Speech: Speaking with a clear voice, in a way that makes speech interesting and meaningful
Speaking without hesitating too much or without repeating words or sounds
Being able to make sounds like ‘k’ and ‘t’ clearly so people can understand what you say
 
Language: Knowing and choosing the right words to explain what you mean
Joining words together into sentences, stories and conversations
Making sense of what people say
 

Communication: Using language or gestures in different ways, for example to have a conversation or to give someone directions
Being able to consider other people’s point of view
Using and understanding body language and facial expressions, such as:
                          - Knowing when someone is bored

                          - Being able to listen to and look at people when having a conversation

                          - Knowing how to take turns and to listen as well as talk

                          - Knowing how close to stand next to someone

 

What are speech, language and communication needs?

Difficulty in communicating with others
Difficulties saying what they want to
Difficulty in understanding what is being said to them
Difficulties understanding and using social rules
Speech, language and communication needs can occur on their own without any other developmental needs, or be part of another condition such as general learning difficulties, autism spectrum disorders or attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.

For many children, difficulties will resolve naturally when they experience good communication-rich environments. Others will need a little extra support from you. However, some may need longer term speech and language therapy support.
