Health Literacy is the ability to read, compute, understand and act on health information to make informed decisions.

In this course, an overview of health literacy is provided. The session will review techniques for clear and effective communication, verbal and written communication with those from other cultures, writing and selecting easy-to-read health materials, and assessment tools to use to ensure that clients understand the therapy services provided and have the skills needed to access, understand, and use health information.
