When I lived in California, I work at Angel view ( A foundation for individuals with physical and mental disabilities. ). I was responsible for their daily care such as bathing, changing and feeding. I was a caretaker for three people their names were Martin, Bobby and Rafael. Martin had a traumatic brain injury and limited communication, and both Bobby and Rafael where a quadriplegic and nonverbal. My situation involves Martin and the day he broke my hand and wrist all because he didn't understand why he couldn't go outside. His mom had given a strict order not to let him outside if the weather was bad because he had a compromise immune system and would most likely end up in the hospital. When I tried to explain this to Martin, he became irate and started screaming and that's when he attacked me …show more content…
Once I had enough people there as back up I should've explained to Martin but he couldn't go outside because it was raining. I should've explained to him that he went outside, he would've probably gotten sick and put in the hospital, which is not something he wanted to do. Overall to Arrive at a more suitable outcome, I should've taken the time to think of how to explain the situation to Martin in a way he would understand. I should've found a way to keep the situation calm, to give a better result for everyone involved. In some instances I believe failure to think before you speak can often change communication. If you don't say what you mean someone may take it the wrong way. In today's interactions many miscommunication situations, happen daily and work, school, home life. This is especially true if you're talking with someone, or taking care of someone who is nonverbal and unable to properly communicate their needs, wants, discomfort or something that they just don't understand, such as Martin not understanding why the rain was preventing him from going
The speaker must thoroughly think through what he or she is going to say, and the method in which they want to say it. They must evaluate and decide whether to use verbal or nonverbal communication, or a mix of the two. If they have chosen verbal communication, they must figure out a way to communicate in a non-patronising way that will still be as effective. If nonverbal communication is chosen, the correct method of nonverbal communication should be chosen. Effective communication must happen in order to meet Mrs Hedges’ needs, to help her feel re assured, safe and secure.

One particular night I was in my room on my laptop, and Steve abruptly burst through the front door. I could hear my siblings scream, “Stop,” as I walked to the door to see what was going on in the room. Steve and my mom were face to face and appeared to be engaged in a verbal altercation. I ran towards them to step in between the conflict, but it was too late. He had struck my mother and charged at me. He grabbed me by my white tank top shirt, and he dragged me into the kitchen. He picked me up several times and body slammed me on the kitchen floor. I tried to kick him off of me, but my adolescent legs were no match for this 250 pound man. My mother and siblings began to strike him with pots and pans and begged him to get off of me. I manage
Society, including myself, volunteered to help special needs students make Valentine’s Day cards. Even though all went well while we were making the cards, the students we were working with were then asked to “buddy up” with one of the volunteers to hang up posters around the school. A girl named Tiffany, who suffers from Down syndrome, chose me as her partner so the two of us proceeded to walk around the school. After about ten minutes, Tiffany seized the stapler I was carrying and attempted to staple my hair. I responsibly left the stapler in an office as to avoid an injury to myself or those around me. Once she realized I no longer was carrying the

I would like to inform you that today there was a fight at our juvenile detention center. The children that were involved was a boy named Stanley Yelnats, Hector Zeroni, and the main participant was named Rick. The incident took place around 12:00 p.m. and in the middle of the field where all of the boys dig their holes during the day. I pulled up in the water truck with all of the boys lunches and water to fill their canteens. Just like any other day hey all lined up and the only thing that seemed different was that Stanley was near the front of the line and not at the back where he usually is. I didn’t really suspect anything that was going to happen. The boys were having their regular chit-chat as I handed them their lunches and filled their canteens with some fresh water and then went to the back of the truck to go get some ore lunches for the rest of the boys.
Many people do not realize that what they have said has even insulted anyone. It is important to always give the other person the benefit of the doubt by asking them, "This is what I heard you say. Is that what you meant?" (Cole 312). Communication is not a mastered art; therefore, there is assuredly room for misunderstandings. Mr. Strong says, "The key is to continue the dialogue, hear the other person's concerns, and point out your own" (qtd. in Cole 313). Furthermore, continuing the dialogue allows time for clearing up any miscommunications that may have occurred. It's always a good idea to give people a chance to explain themselves before falsely
Improving the quality of care at Caring Angel’s Hospital, will require various steps in order to achieve the primary objectives for the facility to become more efficient. The three levels to consider that will optimize the approaches to organizational coordination includes: the programming approaches to coordination, feedback approaches to coordination, and relational coordination. Programming approaches will be relevant to these situations at Caring Angel’s Hospital, because it focuses on the performance of work; and “the work is only effective when it’s understood and programmable” (Burns, Bradley, & Weiner, 2012, p.83). These will be an essential components for the organization with developing “standardized approaches”, which specifies to the activities and protocols in the levels of work which includes: (1) patient intervention: planning, policy and procedures; (2) skills: focusing on education and on- job training, meeting qualifications required by the organization; (3) and output: which identifies the intermediate outcomes passed from work, and can be used to set the needs for services being provided and goals achieved (Burns, Bradley, & Weiner, 2012, p.83). Team building is very critical with any organization to perform cohesively, programming approaches are relevant, but are not able to stand alone, without the exchanges of information. The feedback approaches are needed to facilitate the transfer of information to accomplish effective
Many generations view music as a form of entertainment only, so our society tends to overlook the messages behind the music. Many artists use music to promote their beliefs or inform their listeners about overlooked issues. Music spreads awareness about misfortunes in the world, and Martina McBride used her celebrity status to promote her own concerns about child abuse. In 2002, Martina McBride recorded a song “Concrete Angel” to spread awareness about child abuse. Her song is intended for the general population that are bystanders because most people are aware of tragedies such as child abuse, and most tragedies can be prevented. Through the elements of plot, character, and foreshadowing, “Concrete Angel” illustrates the story of a young girl’s abuse in order to call the bystanders to awareness of the societal problem.

Determine the talker's needs during the interaction. At the beginning of a conversation, the talker may be tentative and not say what he or she means. Whether he or she continues often depends on the listener's initial response. Stay neutral and try to listen objectively. Direct, clear communication rarely occurs when information flows one way. Listening blocks are obstacles that interfere with our listening they
Throughout my internship I have encountered small communication issues many of which involved a misunderstanding of words and their meanings. For example, one day I was the only one in the office (my supervisor left to use the toilet) and a volunteer walked in and asked me “what are the prices for concessions?” I instantly thought to look for the pricing of foods and drinks to answer the question. My supervisor returned and then I asked her what the prices were for the concession stand in which she gave a puzzled looked but answered that concessions were 14 pounds and regular price is 18 pounds. I become completely confused and wondered why prices were so expensive. So, I decided to ask what concessions meant and the answer cleared up my fog.
At one time in my life, I took everything for granted because I never had any altercations with anyone until one morning I decided I would do some spring cleaning before I went to class. Due to my negligence, I did not lock the door to my house nor to my shop. When I returned back to my work shop, I became what criminal justice defines as a “victim”. Through a lot of counseling and learning I could not run anymore, I can tell others how to be careful. However, I’m particular with whom I talk. Since I moved back to Mississippi, I am careful in every aspect of my life. I knew what I had to do in order to reduce the risk of being attacked, and especially protect my grandchildren. Every day I change my pattern; especially when I travel. Although I used to travel the backroads, they are history. I may have to take a detour periodically, but my husband knows my whereabouts all the time. I also have a tracking device on both of our
