| COMMUNICATION SKILLS | COMMUNICATION | STAFF ATTITUDES | STAFF TRAININGSummary: Videotapes were made of 43 staff-client dyads in small-scale residental and day service settings. Frequency counts were made of carers communicative acts, and two experience speech and language therapists rated these for appropriateness. Recommendations for enhancing communication were also noted. The results showed that clients were presented with few opportunities to engage as equal partners in the conversational interchanges; staff overly relied on verbal acts, even when they were communicating with predominantly non-verbal clients.
