About communication
Communication is the activity of conveying information through the exchange of thoughts, messages, or information, as by speech, visuals, signals, writing, or behaviour. It is the meaningful exchange of information between two people.
Developing proper communication skills plays an important role in human relationships and in our day-to-day existence. Without these skills, such things as educational development, a satisfying social life, and career advancement will become much more difficult.
Unfortunately, many people must work to overcome emotional and physical barriers that prevent proper communication skills. A Sydney communication development specialist can provide invaluable guidance in learning improved speech and language communication skills.
An introduction to the different types of communication skills
The most common types of speech communication include:
-
Inter-personal
This is basically communication between two or more people through face-to-face interaction using words, body language and gestures.
-
Intra-personal
This is essentially having an internal dialogue with yourself. While we all have an internal dialogue going on just about every second of the day, the way in which we control “self talk” can make a significant difference in the quality of life.
Speech therapy can improve communication skills
Many parents in Sydney seek interpersonal communication guidance for their children. For instance, children with Aspergers Syndrome may not have the emotional skills necessary to interact with their peers. Through specialized guidance, a speech pathologist who works with children with Aspergers Syndrome can help the family to work with their child to achieve functional interpersonal communication skills.
Developing stronger intra-personal communication skills can be achieved through a variety of disciplines including self-guided meditation and professional counselling. Many people are unaware of just how much their inner dialogue controls their emotions and overall wellbeing. Working on developing increasingly positive self talk can make a dramatic difference.
Both the way in which a person communicates with themselves and with others will affect the quality of his or her life. Professional guidance may offer the boost that a person needs to improve language, communication and speech skills so that everyday life becomes much more satisfying while presenting fewer challenges.
If you or a family member have questions or concerns about communication skills contact your local doctor, who will arrange for you to see a speech pathologist. We‘ll provide you with a straightforward, efficient and very effective treatment plan targeted to your concerns.
