Mastering Ambiguous Language: Essential Activities for Online Therapy Practitioners

As an online therapy practitioner, enhancing your ability to clarify ambiguous language is crucial. The research article "Saying One Thing, Meaning Another: Activities for Clarifying Ambiguous Language" by Cecile Cyrul Spector (1997) offers valuable insights and practical activities to improve this skill. Let's delve into how you can implement these findings to better serve your clients.

Ambiguous language involves words or phrases that have multiple meanings, leading to potential misunderstandings. This is particularly relevant for individuals with language-learning disorders, hearing impairments, brain injuries, and those from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds. The ability to navigate and clarify such ambiguities is essential for effective communication.

Key Activities to Implement

The research highlights several activities designed to enhance comprehension and usage of ambiguous language. Here are some you can integrate into your online therapy sessions:

Encouraging Further Research

While the activities mentioned are a great starting point, continuous learning and research are essential. Stay updated with the latest studies and resources in the field of speech-language pathology to refine your skills further.
