Introduction[edit | edit source]

Motor problems in children often co-occur with communication problems. Up to 81% of children with mild to moderate functional mobility limitations are diagnosed with communication problems. This article will discuss how and why the child communicates, analyse parents' behaviour and communication style.  Additionally, the article will offer basic communication strategies the parents can immediately utilise in everyday routines.

Identifying Parent and Child Communication Styles[edit | edit source]

Identifying How Children Communicate[edit | edit source]

Children have different communication strategies starting from infancy to the age when they become verbal.

Infancy[edit | edit source]

  • Non-verbal communication
    • eye-gaze
    • smile
    • pointing,
    • some noises that they might make,
    • grabbing
    • crying
  • Stimulus–response relations (12 months of age)[1]
    • gazes at the mother to search for cues
    • critical for an infant learning gestural communication
    • absence of sustained infant eye contact with caregivers may indicate that the infant may have language delay [1]
  • Joint attention (9-12 months of age)
    • "infant’s ability to make eye contact with another individual, shift her gaze to some stimuli and regain eye contact with the same caregiver."[1]
    • helps in the early learning of language skills including naming. Provides a basis for cognitive development and social referencing.[1]
