Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Children with mild cognitive impairment may have difficulty with language development, but they often compensate through nonverbal communication such as gestures and body language. It is important to recognize and respond to these nonverbal cues to support their communication development. Correcting them constantly may cause frustration and inhibit their willingness to communicate. It is not the cooperating teacher's responsibility to force the child to communicate like their peers, but instead to support their individual communication needs.
