PACER CENTERACTIONINFORMATION SHEETSB asic Disability Etiquette TipsThe following tips are things to keep in mind when interacting with people with disabilities. Remember each person is an individual. Never assume you know what a person with a Disability wants or needs. If offering any assistance, always wait for a response and then follow the individual s instructions. When talking to a person with a Disability , talk directly to that individual, not the friend, companion or Sign Language interpreter who may be present. Respect all assistive devices ( canes, wheelchairs, crutches, communication boards) as personal property. Unless given permission, do not move, play with, or use them.
