The Speech & Language Garden Training Package brings specialist speech and language knowledge, practical strategies, implementation resources and leadership tools together in one flexible online package.
Designed for education teams across Early Years, primary and secondary settings.
🌷 12 months' access 🌷 Learn at your own pace 🌷 Individual and team licences 🌷
Your staff don't need to become speech and language specialists.
But they do need to feel confident supporting communication.
Every day, education and childcare staff work with children whose speech, language and communication needs affect how they understand, learn, participate and interact.
But knowing that communication matters and knowing what to do about it are two very different things.
Staff need practical knowledge they can apply in the classroom, setting or wider school environment, without every query or concern needing to become a referral to a specialist service.
From identifying need to embedding inclusive practice
The Training Package supports your team across all areas of SEND and inclusive practice:
🔎 Identification
Recognise communication needs and barriers
Help staff develop the knowledge and confidence to notice potential speech, language and communication needs and understand how these may affect learning, participation and behaviour.
📝 Systems & Monitoring
Build consistency and know what is happening
Support SENCOs and leaders to develop staff confidence, consistent approaches, appropriate recording and monitoring, and a shared understanding of communication-friendly practice.
🫴 Intervention & Support
Respond with appropriate support
Give staff practical strategies and resources they can use as part of everyday provision, targeted support and classroom practice.
🌳 Review, Prepare & Plan
Use what you learn to improve provision
Use staff skills audits, reflection tools, monitoring information and professional knowledge to identify priorities, plan CPD and continually strengthen provision.

More than a collection of courses
This training package brings together specialist CPD and practical resources covering a broad range of speech, language and communication needs.
That means you don't have to predict exactly which training every member of staff will need.
Your team can explore the areas most relevant to their role, their pupils and the needs you are seeing across your setting, with the flexibility to revisit training and resources throughout their 12 months of access.
One package. A whole team. A year of professional development.

Who Am I?
I'm Beth Morrant, a Highly Specialist Speech & Language Therapist with nearly 2 decades experience working across mainstream schools, Early Years settings and with families.
Throughout my career, I've seen how speech, language and communication needs can affect children's learning, participation, behaviour and relationships.
I've also seen the difference it makes when the adults around them have the knowledge and confidence to recognise these needs and respond appropriately.
That's why I created my training inside The Speech & Language Garden.
I wanted to make specialist speech and language knowledge accessible and practical for the people who work with children every day.
Teachers, SENCOs, teaching assistants and early years practitioners are already busy enough in their role and don't need to become specialists in speech, language and communication. They need to understand how communication affects children's experiences, recognise when a child may need additional support, and know what they can do within their own role.
This Training Package brings together the specialist CPD and practical resources that I have created to help staff develop that knowledge, apply it in their everyday practice and build a more consistent approach to supporting communication across their setting.
My aim is simple: to help education and childcare teams feel more confident supporting the children they work with, while making specialist knowledge practical and achievable within the realities of busy settings.
