Section Five: Applications in Clinical Service Delivery

Section Five considers the multi-cultural, cross-cultural, multi-linguistic, and cross-linguistic aspects of communication care. These modules also emphasize our responsibility to consider both universal human needs and individual human needs. Our actions as we provide communication with individuals must recognize, respect, and respond to all of these complexities, for all clients and families.

“Multi-” means many. “Cross-” is your bridge from yourself to one other specific client. And we balance our understanding of human universals with our understanding of individuals’ specific needs.
