Hear SLP Jen Oshita share how professionals can support patients in accessing their health care and advance health equity. Oshita discusses communication access on the ASHA Voices podcast. Listen now by visiting at.asha.org/tY
Imagine being in the ICU, on a ventilator, unable to speak - your only means of communication - nodding to yes/no questions. Your ability to communicate hinges on someone asking the specific question you need. Is this truly effective communication?
Communication is a basic human right. For everyone. Everywhere. Even during medical procedures. Especially during medical procedures.

Incredible news! And a reminder that just a pen and paper can do so much to help someone communicate while on the ventilator.
Incredible news! And a reminder that just a pen and paper can do so much to help someone communicate while on the ventilator.
Used a magnetic white board & symbols to feed back VFSS results to a patient & help them make informed choices about their oral intake 🙌🏻🗣🫁 #mySLTday #dysphagia #aphasia #videofluoroscopy
Decided today that I really need to stop referring to patients as having limited English proficiency. It's ethnocentric, sounds like a deficit, and does not focus on a systemic accessibility requirement. Taking suggestions for an alternative term. #MedTwitter
Maybe the patient is not a poor historian. And maybe the one taking the history needs some better communication strategies. #MedTwitter
I just learned that today is #NationalSpeechPathologistDay. It is a good day to try to reach 1,000 followers. So please follow me if you believe communication is a human right. Or out of pity for not yet having received any messages celebrating #SLP work.
@tami_altschuler gracedowwrites.com/2022/05/12/dis… Today's blog post is about how disabled people deserve equal treatment.
The patient who “knows a little bit of English” still needs an interpreter. #MedTwitter
In the ICU today… Doctor: This patient couldn’t tell us what he would want because he can’t speak. Me: Nah. This patient couldn’t tell you because you were not using the communication board with him. #MedTwitter #CriticalCare #PalliativeCare
patient that was signed out to me as a “poor historian” just needed a Spanish interpreter 😑
