If a child has speech, language and communication difficulties, it would have an impact on their development currently because they may not follow the expected pattern of development for their communication. The child may find it difficult to communicate with their carers and peers and they may become frustrated and show negative behaviour. The children may have social problems because they may struggle to communicate with their peers and their peers may find it hard to understand them, which could leave the child feeling upset and cause a low self esteem. This could also effect their behaviour by showing through anger and frustration e.g. lashing out at their peers. They may not want to join in with certain activities which could currently and in the long term cause a lack of confidence. The child may want to play on their own because others don’t understand them which will effect their social development. In the long term it can cause continued communication problems. When the child reaches a school age they may be bullied which gives children low self esteem. Also, it can cause behavioural problems such as when children have ADHD.
