Disability Etiquette
Don’t let fear and uncertainty keep you from getting
to know people with disabilities. Fear of the unknown and lack of
knowledge about interacting can lead to uneasiness when meeting a person
who has a disability.
Remember: a person with a disability is a person with feelings. Treat
him or her as you would want to be treated, and then let common sense
and friendship break down any barriers you may encounter.
