Who is your client as a consultant?
The one who hired you.
List strategies an OT can use to support health literacy.
1. Use simple, everyday language and avoid jargon. Speak to a client as if you were in your living
room, and avoid using medical terminology. Select plain words in verbal communication, such as
“take care of” in place of “manage,” “stand up” in place of “transfer,” or “turn palm facing up”
rather than “supinate.”
2. Limit take-away points to two or three. Studies show that patients forget 40% to 80% of
information presented to them (Kessels, 2003) and that fewer than 50% of information may be
recalled correctly (Laws et al, 2018). Can a home exercise program, for example, be focused on
two exercises rather than six?
3. Use models, illustrations, or X-rays to educate. Some patients are visual learners, so reach
them with what works best. The use of drawings may help the client understand why instructions
are so important to follow.
4. Use a medical translator or interpreter when there is a language barrier between the health
care provider and the client.
5. Use the teach-back method as described below to encourage shame-free communication and
optimal client understanding.
