We have commissioned a new online speech, language and communication need (SLCN) education and information resource available to all.

The Balanced System® framework is a way of making sure that in a setting, school or local area, the right provisions are available for parents, carers and professionals to help children and young people develop their speech, language and communication.

Our new Dorset speech, language and communication pathway is a journey to support children and young people for parents, carers and professionals.
