Communicating with Children about Healthcare

Did you know that it’s still possible to connect with patients even when they don’t know their ABCs? Communicating with children about an illness or disease can be difficult, especially when it’s hard for them to even understand why things are happening in the first place. But it is possible with a little bit of creativity.

In the latest episode of Healthy Perspectives, our hosts Martin Kearton and Angelica Kopiczko chat with child life specialist, Jessica Parise. Jessica takes us through the different ways to overcome communication barriers in pediatrics as well as communicating with parents of young patients. Give it a listen here!
