Reception teacher advice?

[redheadmary]

If u were a reception this teacher could u help this child.

He does talk but not really in sentences but understands everything and follows instructions well. Just needs a little prompt sometimes to remind him what's expected of him.

Isn't awfully social with the other children but will play alongside them and likes just doing his own thing a lot

Speech and communication is the main issue really

Are you the parent? Has your child had a hearing test or any SaLT involvement? What did they advise? How is the rest of his development - motor skills, reading and writing?

What do you mean by ‘help’. How old is he and what intervention and support is he already receiving. Has he been assessed by a speech and language specialist? As that should be the first step.
Ordinary EYFS teachers will have a certain amount of strategies and support they can offer a child with language issues. They are not specialists however and also have the demands of 28 other kids to balance out.
It sounds like your son needs some specialist support, school can refer him and get the ball rolling but how quickly it happens will depend on funding available and what other needs there is within the class/school. SEN budgets are very stretched and kids will be prioritised by level of need.

What do you mean by help?

It sounds like a combination of speech and social issues. I'd expect an EYFS teacher to offer some support but not to be trained specifically. I'd expect the child needs some specialist intervention.

He's 4 and off to school in September. He's my child yes. Speech and language are involved and an EHCP is in place for school

Ok, so school should be providing what the EHCP recommended. Presuming the school has been chosen as it can meet his needs and that funding is in place?
His teacher and his support assistant will follow the recommendations of the EHCP and the speech and language specialist involved. I would perhaps expect him to receive visits from the speech and language team to support him and the school.
As has been said, an ‘ordinary’ class teacher does not have the specialist knowledge (or the time) to do it by herself. That’s what the EHCP is for, to get him access to specialist support and targeted help.
