D2 –
Independent and / or Others
If a nurse or doctor is treating a patient that is deaf they may have to find a sign language
interpreter or write down what they are saying so the patient understands, this would be
using a mix between verbal and written communication and sign language.
If a blind person is having a new carer introduced or is having carers for the first time the
carer should always announce themselves or let them know they are there and coming in so
they don’t scare them or make them worried. If they are wanting to be more independent
they may want to turn on the telly by themselves or take some medication by themselves so
the carer could introduce braille to the person so they can understand how to use it and
read it meaning they will feel more independent.
B1 –
An effective communicator makes sure they maintain the same tone throughout their
sentence and make sure they are being loud enough so the person can hear them.
Maintains eye contact and keeps their body language free and open
