A thread on "How to Interact with Persons with Disability"
If you come across a person with any disability, don’t treat her/him as a sick, or, sad person and refrain from projecting your emotions of pity and fear on the person with #disability.
#PWDs

On this weekend, if you go to any restaurant, for thought experiment, just imagine how would you enter into the building with all those stairs if you happen to be on wheel chair? #PWDs

Just imagine how would you feel if you can’t see the man behind the counter because it is too high if you happen to be on a wheel chair . #PWDs

Never say to a #blind person ‘do you know who is this’? #PWDs

Do identify yourself when entering into a room, or, meeting a #blind person.
#PWDs

Always speak directly to the blind person, not, through your companion.
#PWDs

Give specific direction while helping a #blind person, not like chair is here, or, there, should be like the chair is one foot to your left etc. #PWDs

Don’t shout, or, speak loudly when interacting with a blind person, generally they have fine hearing. #PWDs

Never grab a blind person, always offer your elbow. #PWDs

Never ask personal questions about the disability condition unless there is comfort level for such conversation. #PWDs

Don’t offer advice for cure to a person with disability. #PWDs
