Rosie is a very patient speaker and listener. Throughout the short time I spent with her, she listened very carefully to anything that was asked of her.
Her younger sister is nearly two years younger than her, and Rosie is very patient with her. Rosie seems to have grasped the concept of waiting her turn, whilst her younger sister hasn’t. I found there were times when Rosie would stop talking when her sister interrupted and just wait until she could speak again. She didn’t feel the need to speak over her younger sister, but just participated in the conversation and when back to what she was saying.
With regards to listening, when I asked Rosie a question she always looked at me when I spoke and would prompt me for more information if she didn’t quite understand what I was asking.
There were a few things I noticed about her speaking
She spoke loudly to her sister and parents when discussing things such as morning tea, watching the television or making a joke.
But when it came to answering a question such as “Do you like to read” her voice drops and is very quiet.
She has the slightest hint of a lisp
She used complete sentences that make sense and were in the correct order
There wasn’t a time when I had to get her to explain what she meant or ask her questions to grasp the full understanding, she was very good at communicating what she meant, even if that meant speaking with more basic language.
