Communication and interaction

Supporting children and young people with additional speech, language, social communication or interaction needs.

Have you checked out our mainstream classroom guide (Ordinarily Available Inclusive Practice) for communication and interaction?

Communication and interaction difficulties are often considered under two different areas:

speech, language and communication
social communication.

Although a child or young person may experience both difficulties at the same time, this section of the toolkit has been divided into these two main areas for ease of use.

Speech, language and communication needs

For difficulties with clear speech, finding words, understanding what others say, communication social rules and fluency difficulties.

Social communication needs

For difficulties with social interaction and relationships, social communication, social understanding, flexible thinking and sensory processing differences.
