Visual Activities and difficulties with Speech

Remember, disability is a highly individualised experience. People with the same disability may have very different capabilities and/or needs, so it is always best to discuss any adaptations to practice, the environment or equipment directly with the disabled person themselves rather than making assumptions about what adjustments may be suitable.

Many skills are required for speech and language to effectively develop, and there are many ways in which speech development can go wrong. Some people may have difficulty in moving the muscles that control speech; others can't understand how a conversation works or the meaning of a sentence. Some people can't understand or use language whatsoever.

For people with these sorts of difficulties presenting learning activities in a visual format can make a huge difference to their ability to engage effectively with a course..

Difficulties associated specifically with speech are unlikely to have a significant impact on visual learning activities.
