Ramping Language: The Importance of Being Understood

This session will look at a variety of ways to communicate with individuals with intellectual disabilities who have difficulty taking in information. We ramp curbs, but sometimes we need to ramp language as well. Respecting someone’s mode of communication means developing and adapting how we want to get our point across.
