This booklet is designed for interacting with children aged between 11 months and 30 months. If you would like more information, talk to a Maternal and Child Health Nurse.
Young children are constantly learning. They learn from interactions with other people. If a child has difficulties with their social attention, interaction and communication skills, their ability to learn from others is affected.
Social attention, interaction and communication difficulties can include reduced, infrequent, or inconsistent:
- eye contact
- response to name
- pointing to ‘show’, following gaze
- waving, clapping and other gestures
- copying others
- pretend play
- showing toys to others
- shared smiles
- sharing emotions.
- Every child is different.
Using simple and effective strategies matched to their interests and learning style can help them to develop communication and social skills.
