Educational needs are addressed by dealing with the issues like communication, cognition, learning, social and emotional needs and mental health. Communication means the transfer or swapping of message or knowledge through reading, writing or any other form. Communication and interaction need comprises of difficulty dealing with others. The children often find difficulty showing their expressions and feelings. They even are unable to receive and perceive the facial expression and body language of others. Communication and Interaction Need is basically referred to the children having difficulty in uttering words and sounds. These children are unable to understand the spoken language and the techniques relevant to that. They are also having no communication because they are unable to understand what others are saying. They are in a need of social care which is required to be given to them by the society by their siblings, parents, extended family, teachers and surroundings. So that, they can learn a way to express their proper emotions and feelings to others.
