How WellComm can help you

Early identification

WellComm helps identify children who may have speech and language development issues early on, making sure they get the support they need when it matters most. Early detection is crucial, as children often mask their difficulties. Language barriers are often hidden, 2-3 children in every classroom face significant SLCN with many more children potentially underdiagnosed and unsupported. Early identification ensures children get the help they need, boosting their confidence and helping them thrive.

Simple and quick to use

WellComm offers a quick, 10-15 minute universal screening with a traffic light system to easily identify speech and language needs. Available in both digital and paper formats, it provides instant reporting and progress tracking. The toolkit is user-friendly and requires no specialist speech and language knowledge, making it accessible to teachers, nursery workers and health visitors. WellComm also helps practitioners and parents work together, with activities that can be used at home to support children in all settings.

Traffic light reporting

WellComm uses easy-to-understand traffic light reporting to highlight a child’s speech and language development. Green indicates an expected level, amber suggests targeted support may be needed and red signals more complex needs that could require referral to a speech and language specialist.

Ready-to-use interventions

WellComm saves you time with structured, easy-to-implement interventions. Use the group planning overview to ensure targeted support matches pupil need and The Big Book of Ideas to incorporate language learning activities into everyday practice. This ensures children maintain progress in the classroom, reducing the need for excessive referrals and enabling staff to support all children, even during the waiting period.

Who can use WellComm?

A very wide range of early years practitioners, teachers, SENCOs, and Speech and Language Therapists (SLTs) across early years and primary settings. As it’s a complete package of screening and support, it can be used effectively by anyone with or without speech or language expertise, including teaching assistants. Parents can also use the activities with their children at home.

What do I get in the WellComm toolkit?

Everything you need to screen, generate results, and act on them! The WellComm toolkit includes The Handbook, The Little Book of Score Sheets and Rules, The Picture Book, The Big Book of Ideas and an optional Online Report Wizard.

When is the best time to use WellComm?

WellComm can be used at any time during the year –whenever you want to take a snapshot of the pupils in your care (such as on entry to primary school), or when you suspect a child of having underlying speech and/or language problems. You can also screen again as many times as you need to, to measure the impact of the interventions you’ve put in place.

Is WellComm suitable for use with EAL children?

Most aspects of WellComm can be used with EAL children as it’s a very visual test which can, where appropriate, be conducted with EAL children in their own language. This means that you can find out whether issues are actually down to a language barrier, rather than developmental needs.

How do I decide whether referral to SLT services is needed?

Red indicators in the traffic light reports flag the children who should be prioritized for referral. Children with amber indicators can initially be helped by school-based interventions to see if they improve without external support. In cases where you do apply for SLT services, WellComm’s reports support the referral process.
