#AphasiaCREchatQ3 The intent to provide good communication is evident in most healthcare workers I see. Putting knowledge in to practice or modifying style is more challenging. 'Being able reflect on communication is a stronger predictor of change than years of experience .

#AphasiaCREchat As SLP we are OK with communication breakdown and try a different strategy. I think other professional struggle more with 'doing it right

@MadelineCruice @MarcellaC_SP @JenThomsonSLT @Kathryn_SLP I think the pandemic has given everyone permission to try something different #AphasiaCREchat

@kebabby_mae @aphasiacre Absolutely. I think Covid has made communication difficult for healthcare workers. Perhaps all patients were at risk before COVID but it was a ''hidden" issue #AphasiaCREchat

#AphasiaCREchat Q2 Communication during Covid is hard! It is hard among co-workers and harder with the people we care for. I acknowledge the mask and that it makes talking difficult. Making sure I check how they cope with it helps

#AphasiaCREchat Q1 Supporting healthcare communication is central to all of my clinical interactions. Aphasia makes this more challenging and time consuming but to see a change in body language when communication happens reinforces the importance of this.
