Full Description
The Social Communication Intervention Programme (SCIP) is an evidence-based intervention developed to support school aged children (6-11 years) with persistent social communication, pragmatic and language needs. The Social Communication Intervention Programme Manual and Resource provide a theoretical rationale, method and over 150 activities for providing specialist level language intervention for these children.
The Social Communication Intervention Programme Manual introduces the SCIP model in which three main intervention components are defined: social understanding/social interpretation, pragmatics, and language processing. The Manual provides a theoretical rationale and a comprehensive set of instructions for a phased approach to intervention. It contains instructions on the full scope of intervention, from development of core pragmatics and social communication skills through to generalisation, including principles and therapy methods. Guidance on assessment and mapping assessment findings to individualised therapy aims is provided. A method of planning an individualised route through the intervention to match each child's needs is described. Evidence to support the use of SCIP in practice is included.
The Social Communication Intervention Programme Resource contains the full set of over 150 therapy activities arranged in a nested structure under each of the three main intervention components: social understanding/social interpretation, pragmatics, and language processing. The SCIP Planning and Record Form and Information sheets for each Section are provided. The materials needed for work on generalisation are also included. Content can also be downloaded and printed for easy use.
