Assess

Assess and monitor children’s communication development as part of the Early Years Foundation Stage.  If the child has English as a second language talk to parents about how the child performs in their home language.

Early Years settings can use screening tools to assess a childs needs, put in place a plan with targets, sharing targets with parents and monitor this plan making a note of progress or ongoing difficulties.
