Communication is a vital skill that all children need to learn.

Without it they will not reach their full potential. At ILM nursery we give parents and carers the information they need to help their children develop these skills. If your son or daughter has difficulty with speaking, they may need help, or they may struggle in nursery or school. With the right help with talking and listening, they can develop the skills they need.  If you are concerned with your child's speech, language and communication, you can check the progress of their development. We also have free resources for parents.

Child Counselling

A child with ageneral learning disability finds it more difficult to learn, understand and do things compared to other children of the same age.  Like all children and young people, children with learning disabilities continue to progress and learn throughout their childhood - but more slowly.

General learning disability is different fromspecific learning difficulty which means that the person has difficulties in one or two areas of their learning, but manages well in other areas of their development. For example, a child can have a specific learning difficulty in reading, writing or understanding what is said to them, but have no problem with learning skills in other areas of life.

Sometimes children and young people (and their families) may need extra support if they are finding it difficult to deal with or understand their emotions and/or behaviour. Schools often provide professionals to help young people and their families, such as learning or behaviour mentors, family liaison officers or professionals from external services. However some children and young people, or their families, may decide to seek further help in the form of counselling.
