EP 87 :: Ideas For Dementia Communication :: Susan I. Wranik

Susan is a national speaker, author, linguist, and medical professional passionate about communication, quality of life, and enabling other people’s voices.  She began her career as a translator/interpreter for the Italian Ministry of Defense, later moving to clinical work as a speech language pathologist.  Her firm, SpeakSkill LLC, brings together linguistic, cultural, and medical expertise to provide training and therapy in comprehensive communication skills enhancement.   “People who are dealing with dementia and with cognitive shift are having the same difficulty finding the words to understand what you say to them as they are finding the words to express themselves,” Susan says.   "As clinicians, our job is to open the door and show family members and those who live with their life, altering diagnosis how they can be better communicators and reach the soul of the person. That's our responsibility,” Susan states.   Don't forget to subscribe, download, and review to share your thoughts about the show!
