Finding this early isnt about helping the school but helping the child, they may have a special one on one to help them in the time of need to keep up with their class.

Adults can play alongside them to encourage them with their speech. Acting out and saying words that the child may copy. Books are a great way to help , they can choose a favorite book and read it together if a child sees the words and hears them a few times they may start saying these words. Nursery rhymes, songs and musical instruments are also good way to communicate. This can encourages children to listen, sing and also communicate in all different ways, this can be through using their hands to start off with and singing or even dancing, Chalk is a fun way, try drawing small pictures or writing small words on the playground for them to copy or getting them to write in sand is a great way too if you get a child that's struggling learning by a fun way is a great way that way they seem less flustered and stressed and more calm to try and learn when maybe they don't think they

A child with learning problems may be many developmental years behind their peers, this will have a big impact on what they can do in all areas of development including physical skills, social skills and intellectual skills. They may find it especially hard to interact with children of the same age or stay interested in conversation. They may also need to have one-to-one lessons at school to help educate them as they may not be at the same cognitive stage as peers. This may leave them feeling left out.
When communicating with babies and toddlers parents often use baby language I.e. choo choo for train and woof woof for dogs but this will not help them later on when the time comes to go to school, as they grow the need to be taught the proper words for things as it will make it more difficult when they start school and it will confuse them. In early years at school they concentrate on phonics, numeracy and literacy this helps them develop their language and mathematical skills and helps them for the rest of their school life. Each child has a different way of learning. The TA must be able to communicate with each child regardless of their learning abilities. Communication can differ among different ages and stages as the younger children may have difficulties such as speech problems which in older children this may have already been addressed.
If parents, teachers, and other professionals discover a child's learning disability early and provide the right kind of help, it can give the child a chance to develop skills needed to lead a successful and productive life. The LD online website provides a long list of characteristics that might indicate a learning disability between the ages of Kindergarten and high school. Some common signs of a learning disability that as a teacher we can look for in the classroom would be, a student speaks later than most children, pronunciation problems, slow vocabulary growth, student is often unable to find the right word, difficulty rhyming words, trouble learning numbers, alphabet, colors, and shapes, extremely restless and easily distracted, trouble interacting with peers, difficulty following directions or routines, and lastly the fine motor skills are slow to develop. Once the teacher or parents can understand what type of learning disability a child has they can help them succeed academically by providing instruction better and understanding the person
If you had a child in the nursery who had English as a second language, and knew few words, verbally communicating with this child wouldn’t be the first thing you would do. There are loads of different ways to do this for example; using picture cars with words, not only will this technique help communicate but also help build the childs English vocabulary. Another being demonstrating, for example; in an activity, lets say gluing and sticking, show the child what to do by demonstrating the activity for them to then copy your actions.
The vital thing is to be aware of their abilities and, as I have said above, be clear when communicating, keep in mind what the child is capable of. Speak at their level and with eye contact. Always encourage them to respond and answer questions, this will help with confidence. When they get something right, praise them and make them feel good, this will also give them confidence. Also if they get something wrong, or misbehave, explain what they have done wrong in a positive way and explain what they could do to make it right. Repeat things if necessary and ensure that the child has understood. Ask questions in a way that encourages children and young adults to answer in full sentences which shows that they have understood what is being asked.
Speech, language and communication difficulties can have a profound and lasting effect on children’s lives and development. These can affect their ability to communicate and interact with others. The impact of these difficulties will vary depending on the severity of the problems, the support they receive, the demands of the child’s environment
Analyse the importance of early identification of speech, language and communication delays and disorders and the potential risks of late recognition.
Different disabilities may affect development in different ways. However, with support from teachers and parents, these affects can be minimalised. A learning disability such as Dyslexia (a common type of learning difficulty that can cause problems with reading, writing and spelling) could lead to a child becoming frustrated which could further lead to behavioural issues. Moreover, without assistance, Dyslexia will allow for the child to become unmotivated and prove to be a hindrance to them as they look to strive in later life. Physical disabilities such as Cerebral Palsy (a neurological condition that effects movement and coordination) will affect development as children will have difficulties communicating, eating and drinking and with their
These children often mishear and mispronounce words and have difficulties reading and learning. For example, a child may seem to lack interest in storytelling or other activities that require listening and have a vocabulary lower than typical for their age, which also may seem like they are inattentive but could instead be symptoms of a hearing impairment if observed closely. Also children with hearing impairments may have problems with concentrating, which could cause tiredness and frustration that affects their behavior and often prefer to play alone. Additionally, you may notice they tend to say “what did you say” more or want the volume higher for music or television than others, they do not hear background noises and they could miss as much as half of what is being communicated, therefore they will have trouble responding to a teacher in large group situations. This child often fails to turn head or eyes in the direction of
Effective communication with others whether it be personal or professional is important because there is more power in our words than we often realize. Oftentimes when speaking with others we are trying to establish a rapport and build a relationship. Neither of those can be done and be of any importance or serve any purpose if you are unable to use your words and actions to let the other party know exactly what you mean. As students to move our academic careers forward it is critical to learn not only how to speak with your peers and instructor but how to also listen and use the feedback that is given in ways that can benefit you. Essentially communication is not just about speaking,
children who have such experience are likely to feel emotionally distress, embarrassed, and\or frustration about not being able to speak normally. they often suffer in silence and feel misunderstood by others. they may develop a negative attitude about themselves, such as feeling different, inadequate, disliked, and\or socially incompetent
Various theories and studies have investigated the way in which children with speech and language difficulties often have literacy problems such as learning disability. Different speculations and studies have explored that the reverse is also possible “children with literacy problems often have speech and language difficulties”. These present as delay in speech and language development, problems in word-finding, articulation, grammar, etc. (Snowling, 1987; Stackhouse, 1990).
Communication is an important aspect of life and experiences. When it comes to learning communication plays a major role due to the fact that it allows children to participate in active and interactive communication with classmates and school personnel, which facilitate the learning process. Communication disorders consist of various problems in hearing, speech, and language. As we all know, speech and language can impact children in many ways such as how they talk, gain understanding, evaluate, and process information. Children with communication disorders usually do poorly in school. They repeatedly struggle to read, they have problems expressing and understanding language and social cues. They may demonstrate poor judgment, have trouble with tests taking, and also may sometimes refuse to go to school.
