Early Years SEND Specialist Advisory Service

There are a number of professionals in the team who work alongside settings and parents to ensure children with SEND in the early years get good quality, inclusive support that helps them make progress. A child does not need a medical diagnosis or an EHCP to be referred to the team - the Early Years SEND team will provide support based on a child’s level of need.

Find out more about the EY team here.

DSPL7 Early Years Sensory Resources Library

DSPL7 has a number of resources suitable for children with ASD, ADHD and sensory needs, which can be borrowed by EY settings for up to a term.  This allows settings to trial these items to see if they have a positive impact on the child.  

To request to borrow any resources, please email admin@dspl7.org.uk

DSPL7 WellComm Toolkits

EY settings can borrow an EY WellComm Toolkit from the DSPL7 Assessment Tools library.  This useful resource can quickly identify speech and language issues in children up to 4 years.  To borrow a toolkit for a month, please email admin@dspl7.org.uk
