Has anyone found/been given a legal definition of what a language unit is/offers??

[moondog]

Because I have to say,despite being a salt myself,there is a heck of a lot of variation!!

In our area there used to be language units for different types of problems. I visited a unit where pupils had both receptive and expressive language difficulties. I also visited a unit where the children had mainly expressive language difficulties. From my experience they have shut down many of the units and the units that are still open have a different remit everytime I want to refer a child there.

Not an answer to your question just an agreement that there seems to be a lot of variation. A shame really as the units I visited where fantastic.

It really depends what you mean and why?

BH,as in promises of what is offered to you,partic. in terms of time with a salt in situ.

My own dd got lots of 1 to 1 in nursery with the SALT (daily)

Now in year 3 she has lots of group sessions mainly working on communication/social skills

Quite a lot of it is passed by the SALT to the language base teachers who are more than qualified IMO to do it

Anymore q's?

Thanks BH but am thinking of provision and how a unit is sold/promised to a parent.
I would imagine most consider it to mean a salt is always there. That's how I understand/undestood it as a salt.

I don't think I really want to go back to work as a salt anymore.
Everyone seems under so much pressure-parents and salts.

They are but are so so busy.

The children with speech dificulties have priorities over the children with language (which I disagree with) so lots of there time is spent on that.

Is this on a personal level for dd or for your own career?

My ds attend the language unit 5 mornings a week for social and communication difficulties (suspected asperges syndrome) and I have to say they have worked wonders with him, there has been an amazing improvement in the last 12 months.

General career question dd.
Lots of parents being sold an empty promise.

Sorry,mean BH!

Isn't dd in one moondog?
