Language Speech and Communication
SPEECH LANGUAGE AND COMMUNICATION
An explanation of :
* Communication can be either verbal or written. Communication can also be seen by facial expressions, gesture and body language. In addition to the words, messages are transferred by the tone and quality of voice and eye contact. * Speech is vocalised language; it cannot be written or signed. Different children progress with speech in different ways and different stages. Sometimes speech can be slurred or not pronounced in the correct manner. * Language can be spoken written or signed. The age and the pace at which a child reaches each milestone of language development vary greatly among children. Children begin by pointing at objects and saying one word such as ‘’ that’’ or the first few letters of the word. In general girls develop language at a faster rate than boys. More than any other aspect of development, language development reflects the growth of the brain. Children who find it hard to express themselves or who have a foreign language to the one that is being used find it hard to manage their behaviour. Because they can’t express themselves through language they can tend to be aggressive, throw tantrums, and have outbursts of anger for no explanation.
* Speech, language and communication needs
Specific difficulties that a child or young person may have that may relate to impairment, medical condition or an emotional problem. Communication impairment can be annoying and distressing for the child. People often get frustrated because they can’t explain how they feel. They experience a loss of confidence and self-esteem so it can affect them in life with personal and social relationships. Their disability could also reduce their opportunities in education and employment. Speech problems can appear when the child is young maybe because they are late in starting to talk or because people cannot understand them when they
Speak. This may also happen when the child goes into nursery
