Question: Mohammad is a 65-year-old man with a mild intellectual disability who receives care under the HACC program. Mohammad's carer has gone on maternity leave, and her newly assigned care-worker is finding it difficult to communicate with him. The carer jumps quickly from topic to topic, using academic expressions and service jargon. Mohammad becomes upset and has trouble expressing his thoughts to the new carer.

Mohammad feels that he must be stupid and slow, and his self-esteem plummets.
