Communication and Intellectual development
Communication and Intellectual developments are closely linked together as a child requires the language in order to think and learn. If they have limited interaction and experiences from others there learning and development may be affected and slow down compared to other children. Some children have speech and language difficulties, this leading to additional help being needed. Intellectual Development depends on the opportunity given to a child from an early age. It is important to understand that all children learn in different stages. A task one child may be able to do; another may struggle at, due to the individual’s strengths and abilities.
Social, Emotional and Behavioural Development
