Did You Know?
The U.S. Department of Labor, Office of
Disability Employment Policy offers the following tips for interacting with people with
disabilities: Listen to the person with the
disability. Do not make assumptions about what that person
can or can not do.
When speaking with a person with disability,
talk directly to that person, not through a companion or
interpreter.
Offer assistance to a person with a disability, but wait until your
offer is accepted before you help. |
