Communication Across the Lifespan equates human communication with stages of human development. It helps prepare students entering health, disability and related fields to engage effectively with people, by showing them how to modify their communication approaches to suit a person's age and life experiences.

Communication Across the Lifespan combines communication and lifespan development, in order to equip students entering health, disability and related fields with the skills they need to engage effectively with people of all ages and life experiences. The book gives a sound introduction to the essential concepts of therapeutic communication across the lifespan within the New Zealand environment, and is informed by current issues and debate, designed to encourage critical thinking and reflection. Health and wellness issues are covered from the perspective of patients and professionals which enable students to hear what patients say and to explore their own lived experience of health and illness.
