Using this toolkit

There are three ways to use this teacher’s resource for communication support needs:

1. Simply navigate through the topics via the menu on the left of the page.
2. Read through the Teacher’s Checklist and click the links to take you directly to information relevant to any question/topic you are interested in.
3. Enter keywords relating to your query into the search box (top left).

Please note:

• The toolkit does not identify the actual supports that might be appropriate for a particular student; rather it aims to guide teachers and school staff through steps and resources that enable the identification and implementation of individually appropriate supports and teaching strategies.
• In the Topics section, the information is presented as a series of sequential steps, however, some steps may not be relevant for some students.
• The toolkit will be updated as new relevant information arises.  If you haven’t already – please sign up for updates here. You can also provide feedback and suggestions for updated content to support@studentswithnospeech.org.au.
• You can contact us at support@studentswithnospeech.org.au for queries not fully addressed in this resource.
