□ make eye contact with the patient
□ ask the person what will help them with communication
□ speak directly to the patient rather than their companion
□ tell the person with the disability how courageous and special they are

Explanation:

• Make Eye Contact with The Patient: Maintaining eye contact (when appropriate, considering the disability) shows attention and respect, aiding communication.
• Ask the Person What Will Help Them with Communication: People with disabilities know their needs best, so asking empowers them to guide effective communication.
• Speak Directly to the Patient Rather Than Their Companion: Addressing the patient directly respects their autonomy and ensures they receive the message, even if they use a companion for support.
• Tell the person with the disability How Courageous and Special They Are: This is inappropriate as it's patronizing and focuses on the disability in a condescending way, not improving communication.

Answer:

A. Make Eye Contact with The Patient, B. Ask the Person What Will Help Them with Communication, C. Speak Directly to the Patient Rather Than Their Companion
