One-on-One Communication, also known as individualized communication support or personalized interaction, is an accommodation designed to facilitate direct, clear, and focused conversations between individuals. This approach helps people who experience challenges with group communication, auditory processing, or social interaction by providing tailored attention and reducing distractions. It is especially beneficial for those with hearing impairments, cognitive disabilities, or language processing difficulties. By offering a private setting for dialogue, One-on-One Communication promotes better understanding, engagement, and participation in educational, workplace, or social environments.
Begin by identifying a quiet, comfortable space free from distractions to hold conversations. Use clear, simple language and allow extra time for responses. Maintain eye contact and use visual aids or written summaries when helpful. Regularly check in to confirm understanding and adjust communication methods as needed.
