The funding will be available for health boards and specialist centres to continue to address speech, language and communication needs, and will enable SLC therapists and practitioners to respond to local demands and needs.  

  

The additional funding for 2021\-22 follows COVID recovery funding provided in 2020 to address speech, language and communication needs during the pandemic.  

  

The focus for the funding will be on early years (0 \- 4 years 11 months) and will include:


* Funding for digital and physical resources and for IT for a range of uses including remote sessions
* Training and development for SLC practitioners and childcare workers to identify speech, language and communication needs early on
* Funding for It Takes Two to Talk parent workbooks for all main libraries in Wales

> I’m delighted to announce this additional funding for speech, language and communication needs.  We are committed to ensuring that children from all backgrounds have the best start in life and are able to reach their full potential, and we know that the early years are an important time in a child’s development. It is at this time that children develop speech, language, communication and oracy skills which underpin their ability to read, write and problem solve.

Jayne Hitchings, Speech and Language Therapist at Cardiff \& Vale University Health Board said:



> At a time when families have faced huge challenges, being able to access quality support to promote language development will continue to make a real difference to both children and their families. Additional funding in 2020 enabled us to offer our Children’s Speech and Language Therapists training in advanced clinical decision making, enabling them to support children and families in the most effective way possible.

Bydd yr arian ar gael i fyrddau iechyd a chanolfannau arbenigol iddynt allu helpu plant ag anghenion lleferydd, iaith a chyfathrebu (SLC) ac i therapyddion ac ymarferwyr iddynt allu ymateb i anghenion a gofynion lleol.  

  

Mae’r arian ychwanegol hwn ar gyfer 2021\-22 yn dilyn yr arian adfer COVID a ddarparwyd yn 2020 i ddelio ag anghenion SLC yn ystod y pandemig.  

  

Bydd yr arian yn canolbwyntio ar y blynyddoedd cynnar (0 – 4 blwydd 11 mis oed) ac yn cynnwys:


* Talu am adnoddau digidol a ffisegol ac ar gyfer TG at amrywiaeth o ddibenion gan gynnwys sesiynau o bell.
* Hyfforddi a datblygu ymarferwyr SLC a gweithwyr gofal plant i adnabod anghenion SLC yn fuan
* Talu am gael y llawlyfr i rieni It Takes Two to Talk i holl brif lyfrgelloedd Cymru

> Mae’n bleser gen i gyhoeddi’r arian ychwanegol hwn ar gyfer lleferydd, iaith a chyfathrebu.  Rydyn ni wedi ymrwymo i sicrhau bod plant o bob cefndir yn cael y dechrau gorau posibl yn eu bywyd a’u bod yn gwireddu’u potensial.  Rydyn ni’n gwybod bod y blynyddoedd cynnar yn allweddol i ddatblygiad pob plentyn. Dyma’r adeg pan fydd plentyn yn datblygu sgiliau lleferydd, iaith, cyfathrebu a llafaredd – sgiliau hanfodol ar gyfer darllen, sgrifennu a datrys problemau.

Dywedodd Jayne Hitchings, Therapydd Iaith a Lleferydd ym Mwrdd Iechyd Prifysgol Caerdydd a’r Fro:



> A theuluoedd wedi gorfod wynebu heriau anferth, bydd gallu manteisio ar gymorth o’r ansawdd uchaf i helpu i ddatblygu iaith plant yn gwneud gwahaniaeth go iawn i blant a’u teuluoedd.  Diolch i’r arian ychwanegol yn 2020, gwnaethon ni hyfforddi Therapyddion Iaith a Lleferydd Plant ynghylch sut i wneud penderfyniadau clinigol uwch, iddynt allu helpu plant a’u teuluoedd yn y ffordd fwyaf effeithiol posibl.
