ABSTRACT

The Social Communication Intervention Programme or SCIP is a communication intervention aimed at supporting children's needs in social communication, pragmatics, and high-level language processing. It is a specialist level intervention which is intended to be supervised by experienced speech-language practitioners. SCIP is aimed at children aged between 6 and 11 years of age.

The programme is presented in two books: the SCIP Manual containing the background rationale, therapy methods, and instructions for the programme, and the SCIP Resource which contains the intervention activities. For the most effective use, the SCIP Manual should be used alongside the SCIP Resource.
