Putting People First:
Interacting with People with Disabilities
When interacting with individuals with disabilities, be sure to put the person first. It is important to be conscious of people with disabilities and be prepared to interact with them as naturally as anyone else. They are your co-workers, neighbors and friends, and each has their own preferences.

Don’t let fear of saying or doing something "wrong" prevent you from getting to know someone who has a disability. If you are unsure of what to say when you first meet, just say "Hello."
