Communication and interaction needs include children with speech, language and communication needs (SLCN), Autistic children, and all children who have difficulties in communicating with others.
Communication and interaction needs may be due to difficulties with attention and listening, expressive language (using verbal and non-verbal communication), receptive language (understanding verbal and written words), speech sounds, remembering and recalling information, or social communication skills.
Autistic children have distinctive learning and development needs. Autism affects the way a child communicates, interacts and experiences the world around them.
Providing a learning environment with a range of activities, opportunities, and experiences is critical within the first 1001 days of a child's life to support development, wellbeing, and promote language acquisition.
