We’re delighted to share that we’re joining forces with Pearson Australia to bring our assessments and interventions to schools in Australia and New Zealand.

National roll-out of Nuffield Early Language Intervention (NELI) in the UK boosted young children’s language skills by four months
A new independent evaluation of NELI found that children who took part in the program made on average four months’ additional progress in their language skills. It also found that socio-economically disadvantaged children made on average seven months’ additional progress as a result of receiving the program, suggesting that NELI could help to close the language development gap between these children and their peers.
