About speech, language and communication

Children putting hands up in class

We want every child and young person who lives in Coventry to be supported to reach their full potential with speech, language and communication.

Communication is a two way process where ideas, information, feelings, requests and questions are shared. This may be done through different means such as the understanding and use of spoken or written language including speech sounds, gesture or visual aids.

Information about services to support and help children’s communication is outlined in our local and national guidance page.

Information on courses and training are also available to support children’s communication for practitioners.
