What is Language Disorder? - School Support Services

Getting a good start in school provides the foundation for a child’s learning and development for the rest of their lives.
School Support Services
Collaborative meetings were great – team explained what their testing uncovered and we were able to ask questions, seek advice and access resources and online training. The intensive support sessions were valuable because we were able to see first-hand how the resources and strategies could be used effectively with the students.

Star of the Sea Catholic Primary School
To date, we have only accessed the initial school visit/multidisciplinary evaluation phase. We have been extremely satisfied with this service and how it can support our school processes for students referred with suspected/identified language development difficulties.

Head of Department – Differentiation
Silkstone State School
To have a team come and spend the day dedicated to performing informal assessments for identified students is a big win for us. We value input from a range of specialists. The meeting with staff provided confirmation of our observations and provided further insight into each student.

Very positive interactions between the School Support Services team and school staff/students throughout all sessions. The IS sessions were particularly valuable in building staff capacity – we included a graduate teacher in this process which was a really positive experience
