This would make it difficult for the service worker to communicate information to the service user. Learning disabilities can also affect a service user’s ability to communicate. While speaking to a Speech and language therapist, I learnt that service users with Semantic-pragmatic disorder find it difficult to effectively communicate with others.

This means that the service user cannot fully communicate their feelings and opinions and would struggle to convey what is wrong with them
Barriers to Effective Communication Language Barriers. Obviously, communication between people who do not speak the same language is a barrier. Even when communicating in the same language, accents and the terminology used may act as a barrier if it is not fully understood by the receiver. For example, a message that includes a lot of specialist jargon, abbreviations and/or regional expressions will not be understood by the receiver who is not familiar with the terminology used. It is also important to note that body language plays a large role in communication and may become a barrier, depending on a person’s perception.

These individuals are usually excluded from learning and development activities due to these disabilities.

“The inability to communicate creates potential conflict" When individuals are not capable to express their needs and desires to one another it ultimately results in conflict. Conflict is driven by the need to survive and propagate in a world of contrasting opinions. If individuals do not communicate and discuss about their problems than the likelihood of conflict arousing is inevitable. Consequently, as we read ‘The Secret River’ we realize that the main cause of the conflict between Sal and Thornhill is mainly because of Thornhill’s inability to tell Sal about the massacre and his part in it. Thornhill’s relationship with Sal is crucial to Kate Grenville’s discovery of how conflict can make or destroy an individual and how the inability

Dividing them discourages them from sharing information amongst each other and acts as a barrier in producing effective communication. Cultural barriers result from those of cultural differences.

Barriers to communications are those things that disrupt communication that is effective amongst people.
