Hi, this is my last assignment and I am completely stuck. Can anybody help please!?

Write a brief summary that considers the interaction between delayed language acquisition, cognitive development and sensory deficit.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks! ☺️

Hi, a warm welcome to the site. This thread may help http://www.silkysteps.com/forum/showthread.php?t=17258 alongside the research you did for 1.1 and 1.2

Being an optional unit it doesn't appear in the newer STL handbook however the unit still links to the older NVQ where pages 317+ of this book - amazon.co.uk examines what you need & once you have that information you'll be able to write a summary of what you know xx

Open this link to google books then click to page 318




Unit 39 Support children with communication and interaction needs
Pupils with severe and/or complex special educational needs arising from one or more of the following:

• speech and language delay, impairments or disorders
• specific learning difficulties, eg. dyslexia, dyspraxia
• autistic spectrum disorder
• permanent sensory or physical impairment including deafblindness, deafness and visual impairment
• moderate, severe or profound learning difficulties affecting their ability to communicate and interact with others

This publication from I Can Talk issue 6 is also useful - speech language and communication needs and primary school-aged children


Hope this helps xx
