The Social Communication Intervention Programme Resource: Supporting Children's Pragmatic and Social Communication Needs, Ages 6-11

The Social Communication Intervention Programme (SCIP) has been developed to support school-aged children (6–11 years) with social communication, pragmatic, and language needs. SCIP provides a rationale and method for providing specialist level pragmatics and language therapy for these children who have significant social communication differences.

The SCIP model is introduced in The SCIP Manual. The Social Communication Intervention Programm Resource book presents the content of the intervention programme itself, using a nested structure of 150 adaptable therapy activities. It contains the complete set of resources required to plan and deliver the interventions set out in the companion book, including forms, activities, and ready-made information sheets. Content can also be downloaded and printed for easy use.

Used alongside The Social Communication Intervention Programme Manual, this book offers a truly practical, tried-and-tested model to provide targeted, individualised intervention for children with social communication challenges. It is an essential tool for speech and language therapists, specialist teachers, and psychologists who are working with children with social communication, pragmatic, and language needs.

For the most effective use, The SCIP Resource should be purchased alongside The SCIP Manual.
