AWARENESS AND DISABILITY ETIQUETTE

Disability Awareness

Disability awareness is empowering everyone with the knowledge required to be responsive to the broader needs of a range of people with disabilities, information about the appropriate language, and practice of proper etiquette to communicate. Many barriers still exist for people with disabilities including:

• Failure to recognize the rights of people with disabilities

• Lack of knowledge and confidence about disability

• Disability misconceptions

• Over-concern for being politically correct

• Lack of awareness of disability

• Negative attitudes

• Limited or absence of opportunity

• Failure to appreciate how to make programs, services, and activities into disability-friendly places
