Some people find these complex sentences difficult to understand. Give time to respond People with communication difficulties often need extra time to process what you are saying and come up with a response. Background noise We can become accustomed to background noise so that we don’t notice when it is making communication difficult. Ask one question at a time We frequently ask several questions at once in everyday speech. This is a common barrier to understanding for people living with communication difficulties. Offer Written Choices It may be difficult to choose between spoken options, it can help to write down each alternative. Don’t Pretend You Understand It may be tempting to pretend that we understand what someone is saying but it is better to admit when we don’t. Write Down Keywords You can make interactions easier by writing down key words during a conversation. Don’t Patronise We may not realise that we are speaking in a patronising manor. It is important for everyone to feel respected. Ask What Helps There are numerous strategies that may help some people but not others. It is important to ask each person what helps them.
