Pegasus: A Language Foundation Skills Group
Preschools with children who have (remove ‘long-term’) speech, language, and communication needs. This includes children with a developmental language disorder. Many will already be on a waiting list for specialist therapy.
Pegasus is a smaller language group, designed to address the specific needs of children with language difficulties, including developmental language disorder.
In a gentle, encouraging, playful way, we help children build skills which are critical to engage with the world:
-
Overcome their difficulties listening, processing, and understanding language, so they can pay attention and focus for longer.
-
Grasp meaning, so they can follow instructions, stay on-topic, respond to questions, remember explanations, and learn new words.
-
Talk and communicate, using the correct word order in a sentence, telling a simple story, and building a secure word retrieval.
Not only do pupils have lots of fun, the skills they learn in Pegasus help them in many other aspects of their lives too.
They’ll find it easier to form friendships and interact with peers, boosting their social-emotional wellbeing.
With a better working memory, literacy skills, reading comprehension, and written expression, they’re more likely to achieve academic milestones.
And strong social and academic skills will give them better employment prospects in later life.
