About The Balanced System® framework
The Balanced System® framework is a way of making sure that in a setting, school or local area, the right provisions are available for parents, carers and professionals to help children and young people develop their speech, language and communication.
The framework is organised in five strands or themes and across three levels. All of these are important to get the whole system working at its best. To find out more, choose parents and carers, or professionals, to follow the best journey for you.
