Disability awareness helps “to remove barriers so that responsible, self-sufficient people with disabilities can assume risks, make choices and contribute as they wish… this is a vision in which we all win.”
Disability awareness helps us recognize and challenge unfair attitudes and behaviors, and create a world where everyone feels accepted and included. By understanding different needs and perspectives, we can work together to build a community that values and supports everyone, regardless of their abilities. Everyone needs disability awareness training. Regardless of your relationship with disabled people, it is inherent upon every person to put forth an effort to learn about the barriers to inclusivity, appropriate etiquette and interaction skills, proper language, and Americans with Disabilities Act compliance.
