Communication and interaction needs (C&I) affect a person’s ability to understand, process, and express language, as well as engage in social interactions. These needs can present in various ways, including difficulty with speech, understanding language, using non-verbal communication, or forming relationships with others.
Students with C&I needs may experience challenges related to speech and language disorders, autism spectrum conditions, or social communication difficulties. They may struggle to follow conversations, interpret social cues, or express their thoughts effectively.
At YES@ Areté Learning Trust, we provide specialist support and strategies to help students develop their communication skills, build confidence, and navigate social interactions successfully.
