*Dear Patrons *

**
*No matter how brilliant and invaluable your idea, it is worthless unless
you can share it with others. For this reason, effective communication is
crucial to anyone and everyone. However, the ability to communicate
effectively does not come easily to many people, and it is a skill that
requires practice.*
*We begin practicing our communication skills even before we learn to walk.
A newborn child communicates by crying, but it slowly learns to mimic its
parents' speech. Eventually, the child discovers that certain speech
patterns elicit different responses; one of the joys of parenting is trying
to decipher the meaning behind certain "words." Does "baaaaaw" mean that the
baby wants his ball, his bottle, or his blanket? Slowly, through trial and
error, the child learns to manipulate sounds to get what it wants, and as
the child develops, this active oral practice leads to more nuanced and
fluid conversations. In short, the child learns effective communication.*
*To effectively communicate a complex idea, however, requires skills beyond
elementary conversation.*
*Many in our AIM community have expressed an interest in wanting us to start
a Communication Course for Adults. Your answers to the following Survey will
help us decide, whether this is something we should pursue *
