ABSTRACT
Communication between the child with a disability, his parents/carers and practitioners is essential to maintain the process of any intervention. In addition to their professional expertise, all practitioners need to have a working knowledge of different cultural groups, which includes their health beliefs, religious practice and social customs. As a consequence of demographic changes, Lindsay (2012) highlighted the importance of providing culturally sensitive care because parents/carers' views about disability might differ from the practitioners'. Kale and Chia (2017) provided five case studies to illustrate some of the cultural issues and beliefs that practitioners might encounter in practice when working with parents/carers from diverse cultural backgrounds. Unaided forms of communication are those that do not require external equipment and rely on the individual using their own body: Aided forms of communication are those that require external equipment: Creating a profile for the child will help with communication between the child, his parents/carers and practitioners.
