Maybe you think of a character from a movie or TV show. Maybe you think of the blue sign with the stick figure in a wheelchair. Maybe you think about a family member or even yourself. Whatever first pops into your mind, we can all benefit from a closer look at what disability really means, especially at work. To get started, let’s check out the two categories of disabilities: Visible or Apparent Disabilities Visible or apparent disabilities are those that we can immediately identify, such as someone using a wheelchair, walker, or another type of assistive device. A few examples include: cerebral palsy muscular dystrophy Down syndrome blindness person of short stature limb differences Invisible or Non-Apparent Disabilities Invisible or non-apparent disabilities are those that are not instantly apparent, such as brain injuries, learning differences, mental health disorders, and more. A few examples include: ADHD dyslexia rheumatoid arthritis depression and other forms of mental illness chronic medical conditions intellectual and developmental disabilities Whether disabilities are apparent or non-apparent, stigmas follow people living with disabilities through life. No matter what assumptions exist, people living with disabilities can live fulfilling, happy lives, and are essential members of our workforce and our society. Watch: Check out this training video from the Washington, D.C., government for an upbeat, entertaining, and informative look at disability sensitivity. Need help with this video? Click Here We know from the video that we can avoid awkward conversations by remembering that people with disabilities are people first. You can up your etiquette game by keeping these specific tips in mind depending on the impairment: People with Mobility Impairments Try to position yourself at eye level when possible and/or sit when talking with someone in a wheelchair for more than a short time. Do not lean on, push, or use a person’s wheelchair or other piece of equipment. People with Visual Impairments When speaking, state clearly who you are, and use a normal tone and volume of voice. Do not attempt to hold or lead the person without asking first, and if they ask for help, offer an arm and walk at a normal pace. People with Speech Impediments If you don’t understand something they said, don’t pretend to! Instead, it's okay to politely ask them to repeat themselves. If you continue to have trouble, try repeating back what they’ve said for clarity or switch to writing. People Who Are Hard of Hearing Look directly at the individual and use short sentences in a well-lit area. Speak clearly and in a normal tone. You should also be sure not to cover your mouth, if possible, to allow for lip reading. Take Action: It’s all about accessibility. We may not be in charge of the way our workplaces are set up, but we certainly can make note of real-world needs for improvement. Be observant. And if you see something that could be improved to make your workplace more accessible, let someone know. SHOW WHAT YOU KNOW True or False.
