- Large print handouts, signs, equipment labels
- Seating where the lighting is best
- Work assignments in electronic format

Hearing Impairments
Some people who have hearing impairments may hear at a functional level with the assistance of amplification devices such as hearing aids. Others hear only specific frequencies, sounds within a certain volume range, or nothing at all.

Speech Impairment
Some disabilities affect the ability to speak. Computer-based speech output systems provide an alternative voice for some people who cannot speak. Since electronic mail does not require the ability to speak, it provides an efficient medium for communication.
- Electronic Mail
- Concentrate on what the person is saying
- If you don't understand, ask and repeat back
