Introductory awareness of autistic spectrum conditions 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 different types of Autism in the autistic spectrum are: * social interactions (ie people with autism would often find it difficult to understand others' mental states and emotions, and respond accordingly) * verbal and non-verbal communication The sort of problems that adults with Autism may have include one or more of the following: * Not being able to express themselves well. * Not being able to understand gestures, facial expressions, or tone of voice. * Saying odd things. For example, repeating your words back to you, time and time again.

The right side of the brain will cause problems understanding things, and recognizing people and things.

Unit 34 - Introductory Awareness of Sensory Loss 1-1.1 Many factors could be impacted by sensory loss. Mobility could be impared, for example, someone with sight or hearing loss (or both) may not want to walk outside, or use public trasport. A deaf or deaf blind person may find it difficult to communicate, making it hard to socialise and new relationships. They might also find it hard to get information about things, eg. trasport, appointments, benefits etc.
SS0P22 – COMMUNICATION DENNY MORGAN-WORLEY 1.1 There are many ways to communicate with individuals with sensory loss. For individuals who suffer from a lack or loss of hearing, visual sign language can be used, and for individuals who do not understand sign language a support worker can use word, suggestion or prompt cards so that an individual can make there needs known. For individuals who still have the capacity to write in understandable form, this too will be a good way for a support worker and service user to effectively communicate with each other. For individuals with a lack of vision, clear and audible language can be used as well as deafblind sign for those who know it. Forms of makaton can also be used for individual who suffer from these sensory loses.
The negative side of sensory loss is that they may find it hard to feed themselves, dressing themselves and that their mobility may deteariate. Also, hobbies and interests can have a negative impact on their lives. Some people may also feel alone and scared due to sensory loss. There is support for the deaf and blind to give them a better outlook on life. 1.4 Steps that can be taken to overcome the negative factors could be that you make sure all areas are clear of obstacles so therefore an individual with eye sight impairment might fall over or fall into.
If unable to communicate they would be denied these rights. Depending on the area of care in which we work, we may be dealing with a certain group of people with similar communication needs, for example: learning disabilities, dementia, deaf, blind, stroke etc. Groups, individuals and the type of communication needs they may require: Sensory disabilities Disabilities which affect an individual’s senses, and in turn affect communication, include hearing loss and sight loss. These are the two main senses on which humans rely to interact with their environment. Without sight or hearing (or indeed both) communication will be affected and alternative methods will need to be used.
Introduction The Legal Framework for the category of Auditory Impairment consists of both deaf and hard of hearing. The Individuals with Disabilities Education Improvement Act of 2004 (IDEIA), defines these terms separately. Hearing impairment is defined by IDEA as, “an impairment in hearing, whether permanent or fluctuating, that adversely affects a child’s educational performance”; and deafness is defined as “a hearing impairment that is so severe that the child is impaired in processing linguistic information through hearing, with or without amplification” (NICHCY, 2013). Characteristics of auditory impairments will depend on both the hearing loss and its severity. Students with auditory impairments may have limitations of communication and language skills, academic achievement, and social and emotional functioning.
