learning and communication disability will posses a special needs

Ensuring a better

verbal methods of communication like using of sign language
or gestures will be beneficial. This will not only help the
worker to meet the needs of clients with language barrier but
also saves time and effort to provide better medical and health
and social care services. Besides this, the usage of gesture
doesn't require any specific training to facilitate their
utilization (Lewis, 2015).
