I don’t mean someone with a disability. Just someone who may have a low IQ or lower cognitive abilities. This describes my mother in law who is a very nice person but I often find she is confused by what people around her are saying. We have to stop frequently and explain what a word means and explain concepts to her quite simply. Should I change the way I communicate with her? Thanks.

Red- talk to them normally like you would anyone else, even if that means stopping frequently to explain what a word or phrase means when they get confused.

Orange- talk to them normally but consciously use simpler words and phrases so they don’t feel confused.

Yellow- consciously only talk about simpler concepts in which you know they feel comfortable with.

Green- something else/explain please.
