OARS is an established set of communication strategies to promote effective communication and accommodate verbal and non-verbal communication skills. These skills provide essential strategies for practicing Deep Canvassing and engaging with individuals with disabilities.
• Use concrete and plain language
• Keep sentences short
• Ask and focuses on one question at a time
• Allow extra time for the person to respond to the question
• Ensure that both people have the same understanding of what is being said
• Recognize that people may feel ashamed or embarrassed if they do not understand something. Let them know that this is okay
• Help clarify anything the person does not understand in a non-judgmental way
• Use both verbal and non-verbal affirmations
• Make affirmations personal to their experience
• Affirm when something is successful, but do not exaggerate
• Understand that affirmations help people grow in their self-efficacy
• Recognize that affirmations are important, but some people may be uncomfortable receiving affirmations
• Support the person to verbalize their feelings, but do not speak for them
• Help the person organize their thoughts or feelings
• Provide suggestions for language that they may be looking for to describe what they want to say
• Use short sentences and plain language
• Summarize often and before a topic change
• Ask the person to summarize, if appropriate
• Make and clarify agreements on what is being said
• Support someone if they do not understand something that is being said
The following key points are also important when having successful and respectful conversations with people with disabilities.
• A casual conversation outside of the main topic creates a relaxed environment and build trust, especially at the beginning of a relationship or conversation
• Mutual trust and confidence in each other
• Equality between the two people
• Empathy towards the other person and their situation
• Genuine interest
• Honestly and sincerity
• Compassion
• Careful listening
• Asking follow-up questions
• Responsibility of the person to make their own decisions
• Genuine connection and best interest of the person
• Understanding
• Respectful
• Straightforward
• Personalized
In addition to the adaptations above, centering a person’s autonomy to make their own decisions should be at the core of every conversation.
Plain Language Summary:
Some people may need extra support or changes when using Deep Canvassing because some topics or questions may be confusing. Suggestions for good communication skills when engaging with people with disabilities include:
Conversations are most successful when people trust each other, listen to each other, are honest, and are respected to make their own decision about what they want to do.

Lesson 2 Plain Language Summary:
Deep Canvassing uses empathy to help people talk about the things they think and believe. Deep canvassing helps to open communication by creating a safe space for people to talk without being judged.
Complete the Think Spot Below to Continue
Deep canvassing is a form of communication that uses long empathic conversations to help support people to engage in or change certain behavior or make decisions. It is a two-way conversation where you ask people to share their relevant, emotionally significant experiences and reflect on them aloud.
Deep canvassing is effective for many behaviors like physical activity, voting, healthy nutrition, smoking cessation, and getting vaccinated. It was first established to help change the minds of voters, but has since been adapted to open narratives around sensitive subjects.
When deep canvassing is used, longer conversation leads to deeper reflection and perspective. Deep canvassing can help people by changing their minds on issues that they may have previously held different beliefs about.
Lesson 1 Plain Language Summary: Deep Canvassing is a way to talk about sensitive subjects in a non-judgemental way that leads to a deeper understanding of the issue. Deep canvassing can be used to help people make healthy decisions.
