The importance of respecting the client’s dignity and worth is so that he/she can have their concerns attended to and understood. This attention to their concerns assures the client’s well-being by feeling respected allowing an easier way to

3.6 When responding to an individual’s needs, I would take a moment to make sure I have understood what is required of me and then take the relevant action, always communicating back to my client so that she is aware of how I am dealing with her request.

Disagreements are unavoidable in any business. A humble stage of disagreement can be helpful in creating enhanced thoughts and approaches, stimulating apprehension and resourcefulness, and motivating the appearance of long-suppressed tribulations. Conflict resolution approach must intend at keeping disagreement at a stage at which different thoughts and viewpoints are completely voiced but uncreative conflicts are discouraged. Encouragement of conflict situations is suitable if the project leader recognizes circumstances of 'group-think.' Group-think is a circumstance where disagreement hardly ever occurs because of high-minded group unity, which results in poor choices and insufficient production. Group-think conquers when there are a large number of members in a group that just agree with anything, with the outcome that there is no grim assessment of the circumstances and innovative thoughts are not recommended.

Making sure clients know how to complain. It’s important to make the complaints procedure easy and accessible for everyone, so the clients don’t feel like it’s difficult to make someone know that they’re not happy about something. They also need to be reassured that the complaint is confidential and will be dealt with quickly as these are probably the main factors why people don’t want to complain.

After reviewing the article written by Lisa Moore, I began to reflect upon how I would incorporate empathy in my interactions with a client during the assessment phase of therapy. Empathy in a nutshell is attempting to match your feelings or current state of mind with that of another individual. In our field, empathy is of the utmost importance. It allows the speech-language pathologist (SLP) to meet clients where they are, to enter their world, and truly understand what it feels like to be them. SLP’s must not only view the client from an external frame of reference, but they must attempt to extract the client’s thoughts, feelings, ideas, beliefs, and values before and whilst administering an assessment protocol. There are several ways in

A client may begin to feel angry because the communication barrier could be affecting there needs, wishes, wants, rights, requests and preferences.

Empathy- Throughout the call, there was not any empathy expressed to the client to show care and understanding for his concerns. We should use empathetic statements such as, " I understand your concerns and I will be happy to help you."

Issues with issues with clients are not being resolved as they arise and this leads to the escalation of problems. There seems to be little flexibility in meeting customer’s special requests in that they are rather than being seen as an opportunity to make the customer happy and build future business they are viewed as an annoyance. A customer commented after a problem at a job site: “there is no relationship building going on”. We also heard from a client “I don’t know who does what anymore” indicating a lack of clarity of who is responsible to deal with specific customer issues.

I felt like the sky, my head like a cloud moving around in clusters that are of different shades of colours which I will describe as my emotion at the moment.

Most of the client tend to choose believe on the expertise and accept all the decisions from them in silent without giving any opinions and suggestions. At the end of the project, client may found that it is not perfectly suited them.

There are issues of confidentiality, understanding what’s in the client’s best interest, the rights of the client, and using the techniques to best assess the client. It is also important to maintain a professional relationship with clients.

In resolving conflict, ask the question, “How do we keep this from happening again?” The first thing is to be objective. This helps in managing conflict by keeping team members focused on the problem at hand (Huber, 2007)

Empathy is a feeling of putting yourself on others situation, giving caring and understanding the circumstances of someones who need help, being aware of what others felt behind his/her struggles and also a feeling you want to comfort his/her despite of their worst experiences.

Social Justice is defined as “the equal distribution of opportunities, rights, and responsibility despite differences in physical traits and/or beliefs and behavior. It is an international and multifaceted issue that fights for better treatment and equality of people.” (“Pachamama Alliance,” 2017). According to this definition, my understanding of social justice is that it is a way to advocate for other individuals in order to assist their needs in society. For example, I would want to advocate for Hispanic mothers and children who have been through abuse. My empathy towards this group started because of my personal history with an abusive father who suffered from alcoholism. “Empathy involves thinking about a person and the challenges he or she is facing and coming to understand what it is like for that person to have that experience.” (Cameron & Keenan, 2013, p. 72).
