Everyone communicates differently. In Australia, an estimated 1.2 million Australians have communication support needs.

Whether it’s spoken, signed, digital, or written, communication bridges gaps, fosters meaning and understanding, and strengthens relationships.

Speech Pathologists empower people to communicate their way and this week we think about the role speech pathologists play in helping people achieve their communication goals to form connections and express themselves in unique ways.

There are special times in my role where I’m reminded by my beautiful clients the type of impact we can have in their lives. My beautiful client gifted me this picture and told me that I’m her “superhero.” Thank you to this amazing girl who has achieved so much with her communication. It is children like you who are the real superheros in life ❤️

Tips for successful communication

• Always treat the person with the communication disability with dignity and respect
• Understand there are many ways to communicate.
• When you don’t understand, let the person know that you are having difficulty understanding.
• If you think the person has not understood, repeat what you have said or say it a different way.
• Try asking the person yes or no questions if you are having difficulty understanding them.
• Ask the person to repeat or try another approach if you don’t understand.
• To make sure you are understood, check with the person that you have understood them correctly.
• If you ask a question, wait for the person to reply.
• Allow the person time to respond, so always be patient.
• Speak directly to the person and make eye contact. (Though be mindful that there are some people who may not want you to look at them, e.g., some people with autism spectrum disorder)
• Speak normally. There is no need for you to raise your voice or slow your speech.
