Communication with Elders
With the increasing number of older people in the
United States, it is vital for healthcare professionals to
communicate effectively and respectfully with elders.
Effective, appropriate communication with elders is
important for many reasons. For speech-language
pathologists and audiologists, communication is the
foundation of service delivery. Communication is
required for assessment of the person prior to
treatment. Symptoms are, after all, subjective and
must be reported by the person to the clinician.
