COMMUNICATIO N INVOLVES LISTENING

There are five types of listening professionals should be using to communicate with families appropriately (and vice versa). Empathy Clarifying Open-ended Questions Summarizing Reflection/Feedback Set aside your own internal frame of reference and try to understand and experience the world from the other person's point of view 2 Ex. "You sound really light-hearted about the results today." OR "This has been disappointing for you." OR "Does this cause you to feel intimidated?"

Be sure you are hearing what the other person is saying 2 Ex. "Correct me if I am wrong, I believe you are saying..." OR "It sounds as though you are saying..."

Invites expanded expression of what is relevant and/or important to the person or situation. 2 Ex. "How did the school respond to your questions?" OR "Tell me what you would like to discuss today." OR "What did your employer tell you about your request for time off?"

Open-ended Questions/Respon ses (no right answer) 1 Invites expanded expression of what is relevant and/or important to the person or situation. 2 Ex. "How did the school respond to your questions?" OR "Tell me what you would like to discuss today." OR "What did your employer tell you about your request for time off?"

Collapse conversation to entire major points. 2 Ex. "This morning we have discussed options for child-care for John. You plan to call (name 3 agencies) to inquire about fees and accessibility. I will call the Idaho Childcare Line and request an application form for financial assistance. Have I missed anything?"

Reflection /Feedbac k 1 Active listening depends on feedback. You've clarified, asked questions, and summarized so that you understand what is being said. At this point you can talk about your reactions non-judgmentally. This is a good time to check perceptions. It needs to be immediate, honest, and supportive. 2 Ex. "I get the feeling there is something more that needs to be said." rather than "You are holding out on me." OR "I think there is a possibility there might be a misunderstanding." rather than "You've been a fool.
