SEND Support
At Little Birch, we are dedicated to providing comprehensive support for children with Special Educational Needs. We understand that every child is unique and may require tailored approaches to help them thrive. Our experienced practitioners are committed to fostering an inclusive environment where each child can reach their full potential through personalised strategies and resources. Together, we work to support both our children and their families on this important journey.

How do we support our children with SEND?
Language and Communication Support
Supporting a child's language and communication development is essential for fostering their independence and confidence. At Little Birch, we create a language-rich environment paired with highly qualified practitioners who are dedicated to identifying Language and Communication developmental needs and ensuring that every child receives the support they need.

If our practitioners identify that a child may need additional support with their Language and communication development we use our Speech, Language and Communication Pathway to ensure that we fully understand your child's needs, and are able to create an individual plan that best supports their development whilst also identifying where referrals to external agencies may be appropriate.
​
Our daily Seedlings group provides an opportunity for children to have more targeted support in a small group to support their language and communication, as well as their social communication needs.
​
Where we identify a child may need more specialist support we work with families to help them access the Dorset NHS Readi Steadi Chat referral service.
