Communication strategies 

Communication strategies as “potentially conscious plans for solving what to an individual present itself as a problem in reaching a particular communicative goal. Some strategies may be as simple as having a child point to a picture and use a gesture or begin with some basic sign language. For example, a child might point to a picture of juice and then point to herself, telling you she wants a drink of juice.

Avoidance Strategies

-          Avoidance strategy is defined as an alternative to giving up.

-          Avoidance is due to poor linguistic competence or weak strategic competence.

-          Teaching within the Bottom-Up Approach is a way to help learners avoid avoidance strategy and learn to come to terms with second language learning problems.

-          Phonological avoidance is also common, as in the case of Japanese tennis partner of mine who avoided using the word rally (because of its phonological difficulty) and instead opted to say, simply. “hit the ball”.

-          Topic avoidance is a more direct type of avoidance.

 Compensatory Strategies

While compensatory strategies are generally tailored to the needs of each individual, there are also some general strategies that may be useful to many persons with cognitive difficulties. It's just a strategy that you may need to use, to compensate for the difficulties you will experiencing. Code switching can be defined as the use of more than one language, variety, or style by a speaker within an utterance or discourse, or between different interlocutors or situations.
