Objective: The study aimed to study the specific features of non-verbal communication in children with intellectual disabilities in the dynamics of psychological impact. Background: In the 21st century, in terms of diagnostics and the implementation of psychological influences, the problem of identifying the features of the communication skills of children with intellectual disabilities becomes very significant and urgent. At present, intellectual disabilities are understood as a heterogeneous group of intellectual impairments, different in clinical manifestations, but based on the criterion of a decrease in cognitive development. A comparatively large number of works are devoted to the study of the features of the communication skills of children with intellectual disabilities. However, the research on their non-verbal communication skills is rather small. Method: The experimental research was conducted in three stages – first, the initial level of development of the abilities of recognition, naming and use of various communicative, modal and descriptive-pictorial gestures was measured. Results: After that, for ten lessons with children, the program "Lessons of non-verbal communication at school" was carried out, after which abilities were tested repeatedly. Parents and teachers were also interviewed twice. Conclusion: The study was carried out based on educational institutions outside school hours. The study involved 128 children from 6 schools in St. Petersburg. Non-verbal communication of children with mild mental retardation in comparison with normatively developing peers and with mixed specific psychological disorders is characterised by a lower level of development of cognitive, emotional-personal and behavioural components. Moreover, the most pronounced is the underdevelopment of the cognitive component, which is associated with the peculiarities of the impairment of intelligence. The study also showed that the emotional-personal and behavioural components are at a more preserved level of development in children with intellectual disabilities, which can be interpreted as the compensatory ability of the child's psyche.

Developing communication skills is one of the main rehabilitation aims in special school (Królowa & Malendowicz, 1976). Educational situations require constant communication with teachers and peers from students (Głodkowska, 2012). Studying students’ verbal communication provides information on how well they have mastered inflection, if they structure their sentences correctly, their passive and active vocabulary, and their listening comprehension. Also, assessing their communication skills gives insight into students’ need for verbal communication as well as into the form and complexity of their utterances. The study discussed presents the level of verbal communication in students with mild intellectual disabilities at an early elementary school age. Thanks to this exploration, it is possible to develop practical solutions to improve the communication skills of the group under study. The Speech and Verbal Communication Development Test by Joanna Głodkowska (ibid.) was used in the study. Sixty-three students with mild intellectual disabilities participated in the study. It was conducted in seven special schools in Małopolskie Province. Three criteria were adopted for dividing students into groups: age, gender, and place of residence. Participants were 35 boys and 28 girls. They were divided into two subgroups in terms of their place of residence: those living in a town (31 students) and those living in the country (32 students). The results of the study were analyzed with the use of the easiness coefficient developed by Joanna Głodkowska (1999). This article aims to provide practical guidance on how to work with students with mild intellectual disabilities so that their need for verbal communication and verbal communication skills are developing. The final part presents the findings and recommendations for educational practice.

Objective: The purpose of the study is to investigate the specific features of non-verbal communication in children with intellectual disabilities in the dynamics of psychological impact. Background: Gestures are one of the most important components of non-verbal communication. The development of non-verbal communication in children with intellectual disabilities contributes to their normal social adaptation. Method: To study the current state and dynamics of the development of the ability to recognise and understand gestures in the process of psychological influence, factor analysis was used by the principal component method with the use of varimax rotation. To verify the applicability of factor analysis to the selected variables, the Kaiser-Meier-Olkin measure of sample adequacy and Bartlett's sphericity test were used. Results: The data of the study showed that, depending on the level of intelligence or, more precisely, on the diagnosis given to the child, there are differences in the dynamics of the development of the components of non-verbal communication. Children with mild mental retardation display lower results than children with mixed specific disorders of psychological development and children with a normative level of intellectual development. Conclusion: The results obtained in the process of this study can be applied in practice by teachers and psychologists when working with children with intellectual disabilities.

The Ideal

Journalism job advertisements send important signals about valued skills and attributes. How such advertisements articulate journalistic expertise, including interactional expertise, has been studied, but signals about verbal communication usually have been overlooked. Little is known about how journalism employers define the most valued communication skills and the ideal journalistic voice. This signaling theory study explores expectations advertisements convey for how journalists should sound through a thematic analysis of U.S. journalism job listings (n = 510) specifying substantial verbal communication. Requirements for exceptional verbal skills and explicit calls for vocal clarity raise barriers to entry for journalists with speech disabilities or speech anxiety.
