The elderly often have some degree of sensory impairment and this also has an impact on communication. * A health care worker might be dealing with someone suffering from a mental illness. This may take many forms; perhaps the client is depressed and reluctant to speak, or may be deluded or hallucinating. This makes communication challenging and the care worker needs to learn strategies to improve her sensitivity.
The children outlined above are the more typical examples someone might think of when we mention special educational needs. However, some children have needs that might not fall into these more obvious categories. Other examples could be gifted and talented children who might need additional support. There are also children who have illnesses that are not obvious by looking at them, but mean they have additional needs to other children. Some of these categories are as follows… • Speech or language impairments • Physical impairment i.e.

Things they like and dislike. 6.3 Explain why an individual with learning disabilities may face additional barriers when accessing healthcare services An individual with learning disabilities may face additional barriers when accessing healthcare because they face problems within the community that someone without a learning disability can easily overcome. People with learning disabilities often have other health conditions such as hearing or sight problems. This can create barriers when accessing healthcare because they cannot interact with the environment like someone whose hearing and sight are not a problem. People with learning disabilities often have confidence issues and it can feel very daunting when required to access the community independently.
This is also an additional impact on well being that patients have to live with.

Cultural deprivation means when children are deprived from things what they need. This can include the lack of values and support they get from their parents, which can influence on socialisation skills. It can be argued that due to lack of family structure, social cultural and soft skills pupils are less likely to underachieve. Cultural deprivation is a theory that many working-class children are inadequately socialised and therefore lack the ‘right’ culture appropriate for a successful education. Many people argue that development is vital in the younger years in the child’s life, and the ability to solve problems and apply ideas help in the long-term.
Outcome 2 1- To establish the communication and laungage needs, wishes and preferences of an individual you can look in their care plan. It will show you if they have difficulty communicating and the best and effective ways to overcome these. You could also seek help from other staff members who have worked with the individual in the past as this could be very effective. Talking to the family members is also a good way to find out this information. 2 - There are factors to consider when promoting effective communication such as disabilities such as hearing loss, impaired vision, mobility problems or speech impairment.

The main purpose for special education is to make sure that kids with disabilities get the equal education they deserve.
