To facilitate lipreading for a hearing-impaired child who can lip-read,the speaker should be at eye level,facing the child directly or at a 45-degree angle.Facial expressions should be used to assist in conveying messages,and the sentences should be kept short.The speaker should stand close to the child,not at a distance.Using a loud tone while speaking will not facilitate lipreading.
