Nonverbal communication makes up 70-90% of human interaction!

Our body language, facial expressions, gestures, and tone of voice all play a massive role in how we connect with others.

Even without saying a word, we convey emotions, attitudes, and intentions through our posture, eye contact, and gestures.

Speech disorders can affect how a person speaks, making communication difficult. Here are some common types:

💭 Stuttering – Repetitions, prolongations, or blocks that disrupt the flow of speech.
💭 Apraxia of Speech – The brain struggles to send the right signals to the muscles needed for speech, making it hard to say words correctly.
💭 Dysarthria – Weakness or difficulty controlling speech muscles, often due to neurological conditions like stroke or Parkinson’s.
💭 Voice Disorders – Problems with pitch, volume, or tone, sometimes caused by vocal cord damage or overuse.

Early intervention and speech therapy can make a huge difference! If you or someone you know struggles with speech, professional support can help improve communication.

Effective communication is key! Here are some simple ways to make conversations easier for those with hearing loss:

✔️ Face the Person Directly – Make sure they can see your lips and facial expressions.
✔️ Speak Clearly & Naturally – No need to shout! Just speak at a steady pace and enunciate.
✔️ Reduce Background Noise – Turn off the TV or move to a quieter space for better understanding.
✔️ Rephrase Instead of Repeating – If they don’t understand, try saying it in a different way.
✔️ Use Gestures & Visual Cues – Pointing, facial expressions, and slight gestures can help convey meaning.
✔️ Make Sure They’re Ready to Listen – Get their attention with a gentle tap or by saying their name before speaking.
✔️ Consider Assistive Technology – Hearing aids, captioning apps, and other tools can help bridge the gap.

Be patient, be understanding, and remember—communication is a two-way effort! Tag someone who might find these tips helpful. 💙👇
