This would make it difficult for the service worker to communicate information to the service user. Learning disabilities can also affect a service user’s ability to communicate. While speaking to a Speech and language therapist, I learnt that service users with Semantic-pragmatic disorder find it difficult to effectively communicate with others. Semantic pragmatic disorder causes delayed language development and have difficulty following conversations. This means that the service user cannot fully communicate their feelings and opinions and would struggle to convey what is wrong with them
Explain what is meant by the term dysarthria. Dysarthria is a disorder of speech 3. Describe the communication challenges presented to the individual and self by dysphasia and dysarthria. People with dysphasia often have language that is fluent with a normal rhythm and articulation but it is meaningless as they fail to comprehend what they are saying because they have problems word finding. So they can be asking for something but the words mean something else and communication could be difficult when talking to the individual.
This makes conversation stilted and difficult to maintain. Then of course there is the problem of remembering people’s names which can become so dominating that the affected person does not listen
These methods of communication can be useful for building vocabularies of individuals with limited speech. Other individuals may have a vast vocabulary, but due to rigid sets of interests may only use repetitive speech which means their communication can be out of context, making conversations difficult. 2. - Problems that individuals with an autistic spectrum condition may have in social interaction and relationships Due to the social difficulties linked with autism, individuals often find social interaction and the building of relationships very difficult. Individuals with autism often have difficulties reading non-verbal forms of communication, such as body language, and find it hard to relate to other people’s feelings and emotions, which can effect their responses to a social situation as they will appear out of context or inappropriate.
With hearing loss, day-to-day activities such as hearing a doorbell, using the telephone, watching television or taking part in conversations can produce feelings of inadequacy. Impact on familiar layouts and routines Sight plays a major role in maintaining orientation and people can lose a sense of what is around them and where they are. Although listening to sound can be useful, it can move and then echo off surroundings; therefore it is not as confined or exact as vision. People with vision loss may no longer be sure where things are. A feeling of being separate and an increasing sense of isolation can occur because the brain is receiving less stimulation.
Another factor that can affect how learning or development activities are implemented is language and communication. If the individual that is trying to teach somebody or help with activities that has a different first language to the individual it may be harder to understand. This not only places these learners at a disadvantage, but it also leads to linguistic difficulties which contribute to learning breakdown. f the individual you are supporting cannot speak due to how severe their physical or mental disabilitiy they have, it can create huge issues with learning development. These individuals are usually excluded from learning and development activities due to these disabilities.
3.4 4.1 Individuals living with dementia may experience loss of hearing, which can make things difficult for communication and experience feeling frustrated with others causing misunderstanding of commands. If the level of dementia causes the individual disability then they would need things around the home
The negative side of sensory loss is that they may find it hard to feed themselves, dressing themselves and that their mobility may deteariate. Also, hobbies and interests can have a negative impact on their lives. Some people may also feel alone and scared due to sensory loss. There is support for the deaf and blind to give them a better outlook on life. 1.4 Steps that can be taken to overcome the negative factors could be that you make sure all areas are clear of obstacles so therefore an individual with eye sight impairment might fall over or fall into.
Poor communication between the service user and carer is a factor, he or she may be unable to express their concerns or opinions. If an individual is not mobile or bed bound, they are frail and powerless to defend themselves. Someone who suffers with dementia and is aggressive may be susceptible to abuse as care staff may not know how to deal with this and become frustrated and lash out. Question 2a (Weighting:
