I can understand trying to teach someone via visuals or by talking to them but I can’t figure out how you would teach someone multiplication or about government services or scammers without either.
!nostupidquestions is a community space dedicated to being helpful and answering each others’ questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
That’s it.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it’s in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.

I think the first step is generally establishing communication first. Like they might learn signs by touch. Later they could be taught braille in order to read.

That’s true for all of us. We work it out from context and eventually become fluent in whatever language(s) we are exposed to.
By that logic, how do you learn to talk? Before you understand language, no one can explain the meaning of words to you.
I imagine this happens the same way. You “bootstrap” language by introducing a few touch signs and go from there.
Why make such claim? It’s really a stretch to assume the individual lives in a social bubble by themself.
That being said, the same way you were taught your language(s); consistency.

Touch based communication is a thing that exists. Some cultures count based on where they touch, for example, not by showing some number of fingers. The basics, however, involve consistency in the language taught. While there is no common, to my knowledge, touch based language it is possible for the basics of communication to be performed through touch alone and as long as the language was consistently used the individual would be able to learn it the same as sign language or spoken language. From that point it would be possible to bootstrap braille, and from there a more complex language model.
