Using Narratives to Enhance Speech, Language and Communication in Students with Speech, Language and Communication Needs (SLCN): the magic of storytelling.

This workshop introduces and explores the different types of narratives that are used routinely in our daily lives. The importance of narratives in language development, educational attainment and social and emotional development across cultures will be highlighted. Information is provided on the importance of narratives as a predictor of language and educational performance, as well as its role in the social and emotional development of children.
The importance of narratives in enhancing language and communication across the curriculum in children and young people with Speech, Language and Communication Needs (SLCN) will be discussed. The value of narratives as an assessment tool, both standardised and non-standardised, and as an intervention, in enhancing language and communication across the lifespan, is explored, as well as its utility in measuring outcomes.

A critical overview of the evidence base for narrative therapy with children and young people with SLCN will be discussed. Strategies to facilitate narrative skills across abilities and ages will be highlighted. There will also be time for further discussion and questions around specific client groups or individual cases, as well as exploration of future implications and directions for research and clinical and educational practice.
