The focus of this Early Years section of the Inclusion Development Programme (IDP) is supporting children with speech, language and communication needs. It is relevant to all practitioners, teachers, managers and leaders working within the EYFS, with children from birth to the age of five.

This booklet and the interactive DVD should be used in a group with colleagues to form the basis of continuous professional development (CPD) sessions. The content of the DVD reflects the content of the booklet, giving video examples of real practice and activities that will promote further reflection and development. These materials will help improve provision for all children, and will particularly support in developing more inclusive practice, especially for children with speech, language and communication needs.

The materials are organised according to the four sections of the EYFS; 'A unique child'; 'Positive relationships'; 'Enabling environments'; and 'Learning and development'.
