State needs and agree on helpful support · D9.16

Describe your current capacity in usable words

You want to communicate whether a task or conversation is manageable.

Everyday practice

Try these steps

1. Choose words that fit your experience, such as 'able to continue,' 'need slower instructions,' or 'want to stop.'
2. State the adjustment or support you want.
3. Decide what to do next without treating the description as a diagnostic score or a requirement to expand tolerance.

An example

I can discuss one point, but I need written notes for the rest.

Reflect

Did the wording help others understand the needed adjustment?

Next time

Use an individualized professional framework if you already have one, rather than assuming universal thresholds.
