Abstract
I CAN building on its long experience of integrating education and speech and language therapy in its specialist speech and language schools, has pioneered a variety of new approaches to collaborative working for the benefit of children. This paper describes three examples of relatively new services: Specialist nurseries; Teach Speech: a pilot project for primary aged children using videoconferencing; and Secondary School Language Resources within mainstream schools. Studies to evaluate the effectiveness of some of these services are also reported. All three types of service described demonstrate effective collaboration between at least two of the following three sectors: voluntary, statutory and private. The potential and benefits of this collaboration are highlighted.
