ESCAN’s Paediatric Speech and Language Therapy service works closely with the charity ICAN.
ICAN’s experts work with children who have difficulty communicating to develop their skills to help them overcome any difficulties experienced in mainstream settings.
For children aged 0-5 years, ICAN operates four specialist nurseries within the Ealing borough. These are located at :
- St Johns Primary School
- Downe Manor Primary School
- Featherstone Primary School
- South Acton Children's Centre
ICAN also run an accredited school programme called Talk Boost that is being rolled out across primary schools in Ealing.
