Having Hydrocephalus has affected the frontal lobe of the brain. Among other things, this is the
area of the brain that helps us manage language and communication.
We often hear people say that general communication is up to 93% non verbal. The non-verbal
language within communication is the very thing that has been affected by Hydrocephalus.

Minimise distractions when listening is important
Ask the speaker to slow down, repeat what they have said, say something in a different
way, or to make it more simple
Ask the person to write the information down for you
Highlight the key information in written material
communication e.g. that it is better for them to ‘call a spade a spade’
Allow yourself time to think of the words, try to avoid becoming frustrated. Sometimes
silence is OK in a conversation
Try to think of another word with a similar meaning to the one that you want
Try to talk around the word e.g. describe it, rather than name it
Use other modes of communication e.g. hand gestures, writing
Rehearse what needs to be said with a family member
Have safe topics prepared – if you know you struggle thinking of topics to talk about
