2. Communication Disability: A communication disability encompasses a wide variety of problems in language, speech and hearing. Many communication disabilities result from conditions such as Intellectual disability, Cerebral palsy, Down’s syndrome, Autism. Below are some examples of difficulties experienced by children with a communication disability and how it impacts on their play skills: • Knowledge and use of the structure of language e.g. statements, questions, instructions, comments etc • Comprehension i.e. understanding of what is said to them • Understanding and using a range of vocabulary • Clarity of speech Difficulty joining in with other children’s games Difficulty initiating play with other children Communication disabilities can limit how a child interacts with other children in play. Difficulty in discussing or explaining own play Difficulty in discussing or explaining play of others During play sessions the child may have trouble being understood by other children and adults. This can limit her ability to: • Express desire for certain play materials and equipment • Express dislike of a play activity • Connect with the other children and adults

Comprehension Music can be used to enhance the understanding of language as songs often involve actions, creating a link between words and physical actions for the child. An excellent example is for Liam to hear the song “Heads and shoulders, knees and toes” and do the actions with his dad. Understanding and using a range of vocabulary When Jeff is asked what he wants to play with outside he always asks for the same thing ‘car’. He hasn’t yet categorized all the options under the heading of outside play activities. A choice system such as the one shown below helps him realize his options and ask for a different play activity.
