Using Commtap  

The www.commtap.org (Targets and Activities Project) website created by Lorna Lloyd and Neil Thompson is highly popular and packed with high-quality resources. Originally set up to provide practical lesson outlines to develop communication skills for children on the P Scales, it has been developed to include references to the Early Years Foundation Stage levels, and up into the lower National Curriculum levels, across many school subjects.

The workshop includes:

• P-levels/National Curriculum/EYFS (as appropriate) and communication skills;
• Finding appropriate activities based on a child's level, or to continue on from work you are already doing;
• Using the site to step up or step down a level;
• Tour of the site, and how it can be used to support your daily work;
• Plenty of opportunities to practice using the site and ask questions.

This workshop will take you through the Commtap site - how it is organised, how you can find activities for working with children with communication disabilities - using the Early Years Foundation Stage areas of learning or the P-Scales / National Curriculum depending on your setting.

Presented by Neil Thompson - Commtap CIC, and Specialist Speech and Language Therapist in Tower Hamlets, London.
