pictures used for interpretation

[Guest guest]

Does anyone know of picture resources to help with

interpretation when you have an obscure language? When trying to find out what

language they speak if they cannot read? For example we do have the pain

diagram with happy, sad faces and they can point, but something else that have

been developed?

Thanks

Cherie,

The recent APHA conference in San Diego gave out some great pictorial

medical assistance guides for health medical providers. The company

was Kwikpoint, I have two publication numbers that I thought would be

helpful to you. http://www.kwikpoint.com/

1. Disaster Assistance KP5L-MED-GEN27

2. Visual Medical Translator KP7L-MED-GEN16

The contact info for the company is 370-370-5527 or e-mail

info@...

Hope this helps,

Good morning:

I have within my possession a "Pocket Communicator" developed by the Cambridge Advanced Practice Center for Emergency Preparedness, in collaboration with the Massachusetts Department of Public Health. This sturdy and colorful brochure allows you to determine what language is spoken (15 choices); clinic signage included, as well as screening and treatment diagrams.( www.cambridgepublichealth.org/services/emergency-preparedness/products.php). The NYS Department of Health has also developed The POD Quick Card, which is similar in nature. The NYSDOH requests that you contact them for permission to adapt the Quick Card for any other use.
