Introduction[edit | edit source]
Communication skills are the vital component in every child development. They are a key part of every child's participation in social activities like playing with friends, talking at lunch or texting friends. Communication is made up of several different aspects which include producing sounds that can be heard by others, using symbols to communicate, and verbal and non-verbal movements, actions, or behaviours. Children with cerebral palsy may experience difficulties in speech intelligibility and/or in language and pragmatic abilities which affect their abilities to express their needs and wants, building relationships and learning language.[1] This article provide an overview of communication, speech and language assessment, and intervention for children with cerebral palsy.
Three Aspects of Communication[edit | edit source]
Speech[edit | edit source]
"Speech is the physical act of speaking by producing sounds that can be heard by others."[2]
- A speech disorder is a delay or difficulty in the way people produce sounds, words, phrases, or sentences and includes:
- speech sound disorders (articulation disorder or phonological disorder) are characterised by the child substituting one sound for another, leaving sounds out, adding sounds, or changing a sound.
- ankyloglossia or tongue-tie is a condition in which the tongue’s movement is restricted affecting speech clarity [3][4]
- orofacial apraxia is inability to carry out learned purposeful movement of the mouth or tongue muscles despite the presence of a good motor, sensory, or coordination function.
- dysarthria is poor speech intelligibility affecting child's communicative participation[5]
