This session is the first of two which describe the skills and knowledge that underpin the understanding and production of spoken language and the challenges facing the young child as listener and speaker. This session focuses on the different channels and levels of speech and language processing, the cognitive skills that underpin speech, language and communication, and non-verbal aspects of communication.

Learning objectives

By the end of this session you will be able to:

  • Identify the different channels and levels of speech and language processing
  • Describe how non-verbal communication skills support verbal comprehension
  • Identify the cognitive skills that underpin the understanding, and production, of spoken language
  • Describe the additional challenges faced by the young child developing their language processing system

This session provides an introduction to the psychological processes and different types of knowledge involved in understanding and producing spoken language.

It will also explain terminology used by speech and language therapists (SLTs) and other professionals who work with children with SLC needs.
