- Communication
is
information shared through the exchange of both verbal and non-verbal
messages in a purposeful way. We communicate for a variety of reasons.
- three principal
sources of communication difficulties
damage
to the communication areas of the brain
damage
to the cognitive areas of the brain
damage
to the brain's frontal lobe causing social communication deficits
- The main types
of communication disorders are:
- Dysphasia:
an
acquired impairment of language processes caused by damage to
the receptive and expressive language areas of the brain.
- Dysarthria:
a speech disorder caused by a disturbance of control
of the muscles that produce speech sounds.
- Dyspraxia:
an impairment in the ability to coordinate and sequence
muscle movements involved in speech.
- Complete
lack of verbal communication, in which case the person must use
non-verbal gestures
- Cognitive
deficits can
affect a persons ability to communicate without directly affecting
their ability to produce language
- Social
communication deficits involve a person having difficulty following the social
rules and conventions of communication
- There are strategies
you can use to both help the person's expression and understanding
on language
