Communication disorders

  • People with communication disorders stammer when talking. They take a long time to pronounce one word.
  • A person who stammers may find it more difficult to pronounce words if he or she is annoyed, nervous or afraid. 
  • In ( Matthew 9:32-33) we read that Jesus healed a man who could not speak.
  • The man had an evil spirit that made him not talk.
  • Jesus cast the evil spirit out of the man and the man was able to speak again.

How can we help those with communication disorders?

  1. We need to be considerate. We should not make fun of those with difficulty speaking especially when they are not able to pronounce some words.
  2. We also need to listen to them carefully and be patient with them.
  3. We need to be alert and exercise courtesy when interacting with them.
  4. We need to offer help where we can. 
  5. We also need to encourage them so that they may be able to cope with their challenge.
