Adjusting Communication
Understanding as best you can a person’s level of comprehension or understanding. Do they understand single words or abstract ideas, can they understand what pictures or signs represent? You then need to change the way you communicate, to ensure you enable the people you work with to understand. You can do this by using signs, gestures, pictures, symbols or just slowing down and making your language simpler. It also means giving the people you work with the best help possible to get their message across to you and others. You can do this by offering simple choice, using a yes/no switch, using pictures and objects and using active listening.
