Abstract: Primary-care providers need to be cognizant of the communication needs of patients with communication disabilities. While the needs might be similar to other patient populations, patients with communication disabilities present with unique challenges. With accommodations, patients with speech disabilities can potentially be more engaged in their healthcare conversations. Copyright Springer International Publishing Switzerland 2014
