Sinopsis

My Pain AlertáTMáScale Communication Tool is an introduction to pain management for the very young and for people with communication handicaps. áJust as we train our small children to convey their bowel and bladder needs, we can train very young and limited communicators to clarify their pain relief needs. Forty yearsáof speech therapy practice have been distilled to make this tool widely accessible. áThe degree of pain is divided into only five levels. áThe description relates each level to the limited communicator',s own experiences. The levels are depicted by a person, not a symbol. áThe level for feeling better is above the most common pain experiences rather than at the end of the scale. áThe pictures are appealing and the activities can be fun. My Pain AlertáTMáScale Communication Tool includes a quick method of recording detail about the individual at the time pain is experienced. áSuch a record can strengthen family-doctor teamwork needed to solve serious pain issues. Individuals can use: ápointing at pictures, words, numbers, American Sign Language signs or specific sounds in response to descriptions, song verses, pictures, ASL signs or verbal cues. Standardized questionsáincluded in the Tools section of thisábookácanáfacilitate research aboutáthe populations for which this book is intended. áWe hope this book helps each person who owns it.
