Summary/Abstract: The requirements of special education entail the approach to the educational act from the standpoint of the child’s inability to understand reasoning or elements of learning contents. This cognitive block primarily involves personality imbalance and behavioural disorder. The child refrainsfrom speaking and manifests inhibition towards learning. The more serious is the speaking handicapat an age when one is trying to affirm oneself at the level of the social life, the more the negativeeffects increase, and personality disorder accentuates. In this context, it is advisable that communication should be clear, concrete and constant – e.g. by using the same word for illustrating similar instances; by using short, simple sentences, accompanied by gestures and intonation; and alsoby using visual aids in communication (images, pictograms). Such interventions keep the child attentive and decrease his anxiety, making him perceive the words correctly and apply them in communication.
