10      There is a moderate functional impact on communication in the person's main language.

            (1) At least one of the following applies:

                 (a) the person:

                      (i) has moderate difficulty understanding day-to-day language, particularly where a sentence or instruction includes multiple steps or concepts such as 'Please take this book out to Jane at the front desk and ask her to give you some paper clips and bring them back in here'; or

                      (ii) may need instructions repeated or broken down into shorter sentences; or

                 (b) the person has moderate difficulty in producing speech, difficulty coordinating speech movements or damage to speech structures arising from, for example a stutter or stammer, or vocal cord, larynx damage, which makes speech effortful, slow or sometimes difficult for unfamiliar people to understand; or

                 (c) the person uses alternative or augmentative communication such as sign language, technology that produces electronic speech, use of symbols to communicate and has moderate difficulty speaking clearly and may be partially reliant on a recognised sign language such as Auslan or signed English or other non‑verbal communication methods.
