Kommunikationshelfer · Sign language · Ralf Höher
Understand. Connect. Support.
Kommunikationshelfer supports people who need clear, calm and reliable communication during important appointments. The focus is on sign language, plain communication and practical assistance in situations involving health, work, pension matters, contracts, applications or personal decisions.
Many appointments are demanding. There may be forms, official letters, medical explanations, deadlines, benefits or contractual details. Kommunikationshelfer helps structure these topics so that questions can be prepared, information can be understood and important details are not lost during the conversation.
Support for appointments, authorities and important conversations
Whether it is a medical appointment, the employment agency, German Pension Insurance, a tax office, a bank, an insurance company, a car dealership or another important meeting: communication support helps everyone involved understand the topic, the next steps and the documents that may still be needed.
The support does not replace professional advice from doctors, authorities, tax advisers, banks or insurance companies. Its purpose is to make the conversation more accessible, to help clarify questions and to provide a better basis for your own decisions.
Medical appointments
Support during consultations, examinations and follow-up discussions. Symptoms, diagnoses, medication, therapy recommendations and next steps can be discussed more clearly.
Employment agency
Support with appointments about work, placement, training, benefits, applications and documents. Questions can be prepared and important papers can be sorted in advance.
German Pension Insurance
Assistance with appointments concerning pension, rehabilitation, reduced earning capacity, applications, official decisions and supporting evidence.
Tax offices and advisers
Communication support for tax documents, questions, deadlines and explanations. The professional advice remains with the tax office or adviser.
Banks and insurance companies
Support during consultations about contracts, claims, benefits, accounts, documents and general clarification.
Car dealerships and other appointments
Communication help for consultations, purchase, service, workshop appointments and other situations by prior arrangement.
How the support works
Before an appointment, the topic, the required documents and the most important questions can be clarified. During the appointment, communication is supported so that information remains understandable. After the appointment, the next steps can be briefly sorted, for example missing documents, deadlines or who needs to be contacted again.
The support is respectful, discreet and adapted to the individual situation. Calm communication, clear language and a conversation at eye level are especially important.
Costs and possible cost coverage
In certain areas, costs may be covered by the responsible funding body. This can be relevant for medical appointments, rehabilitation topics, participation benefits or selected appointments with public authorities. Beforehand, it can be clarified whether cost coverage may be possible and which office could be responsible.
For other areas such as tax offices, banks, insurance companies, car dealerships or private appointments, flat rates and travel costs may apply. Costs are discussed transparently in advance.
Who can use this support?
The service is intended for people who need support in sign language or plain communication during important appointments. It is also suitable for relatives, medical practices, advisory offices, institutions and companies that want to make conversations easier to understand.
