    I would intervene by asking questions to raise awareness, such as:
    – “How are we ensuring that all learning styles, including visual learners, are being considered?”
    – “What can we do to make the discussion more inclusive for different learning preferences?”

    The answer is it depends. I would closely observe the process. If all participants are actively participating in the discussion on the problem and also if during interventions the whole team is active in discussion reflections, I would not mention this. The session, problem discussed and reflections may not require additional references appealing to various styles or people knowing their preferences may take care of it by for example taking notes on their own.
    However, if I would see that some participants may be struggling with understanding what people are saying both in problem solving or reflection part, I would address that by saying something like: I’ve noticed that there is a lot of being said right now, and it seems to me that some of you may have some challenges with following up with all that have been said. Am I right? And if they confirmed, I would have asked: What could help us to get the most learning from this session?
