The 4-Step Blueprint Reducing Speech Waiting Lists

1. Train + Build Confidence

Upskill TAs and SENCos through bite-sized, digital modules designed by clinical SaLTs to safely deliver low-level support.

2. Screen + Identify

Use our screening tools to identify mild or moderate SLCN from complex cases requiring immediate specialist referral.

3. Deliver + Support

TAs use the Brightspeech app as a digital co-pilot to run daily 10-minute micro-interventions using interactive, pre-built exercises with no prep needed. Share resources with parents and carers to continue support at home.

4. Track + Escalate

Real-time data logs learner progress. Children either catch up or generate a detailed data report to fast-track their specialist NHS referral and ISPs/ECHPs.

Built for the UK SEND & AP Improvement Plan

The UK Government’s reforms mandate early, targeted intervention in mainstream schools to reduce EHCP pressure and shorten assessment waiting times. Our 4-step framework was engineered specifically for this shift:
National Inclusion Standards:

Step 1 

 Upskill your existing school workforce with CPD accredited clinical training.

Targeted Mainstream Support:
Steps 2 – 3
 Deliver instant, app guided Tier 1 & 2 interventions inside the classroom.
Robust Triage & Data Integrity: Step 4 Generate audit ready evidence Local Authorities require to fast track Tier 3 specialist referrals.

Deliver national SEND priorities today, without adding to teacher workload.

“We didn’t react to the SEND reforms; we anticipated them. Our framework gives SENCOs and Headteachers the exact operational blueprint required to meet National Inclusion Standards today, rather than waiting for lengthy rollouts, so schools can start supporting the children who need it now.”
