hope this helps it from the web site i used for language tasks.
Speech, language and communication are crucial to every child’s ability to
succeed in life. The ability to communicate is an essential life skill for all children
and young people and it underpins a child’s social, emotional and educational
development
. It is a key skill in future employment opportunities and defines who
we are and how others perceive us.

Diagnosing problems in speech, language or communication is important to a child’s development as it could affect their overall behaviour at school or home. If the problem is picked up early enough then teachers, TA’s (teaching assistants) or Senco’s can intervene. It could affect early school life as a child may not be able to socialise or make friends for fear that they will be bullied or ostracised by other children. As a child grows older late diagnosis could affect their academic abilities as well as feeling like a social outcast. A hearing impairment or speech impediment may make it hard for a person to communicate; therefore it is crucial that other forms of communication are established i.e. sign language. If interventions and help are set in place early enough then the person will receive the correct guidance and support. This allows agencies or the people involved to ensure the child/young person is reaching their developmental targets and promote positive results for their language and communication

Good luck with the course
