Welcome to my blog page! This will be a journal of the happenings, thoughts and comments about the Unique Populations class that I’m currently taking. I along with my other classmates are taking this class to gain better awareness and empathy for individuals who have cognitive, physical, psychological, sensory or emotional needs including how to recognize barriers to care and modify care to meet their needs.
On Monday, we watched an informative video on the etiquette of communications with people who have special needs. The video was very helpful in supporting us with any misconceptions we may have had about that type of communication and made me feel more comfortable about going to the high school in the coming weeks.
This course will present challenges for me personally and professionally, but hopefully because of this course I will be able to overcome barriers to communication and be able to make the best decisions for my client’s dental hygiene treatment.
