Unit 4222-324 (HSC 3029) Outcome 1, 1. Explain the importance of meeting an individual's communication needs. The importance of meeting somebodies communication needs is because if they cannot communicate effectively then you can understand what they are trying to express. Different people have different communication methods or methods that they prefer to use, so we should support them when using their preferred method of communication. Without communication people cannot express their needs or wants, so therefore it is a basic human right.
Chatrooms and Instant Messaging. 2. Explain why two way communication is important for individuals with sensory loss When communicating with someone who has a sensory loss, make sure you talk to the person directly, even if there is an interpreter there. Make eye contact and talk in the same respectful tone you would use with others. [ Use a natural tone of voice and gestures.
When communicating it is essential that you are understood and there can be many barriers between individuals. It is important to assess these barriers whilst communicating and adapt your communication methods to suit who, when and why. Body language is a major part of communication and there are a number of rules that apply in most (but not all situations) Your body posture should be
Make sure you listen effectively and the use of body language is also important. 3.4 Sometimes you may need to get more specialist advice because an individual’s communication is too complex to deal with alone. Such as a speak and language therapist, sign language training. Where there is a language issue then you may need to get an interpreter.
Some of the challenges that arise when communicating with different cultures are difference in communication styles, attitudes towards conflict, decision-making styles, and approaches on tasks. It is important we accept each and everyone’s differences. Non-verbal communication may be more effective when dealing with different cultures and languages. Effective communication requires special attention and consideration from each party. When cultural barriers exist, one must rely on nonverbal communication to relay the correct message.
Language Disability (eg hearing difficulties) Lack of ‘common ground’ (eg cultural or age difference) 3.2 Describe ways to reduce barriers to communication Be aware of what the barriers are or may be and act accordingly. If, for example, the other person has hearing difficulties written or visual communication may be appropriate. You must endeavour to build a relationship so that you can recognise the individual’s needs. 3.3 Describe ways to check that communication has been understood. The obvious way is to ask, but where not appropriate or possible it may be necessary to observe and monitor the other person’s response to your communication.
A social interaction is a face to face process between two or more people, the interaction involves, actions, reactions, communication and a mutual concept of each other’s body language and mannerisms. The goal of interactionism is merely communication with others. One person would observe the others behaviour and adapt their own communication skills to return the communication. For example, if you wanted to communicate with a deaf person, you would identify immediately that either sign language or lip reading would be the most appropriate way of communicating. All individuals have different attitudes, values, cultural and religious beliefs, however in such a diverse society it is important to understand a minimal amount of knowledge about others beliefs in order to all come together in society.
Communication can be done verbally by talking or writing, through letters, emails and leaflets, or by using body language to get your message across to the receiver. “Communication is really important because that's the way of expressing yourself. If we don't communicate clearly with each other, there's no point in communicating at all.” (www.mencap.org.uk). By communicating we create and preserve relationships with others, to convey and acquire messages and instructions and to understand and to be understood. We interact to share our feelings, opinions and emotions and to listen to others to show them that we value their opinions.
Therefore if/when their behaviour/reactions change or differ from the norm you will be able to notice straight away and explore what or whether there is a problem that needs addressing. Aiv: Explain why it is important to find out about an individual’s: A: Communication and language needs: It is important to remember that not everybody communicates in the same way and also you need to make sure you are able to communicate effectively with the individual’s you support in the best way for them. First you must recognise that each individual is unique; therefore there will be differences and influencing factors in the way each person communicates. Influencing factors that may affect the way an individual communicates are: Cultural differences Acknowledging and responding to the cultural aspects of an individual’s identity and care needs are likely to enhance communication. By finding out about a person’s cultural background will give you an insight as to the best way to communicate with them.
