ECLIPS Enhanced Plus
Some children will require a more intense level of support from specialist teachers, therapists and therapy assistants.
- ECLIPS Enhanced Plus will provide Speech and Language Therapy (SLT) within mainstream settings.
- To access the Enhanced Plus service, settings will be required to apply for an Education, Health and Care Needs Assessment (EHCNA) to be formally allocated the service provision. However, provision of service can commence upon identification of need, as jointly identified by the Speech and Language Therapist and the Specialist Outreach Language Teacher.
- Children receiving Enhanced Plus will take part in regular reviews to ensure the provision continues to be appropriate. Once targets are achieved, this level of provision will be tailored to their evolving needs.
