Major barrier is not the disability itself...
1. What we do not know about the disability (fear of the unknown)
2. What we think we know about the disability (ignorance)
3. Pain/discomfort (attitude)

Remember…
• Disabilities come in numbers of ONE
• “Disability” is the only minority group that you can become a member of at any point during your life

Empathy vs. Sympathy
Think about what you have been taught about, and how you view, people with disabilities. . .

The Human Experience of Disability
We are not…
• Tragic or pitiful
• Helpless
• Angry or vengeful
• Stoic or brave
• Trying to be inspirational
• All alike
We are individuals who…
• Do things a little differently
• May see our disability as a part of our self identity
• Have the same needs, desires, talents, as others and deserve the same access to opportunities

Communication: the Basics
Disability-First Language:
• Draws attention to limitation and weakness
• Defines the person as their disability
• Draws attention to stereotype
People-First Language:
• Focuses first on the person, not their disability
• Focuses on their ability and not their disability
• Draws attention to the unique individual

Is it OK to Help?
It is okay to ask the person if they would like assistance and to let them tell you how you can help.

General Considerations
• Relax — Do not be afraid to make a mistake• Treat adults as adults; they are people first• Do not make assumptions about what they can and
can’t do• Do not assume they experience their disability the
same way you do or would• Offer assistance, and if accepted, follow the lead of the
individual• Address the individual, not their companion or
interpreter• Do not distract service animals
