1.1
There are many speech, language and communication needs of children.
Speech refers to saying sounds accurately and in the right places in words; the sounds people use to communicate words; speaking fluently, without hesitation or prolonging or repeating words and sounds and speaking with a clear voice, using pitch, volume and intonation to support meaning.
Language refers to speaking and understanding language- using words to build up sentences, conversation and longer stretches of spoken language. It also refers to understanding and making sense of what people say.
Communication refers to how we interact with others. Language is used to represent concepts and thoughts. Many children and young people communicate successfully using non-verbal means such as signing, gestures or electronic equipment.
From 0-5years, children use and respond to verbal communication, such as voice tone, sound patterns, repetition, naming familiar objects and rhyme. Non-Verbal communication is also used, for example eye contact, facial expressions, hand gestures and pointing.
From 5-11years, children use verbal communication such as storytelling, news, drama, anecdotes from personal experiences, social interactions, sustained conversations and opportunities to follow complex instructions.
From 11-16years, children and young people use discussion, check understanding, summarise, work well with parents/carers, show awareness of social networking and join social interactions.
From 16-19years, young people show active listening, can reflect back, can be non-judgemental, show empathy and understanding, share decisions and act appropriately within the boundaries set.
