We want to hear from you!

Working with individuals with disabilities on a daily basis we see everything from severe disabilities to not-so-severe ones.  However, I’ve noticed that a few people with disabilities sometimes use it to their advantage.  For example, sometimes I see people on the bus with disabilities who wait to be escorted to their seat even though they can find a seat on their own.  Therefore, I’m interested in knowing how this affects the way you view an individual with a disability.  Are they a person?  Do you see the disability before you see the person?  Do you have a tendency to have pity on them because of their disability?  Let me know how you think a person with a disability should be treated.

  1. We are all people . Therefore is that the individual should be treated as a person . Just because you have features that look a little different that doesn't make you any less of a person
