Based on Kolb’s experience, what is the best way to help a hearing-impaired person participate in conversation?
The best way to help a hearing-impaired person participate in conversation is to communicate clearly and effectively. This can include:
1. Facing the person when speaking so they can see your lips moving
2. Speaking clearly and at a normal pace, avoiding mumbling or speaking too quickly
3. Using gestures and facial expressions to help convey meaning
4. Not talking over a person when they are speaking
5. Using visual aids or written notes if needed
6. Being patient and understanding if the person asks for clarification or repetition
It is important to be respectful and accommodating of the individual's needs and to make an effort to ensure they feel included and engaged in the conversation.
