What are communication aids?
Communication aids are a very important resource to assist individuals with aphasia/apraxia or dysarthria to communicate with hospital staff, carers and/or family and friends.
The pictures and words on the board will support individuals with speech language and communication difficulties, enabling them to express their immediate basic needs, preferences comments, requests or give a direction to each other.
These can increase autonomy by allowing users to make decisions about their own lives, as it allows them to communicate their needs to others more effectively.
Why have we created this resource?
It goes without saying that there is a plethora of communication resources available for individuals with speech language and communication difficulties. However, these are only available in English.
When you have a patient with an aphasia, apraxia or dysarthria, it can be difficult for them to communicate their needs, this can hugely impact their quality of life and psychological wellbeing. Now when we add the layer of a language barrier, it becomes that much harder to communicate.
Our team at Speech Therapy Interactive have produced this multilingual resources for those individuals who speak Hindi, Urdu and Punjabi, to help them communicate effectively with the people around them who may not speak the same language.
What are the benefits?
- Inclusivity – individuals who speak Hindi, Urdu or Punjabi as a first language will be able to overcome the communication barrier of speaking a language other than English. Being able to communicate in their own language will give them more confidence to share their preferences and decide for themselves. It will encourage them to engage in conversation, thus improve their communication skills.
- Cultural competence tool for healthcare professionals – Due to the English translation provided with Hindi/Urdu/Punjabi, this allows healthcare professionals to communicate and understand their patients of multilingual backgrounds, if there is no availability of a translator/ interpreter. This means being able to communicate instantly.
- Celebrating diversity – diverse resources such as these do not only assist both the patient and the healthcare professional in communication, but it also unites us in our diversity and celebrates the our multilingual, multicultural society.
