Effective communication =
happiness, confidence and achievement

Communication is not just about talking. The essential element of effective communication is paying attention to and processing other people’s non-verbal signals.

Between 60-90% of a conversation is understood through the non-verbal message so the development of these non-verbal skills is crucial. Being able to make sense of social situations is key to being able to get the most out of a situation and fulfil our potential.

A child who does not pick up on these very subtle cues, often can talk very well but finds it difficult or impossible to communicate effectively with those around them. This causes frustration which can lead to extreme behaviour patterns.

Not Just Talking specialises in working with children in the development of non-verbal skills. We also train parents/carers and practitioners in understanding non-verbal communication and supporting children with difficulties in this area of communication.
