This month, the Ndlovu Care Group is focusing in particular on communication with deaf and deafened people. When lip-reading is no longer an option due to the mouth guard, the communicative abilities of these people are considerably limited. Non-verbal communication then also becomes an essential basis for the other person to break down communication barriers.
The Ndlovu Care Group produces several videos with tips on how to improve communication with hearing impaired people and posts them online. Even if you have to keep your distance during social distancing, you can still understand what is being read or pointed out. The simple recommendations are easy to implement and can be followed by anyone.
