For health visiting teams using the Early Language Identification Measure and Intervention (ELIM-I), Newcastle University have developed new resources to support the identification of children's speech, language and communication needs, and to provide tailored support to families. ELIM-I is designed for use with all children attending their 2-2 ½ year Healthy Child Review.
As part of the intervention, 鶹Լ Tiny Happy People have worked with Newcastle University to develop a set of films to be used in conjunction with
Newcastle University ELIM-I resources
Newcastle University's resources have been co-produced with practitioners and parents to support health visiting practice.
On the practitioners may find:
- ELIM-I intervention resources
- Guidance handbooks
- Training videos for practitioners
- Frequently asked questions
- Guidance about printing the resources for use in practice
- Development reports and publications
The team behind ELIM-I also invites practitioners to join an ‘ELIM-I Community of Practice’ so they can share further ELIM-I work and hear about how practitioners are using the ELIM-I. Practitioners can sign up to this via the
Films to support ELIM-I
To support practitioners to deliver ELIM-I with families, we have developed a suite of videos to be used alongside
They demonstrate nine tips to parents/carers to help them to become 'super communicators' with their children.
The nine tips are:
Each of the tips has a number of different supporting videos that model the tip being used by parents/carers across different daily routines with their child. This helps parents/carers to understand the target behaviour and how they might apply the behaviour across different contexts.
The videos may be used with parents/carers across multiple sessions, or practitioners may choose to share a couple of them with parents/carers in one session to support understanding.
