Key Takeaways:

  1. The inability to communicate doesn’t mean the inability to have thoughts and feelings.
  2. Misbehaviour can be caused by difficulty in communication.
  3. Speak to your child in complete sentences, with proper terminology.

It is important to remember that a child’s inability to communicate doesn’t mean the child doesn’t have feelings or thoughts they would like to share and express with the world around them. This inability to reach out to people can discourage anybody, thus hampering the need to express their thoughts. It is important for parents to constantly engage in constant communication with children who have speech challenges. Therapy is crucial but constant communication even during daily activities is essential for the child. In this video, Clinical Psychologist and Dyslexia Therapist, Afshan Jabeen urges parents to use complete sentences and not restrict their interaction to gestures when speaking to their children. Opening a line of communication will help build vocabulary, language and tap into the inherent ability to communicate that is present in every child irrespective of their developmental challenges.
