Download or read book Visually Speaking A Visual Guide for Non Verbal Patients written by Evelyn Trimble and published by PHC Publishing Group. This book was released on 2012-05 with total page 14 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Communication is a vital part of life. Trying to communicate, either verbally or non-verbally, with others who do not communicate in the same way can create major communication barriers. This can be especially true when it comes to health care interactions. Working to enhance the communication within the health care community, Visually Speaking, A Visual Guide for Non-Verbal Patients is a tool that patients, families, and healthcare professionals can use to help alleviate frustrations and challenges that can occur during day-to-day communications between patient and caretaker. This guide can assist in communicating: how you are feeling, emotionally and physically; what activities you would like to do; what activities of daily living you might need assistance with; what you may be worrying about; expressing what is on your mind; what you might be wondering, what you may be missing, and what type of food or beverage you would like. This guide is specifically designed for health care professionals in hospitals, nursing homes, and assisted living facilities who want to provide the best care for a non-verbal patient.
Download or read book Visually Speaking written by Ellen G. Horovitz and published by Charles C Thomas Publisher. This book was released on 2007 with total page 251 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Deafness may or may not be considered a "disability" by those afflicted with auditory loss, but it is indeed a physical difference that has resulted in a language system. From language springs culture, and Deaf language is indeed a cultivation that celebrates such ethnology. As a result, most of the authors in this book recognize that discernment when referring to the "Deaf" culture and their unique, pictorial, sign language. Sign language vibrates through space as a three-dimensional language system, which arcs in past, present, and future just by mere body positioning and facial expression. This enchanting language crosses culture and is indeed classified, codified, and uniquely its own system. Because of the complexity of this pictorial system, (from a developmental, cognitive, and emotional standpoint), invited contributions from some of the foremost authorities on Deafness pepper these readings. As many of the contributors note, there has been an antiquated prejudice against Deaf culture and a reluctance to treat those who are Deaf in an appropriate fashion. The authors in this volume have refuted the mistaken conviction that Deaf individuals lack creativity, intelligence or the insight to be helped through psychotherapy and/or mental health services. One of the most wonderful things about this book is that finally the Deaf are being recognized as the full human beings they have always been, who deserve full access to all of our resources. Celebrating the unique strengths of Deaf individuals while rejecting the focus on their weaknesses is sprinkled throughout the pages of this book. Indeed, this offers a vantage point that is both optimistic and realistic. And best of all, there are chapters, which will sensitize, inform, and inspire. Doctor Ellen G. Horovitz has done a service to anyone who offers art therapy to the Deaf. Through promoting healthier art therapy for the hearing impaired, those who are assisted will be able to live fuller, more rewarding, creative lifestyles.

Download or read book Graphically Speaking Visual Lexicon For Achieving Better written by Lisa Buchanan and published by HOW Books. This book was released on 2002-11 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It's all too often that designers leave a meeting with clients feeling as if they've been speaking an entirely different language. Graphically Speaking solves such communication problems by breaking down client-designer dialogue into something both parties can understand. It visually defines more than 30 of the most common words that clients use to describe what they want in a design. Vague, possibly confusing terms -- words like elegant or powerful or warm -- are made specific as they relate to actual design style. Entries provide visual reference materials including color combinations, fonts and final designs so that terms are defined both literally and visually. Because of the structure of the book, it's really three must-have books in one -- a client communication guide, a designer reference and an inspiring collection of top design projects. Lisa Buchanan is the Art Director of HOW Design Books. Before joining HOW, she worked with clients on freelance projects including logos, web sites, letterhead and business cards -- all while developing her insights into client-designer relationships. Lisa lives in Cincinnati, Ohio.
Download or read book Visual Intelligence written by Amy E. Herman and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2016-05-03 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An engrossing guide to seeing—and communicating—more clearly from the groundbreaking course that helps FBI agents, cops, CEOs, ER docs, and others save money, reputations, and lives. How could looking at Monet’s water lily paintings help save your company millions? How can checking out people’s footwear foil a terrorist attack? How can your choice of adjective win an argument, calm your kid, or catch a thief? In her celebrated seminar, the Art of Perception, art historian Amy Herman has trained experts from many fields how to perceive and communicate better. By showing people how to look closely at images, she helps them hone their “visual intelligence,” a set of skills we all possess but few of us know how to use properly. She has spent more than a decade teaching doctors to observe patients instead of their charts, helping police officers separate facts from opinions when investigating a crime, and training professionals from the FBI, the State Department, Fortune 500 companies, and the military to recognize the most pertinent and useful information. Her lessons highlight far more than the physical objects you may be missing; they teach you how to recognize the talents, opportunities, and dangers that surround you every day. Whether you want to be more effective on the job, more empathetic toward your loved ones, or more alert to the trove of possibilities and threats all around us, this book will show you how to see what matters most to you more clearly than ever before. Please note: this ebook contains full-color art reproductions and photographs, and color is at times essential to the observation and analysis skills discussed in the text. For the best reading experience, this ebook should be viewed on a color device.

Download or read book Photographically Speaking written by David duChemin and published by New Riders. This book was released on 2011-10-11 with total page 537 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When looking at a photograph, too often a conversation starts–and, unfortunately, ends–with a statement such as, “I like it.” The logical next question, “Why?”, often goes unasked and unanswered. As photographers, we frequently have difficulty speaking about images because, frankly, we don’t know how to think about them. And if we don’t know how to think about a photograph and its “visual language”– how an image is constructed, how it works, and why it works–then, when we’re behind the camera, are we really making images that best communicate our vision, our original intent? Vision–crucial as it is–is not the ultimate goal of photography; expression is the goal. And to best express ourselves, it is necessary to learn and use the grammar and vocabulary of the visual language. Photographically Speaking is about learning photography’s visual language to better speak to why and how a photograph succeeds, and in turn to consciously use that visual language in the creation of our own photographs, making us stronger photographers who are able to fully express and communicate our vision. By breaking up the visual language into two main components–“elements” make up its vocabulary, and “decisions” are its grammar–David duChemin transforms what has traditionally been esoteric and difficult subject matter into an accessible and practical discussion that photographers can immediately use to improve their craft. Elements are the “words” of the image, what we place within the frame–lines, curves, light, color, contrast. Decisions are the choices we make in assembling those elements to best express and communicate our vision–the use of framing, perspective, point of view, balance, focus, exposure. All content within the frame has meaning, and duChemin establishes that photographers must consciously and deliberately choose the elements that go within their frame and make the decisions about how that frame is constructed and presented. In the second half of the book, duChemin applies this methodology to his own craft, as he explores the visual language in 20 of his own images, discussing how the intentional choices of elements and decisions that went into their creation contribute to their success.
