Start by assuming a person can understand you, then adjustyour level of communication according to their response.

Use visual information such as pictures, diagrams, signs,

objects, gestures or miming to improve understanding.

Use a respectful tone and volume. If the person does notunderstand you, try a different way of providing the

information or asking the question – don’t assume that

raising the volume of your voice will help.
