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 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.
Things they like and dislike. 6.3 Explain why an individual with learning disabilities may face additional barriers when accessing healthcare services An individual with learning disabilities may face additional barriers when accessing healthcare because they face problems within the community that someone without a learning disability can easily overcome. People with learning disabilities often have other health conditions such as hearing or sight problems. This can create barriers when accessing healthcare because they cannot interact with the environment like someone whose hearing and sight are not a problem. People with learning disabilities often have confidence issues and it can feel very daunting when required to access the community independently.
Explain what is meant by the term dysarthria. Dysarthria is a disorder of speech 3. Describe the communication challenges presented to the individual and self by dysphasia and dysarthria. People with dysphasia often have language that is fluent with a normal rhythm and articulation but it is meaningless as they fail to comprehend what they are saying because they have problems word finding. So they can be asking for something but the words mean something else and communication could be difficult when talking to the individual.
UNIT 4222-253 INTRODUCTORY AWARENESS OF AUTISTIC SPECTRUM CONDITIONS (LD210) OUTCOME 1 People with an Autistic Spectrum Condition (ASC) have difficulties with both verbal and non-verbal communication. They have a very literal interpretation and think people mean exactly what they say, they have difficulty understanding facial expressions and tone of voice, jokes and sarcasm and common phrases for example if you said “my feet are killing me” they probably would think they actually were. They lack empathy and don't understand unwritten social rules and they have difficulty understanding body language. Individuals with an autistic spectrum condition have difficulty with social communication, social integration and social imagination. Some may not be able to speak or have fairly limited speech, whilst other will have good language skills but not understand the give-and-take nature of speech and will often talk at length about themselves and their own interests.
Often people's voices are not heard because they speak in ways that take quite a lot of effort to listen to properly. This can include having speech impediments, limited vocabulary, finding it difficult to organise thoughts into coherent order, forgetting what you wanted to say, or getting frustrated and angry. Of course it is also true that some professionals simply don't listen properly. In either case an advocate will help people to prepare and deliver a coherent statement of their needs or wishes, and being there with their partner also encourages other people to respond appropriately. Afterwards the advocate can also help their partner to remember what was said and to plan what to do
When the neurons get damaged and no longer function efficiently the resulting limitations differ, depending on which side of the brain is damaged. The right side of the brain will cause problems understanding things, and recognizing people and things. Damage in the left side of the brain has been seen to cause by depression, and problems with speech. 1.4 How other factors can cause changes in an individual’s condition that may not be attributable to dementia A variety of
For example, communicating with people with special needs requires a lot of patience and understanding of the condition they are in, which can be difficult for many people. Also, catering for special needs (like employing people who can use sign language; using Braille; wheelchair access ramps and installing disabled toilets.) can be expensive, which is sometimes a problem for certain health and social care settings that cannot afford this. In addition, there is also the problem of not everyone being able to understand certain special needs communications, which can make communication difficult. Finally, sometimes having advocates or carers can be a problem if the person addressing the special needs person talks to their advocate rather than them.
Mr. Ford: Though Mr. Ford suffers from stroke and has to struggle to get speech out, most of his handicaps centered on grammar itself. For example, he continuously makes grammatical errors and can’t structure complete sentences. However, he doesn’t lose the other abilities which are not closely related to language and he does as well as normal people in nonverbal areas. Therefore, it can be demonstrated that language is an instinct in that in a certain part of our brain, there are some genes and neurons that control the language ability. Even if this part is destroyed, the other part can still in normal operation.
If something is going on in the background of a conversation, and the noise is at the same frequency as the message we are trying to receive, it makes listening very difficult (Adler and Proctor 239). It also makes it difficult to pick up on important signals coming from the background. For many communicators, hearing is even more difficult due to physiological problems (Adler and Proctor 239). More than 22 million people communicate with some degree of hearing impairment, and that is in the United States alone (Adler and Proctor 239). My dad, for example, experiences increased difficulties hearing my mother and me, as he gets older.
