Children and young people with speech, language, and communication needs (SLCN) have difficulty in communicating with others. This may be because they have difficulty -
- saying what they want to
- understanding what is being said to them
- understanding or use social rules of communication
Children and young people with neurodiverse needs, including Asperger’s Syndrome and Autism are likely to have particular difficulties with social interaction. They may also experience difficulties with language, communication, and imagination, which can impact on how they relate to others.
