This makes it difficult for them to communicate with other effectively. Autism can also affect a person's ability to use and understand nonverbal communication. Autistic children that can speak often say things that don’t make sense or excessively repeat words that they’ve heard. Speech-language pathologists can help autistic children by creating comprehensive plans to find the best way they communicate. ]]> 2018-02-13 16:50:41 UTC https://padlet.com/robynzebedee/5xf7kssmulxt/wish/231141219 robynzebedee https://padlet.com/robynzebedee/5xf7kssmulxt/wish/231511488 Stuttering is not a psychological problem and is not something that can be cured. Stuttering does not affect a child's intelligence, but does affect how they learn and communicate. The most effective way to help students who stutter is allow them to speak and be patient with them. It is important that children who stutter feel safe and accepted in the classroom. Instead of pointing out their speech difficulties, teachers should treat stuttering students just like every other student, just with more patience. Some children who stutter do not stutter all the time, while others have a constant stutter. It's important to always treat these students equally.]]> 2018-02-14 14:53:57 UTC https://padlet.com/robynzebedee/5xf7kssmulxt/wish/231511488 robynzebedee https://padlet.com/robynzebedee/5xf7kssmulxt/wish/231518195 Childhood onset fluency disorder (stuttering)- Disruption in the flow of speech such repetitions of sounds of speech, hesitations before or during speech, and prolongations of speech sounds.

Speech-language pathologists work with teachers to ensure that children with communication disorders succeed in the classroom. They provide speech and language assessments and set up attainable communication goals for the child. As a teacher, it is vital to help these children become effective communicators in the way that makes them most comfortable. Instead of avoiding speech and language, teachers need to encourage the child to speak, read, and write in order to advance their language skills. Individual or small groups may help the child feel more comfortable when practicing their speech and language skills. ]]> 2018-02-14 15:27:30 UTC https://padlet.com/robynzebedee/5xf7kssmulxt/wish/231534111 robynzebedee https://padlet.com/robynzebedee/5xf7kssmulxt/wish/231538902 As a teacher I will accommodate students with communication disorders by actively communicating with the students speech-language pathologist and/or parents to ensure that I understand the goals and skills I need to be helping the student with.
