Speech and Language in Care Settings – Tips for Talking
Some acquired conditions such as stroke, head injury or dementia can make it difficult to think of words or understand what other people say.
Communication is vital in maintaining relationships and preventing social isolation. It is very important to find ways to enable people to participate in conversations and engage in social interaction even when talking is difficult.
This resource will give you tips to:
- Be aware of all the senses in communication
- Make use of visual materials and objects in conversations
- Enable people to make choices and join in
- Give people confidence in different situations
- Read the Tips for Talking leaflet. The leaflet is in a very easy to read format so you can share it with people who have language difficulties and look at some of the ideas together.
- Tell us three things you have learned and how you can implement this in your practice in a person centred way. Think about what difference will this make for the people you support?(150 words minimum)
- Discuss what you have learned with someone (e.g. line manager or colleague) and make a short note of this discussion. (50 words minimum).
