Communication and Interaction

Communication and Interaction is one of 4 broad areas of need that is used when identifying and supporting individual difficulties in children. 

The difficulties a child may experience are:

• struggling to pronounce words correctly
• difficulty in understanding or following instructions
• challenges when interacting with peers
• struggling to form sentences
• difficulty understanding social rules when communcating 

These are just a few areas in which a child may struggle with communication and interaction. In order to support with this, school will make a referral to the speech and language therapist who will then assess and the provide a programme of support for each invidual child.
