    How can we improve our communication with deaf peoples?

    Make sure you have the person’s attention before you speak.
    Make sure they are okay and not sad.

    1. Miss Vega

      How can you make sure that they are not sad? How can we include them?

  22. Safa M.

    We have to not rush them when speaking and speak the same tone of voice ( not shouting ). We could also make sure they can see what we’re saying and use sign language to them.
    We can break the barriers by making friends with them to make them less lonely and you can help them to participate in more activities to avoid depression and being excluded from society.
    You also make sure your words can be lip-read so if they are listening to you, they will have an easier way to understand what you’re saying .
