The instructions contained in this booklet will enable you to train a child or a teenager who can not speak clearly so you can communicate.
A child, a girl or a teenager who has difficulty speaking clearly can also have difficulty moving their arms and legs.
You may have trouble moving your mouth, tongue, face and head. For this reason, he has difficulty pronouncing the words clearly.
Most children or adolescents who have this disability can hear, hear and learn the words used when speaking, but can not say them clearly.
Talk to the child, the girl or the teenager you train, as often as possible. Do this even if the child, the girl or the teenager can not say a word. This will help you understand what happens at home and in the community.
This disability is very common among infants, very young children or girls. A teenager who has this disability may have had it from a very young age.
A child, a girl or a teenager who can not talk to other people can feel isolated from the rest of the family and from other people in the community. You can hear what other people say, but you can not tell them what you think, feel or need.
Sometimes, the child, the girl or the adolescent may try to express their thoughts. If other people do not understand you, you may feel sad, disappointed or angry.
Sometimes, he will not try to talk, because he thinks that other people will never understand him. You can help the child, the girl or the adolescent by trying to figure out if he can learn to speak in a clearer way than he does now.
Encourage him to communicate in any way that allows him to express his needs and feelings. Perhaps the child, the girl or the adolescent can express himself with the movements of his face, his hands or his body. Maybe I can also use drawings to communicate.
