Nonverbal Communication
Nonverbal Communication
Week 3 Topic:
Communication is a necessity in order for people to make their most basic needs and desires known to others. For those with moderate to severe speech impediments this is a huge issue that can affect all areas of their life.
Prior to this week’s discussion participate in a typical daily activity (e.g., ordering food, purchasing items, asking directions) without using oral language. Take note of how you felt and the alternative procedures you used.
In your discussion share what activity you chose and the outcome you found when you were unable to verbally communicate:
- What was the outcome?
- How did this experience make you feel?
- What were the effects on the listener?
- What have you learned from this week’s readings that would support your observations and experiences during this activity?
- 2. Your initial post (your response to the topic) must contain a citation. It is your ideas supported by research. Please refer to the APA Power Point in the Start Here section of the classroom for information on proper formatting. There will be a deduction of 20 points for failure to cite a source within your initial post and to provide a reference at the end of your initial post.
