People with communication disorders form a diverse group with some experiencing
long-standing disorders and others the onset of new disorders in old age.
Regardless of age at onset, the burden of communication disorders is cumulative
and has important implications for health care providers. Communication serves
many roles for older people, not only establishing and maintaining social
affiliations but also providing access to health care services. Health care
providers should be aware of potential communication disorders and make provision
for quiet environments, reading materials at appropriate literacy levels, and longer appointments for people with communication difficulties.
