Language acquisition is the cognitive process where humans acquire the ability to perceive and comprehend language, as well as to produce and use words and sentences to communicate with one another (Friederici 2011). It is known that as physical development occurs in infants, the voice box dropping down, enhanced control of tongue muscles and the ability to hear, language development and acquisition occurs (BBC, 1998). Also, cognitive development is related to language development, where the inner processes such as remembering, reasoning, problem solving and creating are forming mental activity that leads to the ‘knowing’ (Berk, 2013). Children build on these developmental processes with physical movement and touch, gathering perceptions of the world using all the sense organs (Berk, 2013). Piaget and Vygotsky both identified the most important source of cognition is the child itself.
Augmentative communication is a way to help with language disorders. Assistive technology devices such as computers or hand held devices should be used to accomplish augmentative communication. This will allow the children to communicate their needs. Verbal communication consists of vocabulary which means the use of the words and expressions that can be understood. The children can respond to questions accordingly to the tone of the voice.
Unit 28 – Introductory Awareness of Autistic Spectrum Conditions 1. - Types of difficulty that individuals with an autistic spectrum condition may have with language and other ways of communicating with others. There are various difficulties with language amongst individuals with autism. Some individuals are non-verbal, and have to rely on alternative forms of communication such as Makaton or PECs symbols. These methods of communication can be useful for building vocabularies of individuals with limited speech.

So they can be asking for something but the words mean something else and communication could be difficult when talking to the individual. People with dysarthria have trouble making certain sounds or words. Their speech is poorly pronounced (such as slurring), and the rhythm or speed of their speech changes. Other symptoms
Children with learning difficulties will need extra support with certain areas of development and may develop a low self-esteem because they get annoyed with themselves for not being able to do something, such as a simple numeracy problem, or read a book. If a child has sensory impairment, a hearing problem this would influence their development, it could affect their speech and communication and may make them feel they are unable to join in with
Allowing students to work in groups with magnetic words that are good words for similes and metaphors that students can choose from to help them in sentence assembly and improvement could be fun and educational. .2What methods can James use to check for comprehension once the lesson is
Language can be defined as verbal, physical and biologically innate. Behaviourists often define language as a learning behaviour including a stimulus and response. There are varying theories on language development. Chomsky (1959) believed that children are born with specific linguistic knowledge and an inherited ability to learn any human language. He stated all children needed was a trigger to this pre-programmed ability to learn language as the brain was pre wired for language.
There are interrelated components of intellectual development which are: • Perception • Thinking • Language • Problem-solving • Concepts • Memory • Concentration • Creativity Communication Development: This area develops the ability of the child to understand and use of the language. Learn to communicate with others, as language is the key factor in all aspects of child’s development. It is the
