It means recognising how children behave when they do not understand what is being said to them, eg if they can not hear properly or if they are EAL children they may display frustration
or if they cannot make themselves understood by others, eg if they have speach delay or are EAL children they may show a reluctance to speak, their self confidence and self esteem will suffer and their social skills will not develop properly
and how you respond to such behaviours, eg sensitively trying to help the child overcome the communication difficulty eg by using sign language, visual clues and actions, lip reading, buddying up children who speak the same language etc.....
