Educational Setting

Since language for the purposes of learning and communicating is closely related to context, the environment is a critical factor in the successful management of language problems associated with LKS. Some experts have pointed out that creating a situation where the child feels at ease is a key aspect to the rehabilitation programme as it sets the scene for enthusiastic learning. Others have advised that language therapy should be integrated into classroom management. Language therapy and educational management should therefore always be considered in relation to the other.

Educational placements will be covered in more detail in the 'school' section.
