There can be talking/verbal communication and non-talking/non-verbal communication. To communicate effectively you must: * Be extremely clear about what you want to say * Be sure that the other person is understanding what you are saying to them * Try and consider the other child/adult’s point of view as well * Have a rapport with the child/adult that you are communicating with The clearer the information given, the more likely that it is that the other person will understand your point of view. If unsure on the best way to communicate, support should always be given as it’s not always easy.
