Individual’s self-esteem can be low, and their body language may be closed or negative, this can make communication difficult with an individual whom is distressed because you may not get any feed back from them, or you may not get a change to talk or be listened to to help them. The individual may even talk a different language or revert back to their mother tongue, which can cause a communication barrier. Also if the individual has a learning disability they may not understand how/why they are feeling, or may not know how to express it. 1.4 Explain how working with an individual who is distressed may impact on own well-being. Working with a person whom is distressed can also be distressing for the person caring and comforting
1.1 describe the types of difficulty that individuals with an autistic spectrum condition may have with language and other ways of communicating with others The communication difficulties of autism vary from individual to individual. Some individual maybe unable to communicate verbally whilst others have an extreme vocab and are able to discuss un-depth areas of interest to them, some are able to communicate their needs and are able to express themselves whilst others need more visual methods such as pec’s or makaton. Expression of their needs can be very frustrating and they can only communicate this by shouting or screaming/challenging behaviours including self-harm. Individuals with ASD sometimes find it difficult or are unable to understand
Some signs to look for in a child’s behaviour is if the child is overly shy, or fearful, or maybe afraid of doing something wrong. Another warning would be a child showing wrong age behaviour, which means an older child showing signs of behaviour that are usually found in younger children. Physical abuse is deliberate use of physical force or violence to hurt or injure a child. It may include slapping, punching, pulling hair, hitting etc. some of the signs and symptoms of physical abuse are bruises in places that would not be related with a child falling over accidentally, these may happen frequently.
Common problems are lack of eye contact, poor attention, being able to point objects to others, and difficulty with the 'give and take' in normal conversation. Some speak only single words, while others repeat a mimicked phrase over and over The body language of people with autism can be difficult for other people to understand. Facial expressions, movements, and gestures may be easily understood by some other people with autism, but do not match those used by other people. Also, their tone of voice has a much more subtle inflection in reflecting their feelings, and the auditory system of a person without autism often cannot sense the fluctuations. 1.2 Identify problems that individuals with an autistic spectrum condition may havein social interaction and relantionships Communication difficulties may contribute to autistic people becoming socially anxious or depressed or prone to self-injurious behaviours.
It may also be because the child has committed an offence. Some possible causes in behaviour which might lead to problems for children, young people and their families may include stress, anxiety and depression. Many children suffer from stress, leading to poor school performance and emotional and behavioural problems. Stress may be the result of an unstable home life or feeling of being unloved. Their parents may not have the skills for bringing up children, or the child feels the demands for achievement and success are unrealistic.
To be classified as ODD, the behaviour also has to have caused a significant degree of disturbance to home, social or school life. How does it cause problems For parents, having a child with ODD can be very difficult. ODD children can vary from being mildly oppositional to always being hostile. A child with ODD will: deliberately take the most difficult
This proposes that children have a very difficult time to see things from other person’s point of view. How their own or the others behaviour could cause something else. When a person is having a conversation, we use or analyse the context and behaviour of the other to understand the meaning of what they are trying to say. We also put ourselves in their position, which is very difficult for children with autism. They can’t comprehend that others might have different sort of beliefs other than
This stage is where a child must learn and accept what is and is not allowed and that some of the things that are not allowed could result in a punishment. When children are given the opportunity to use their initiative, for example, by making up a game, greater feelings of security are introduced with their ability to lead others and their sense of initiative is boosted. A dismissive or over controlling attitude or criticism from a carer could cause the child to become under the impression that they are a nuisance to others, making them feel embarrassed and causing them to lack self initiative. During this stage, children tend to ask many questions as they exercise interest and become more curious about their world. If negative responses towards the child’s questions are shown from the parents or carer, then the child may begin to develop feelings of guilt for showing an interest.
Barriers that can affect a one to one interaction One of the main things that can affect the one to one interaction is uncontrollable background noise which cannot be controlled. The noise would cause the distractions as you would be trying to concentrate on the things that are going on around you instead of concentrating on the person that you are talking to, causing not to know what is going. Another thing can affect communication is that nerves, someone being nerves can cause them to lose concentration especially if do something like giggle or start to mix up their words when they are nervous this can cause them to not maintain a professional manner. A different barrier is when they are other people watching who are not in the conversation watching, this could make you feel as if you are being judged which can make you uncomfortable and may make you rush what you’re saying which can lead you to not say everything that is needed to be said. Barriers that can affect a group interaction A barrier could be that people could be interrupting when other people are trying to speak meaning that you may sometimes have to start what you are saying again and it could just make the whole conversation seem longer than it was and could frustrate other people.
In addition social intimidation can lead to fear among children. They fear seeing the bully and getting picked on, or in a more serious case physically abused. Some children are even intimidated into secrecy. They may also keep quite because they feel embarrassed that they allowed this to happen to them. They may fear that their parents will either criticize them or that their parents will intervene and just make the situation worse.
