Let's talk: a working party for special schools

The Special Schools Working Party was formed in summer 1996 to improve communication channels and foster understanding between speech and language therapist, school and home. It consists of representatives from all three groups in the six schools involved. The Working Party has produced a document which describes everyone's role and agreed procedures for liaison and training. Its greatest benefit lies in the opportunities for discussion and exchange of ideas. In the future the Working Party is planning to audit customer satisfaction of the service and continue to develop ideas for improving its accessibility.
