Lesson Overview

22.22 – Navigating Language Barriers in School and Healthcare: Language barriers can make people feel invisible or powerless when trying to express needs. Misunderstandings in school or healthcare settings can lead to frustration and exclusion. Learning to advocate for interpretation services or bilingual support is a vital skill. You have the right to understand and be understood. Bridging communication gaps might require patience and creativity—using visuals, translation apps, or support staff. Remember that struggling with language doesn’t mean lack of intelligence; it means navigating two systems at once. Showing empathy toward others facing the same challenge builds connection. Language is more than words—it’s identity, history, and emotion. Protecting your voice means making sure it’s heard accurately and confidently wherever you go.
