Teaching Children How to Communicate
Introduction
This paper will look at the research I conducted on how to teach children to communicate in different ways. The research shows the results of four different studies that range from Life Space Crisis Intervention, the use of statistical charts, the effects of social media and mobile technology, and the Makaton Language Program, and how they impact the youths of today. The research shows will show how these methods are widely used today, and the effects they have on the younger population today.

Life Space Crisis Intervention is a strategic verbal and therapeutic strategy used to help children during stressful moments. LSCI is more effective when children have already acquired basic learning and communication skills. In Ghent, Belgium a special education and day treatment facility OOBC Nieuwe uses the (LSCI) with children who have behavioral and emotional disorders.

Makaton teaches language by using symbols and signs to help people learn to communicate. The Makaton language program is now used in forty countries and has become the most prevalent communication method for individuals with learning disabilities. du Feu, C.
