Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Giving the person time to understand what you asked allows them to process the question and formulate an accurate response. This can be especially important for individuals with cognitive or communication impairments. Expecting an answer right away or writing the question on white paper may not address any potential communication challenges, and asking the question in another way may still not effectively communicate the intended question.
