

This course aims to upskill delegates to successfully and confidently deliver this important and proven intervention. 

Early Talk Boost is a pre-school language intervention designed for children aged 3-4 years who have delayed language development. The intervention helps to boost their language skills, helping to narrow achievement gaps between them and their peers. With this training, you can ensure your staff team are confident to deliver the intervention so as many children as possible can benefit, with improved outcomes for their speech, language and communication development. This intervention also supports their PSED.

Findings show that, after taking part in Early Talk Boost, children make, on average, 6 months progress after a nine week intervention. This is twice the amount of progress than children not having the intervention, making this an excellent use of Early Years Pupil Premium (EYPP)

This training is aimed at experienced practitioners, however settings may wish to book a place for more than one practitioner.
