You will automatically adapt when you communicate with people you meet in life.
If you have a parent that is deaf - how are you going to communicate with them?
Is the parent able to lip read or will s/he 'sign?'
If you need to contact them about something would you telephone them?
or write to them?
or speak to a spouse/partner etc
These are things you would have to put in place if you had a parent that was deaf.
People may be blind or from a different country and don't speak English, they may be of a different culture and prefer you to speak to them formally.
You may have parents that can't attend an 'open afternoon' - do you offer an alternative day or evening so you communicate with them?
Think of the parents/carers you see or that you may encounter in the future and think how you would communicate with them.
