Etiquette: Interacting with People with Disabilities

People with disabilities are individuals with families, jobs, hobbies, likes and dislikes, and problems and joys. While the disability is an integral part of who they are, it alone does not define them.

RespectAbility offers tips and resources to educate the public about etiquette and interacting with people with disabilities. Featured information includes:

• A disability sensitivity training video from the D. C. Office of Disability Rights
• The United Spinal Association’s Disability Etiquette booklet   (Spanish)  (Chinese)
