Abstract
The number of older illiterate adults seeking therapy for acquired communication disorders is increasing. Communication bias may place health‐care professionals at risk for providing appropriate services to these patients. There is a need to identify illiterate patients, and to study the impact of current diagnostic and rehabilitative procedures on them. Possible effects of illiteracy on hearing‐impaired, aphasic, and laryngectomy patients are discussed, and preliminary suggestions for providing comprehensive rehabilitative services to them are provided.
