That's all fine we can train ourselves to deliver most of the body language by learning the positive postures and gestures but when we are in the midst of abled colleagues and classmates or in any public conversation how to read the deliverer's body language? other than one's tone and words we don't have clue of one's mood to be understood... Is there any solution for this???
