ABSTRACT

Opportunities for successful, enjoyable and spontaneous communication are often taken entirely for granted. It is only when one is trapped in a situation where communication falters or fails altogether that one gets a glimpse of the highly stressful world of people with communication delays and disorders. Communication is the rock upon which all social activities rest and if the communication fails, other things go awry as well - relationships, learning, behaving appropriately in line with other people's expectations, to name but a few.
