At Eternal Anchor, we strive to create spaces where everyone feels valued, respected, and included. Here are a few tips on disability etiquette to keep in mind as we work together towrad this goal:

✦ 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝗣𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗦𝗽𝗮𝗰𝗲: Mobility devices (wheelchairs, canes, etc.) are part of a person’s personal space. Always ask before touching or moving them.
✦ 𝗨𝘀𝗲 𝗣𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗼𝗻-𝗙𝗶𝗿𝘀𝘁 𝗟𝗮𝗻𝗴𝘂𝗮𝗴𝗲: Say "a person with a disability" rather than "a disabled person." This emphasizes the individual, not the disability.
✦ 𝗔𝘀𝗸 𝗕𝗲𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗛𝗲𝗹𝗽𝗶𝗻𝗴: Not everyone with a disability needs assistance. Always ask, “May I help you?” and respect the answer.
✦ 𝗦𝗽𝗲𝗮𝗸 𝗗𝗶𝗿𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗹𝘆: When engaging with a person with a disability, speak directly to them, not to a companion, caregiver, or interpreter.
✦ 𝗔𝘃𝗼𝗶𝗱 𝗔𝘀𝘀𝘂𝗺𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀: Every person with a disability is unique. Don’t assume you know what someone can or cannot do based on their disability.

At Eternal Anchor, we champion these practices every day as we empower children, teens, and adults with disabilities. Let’s all play a part in creating an inclusive, supportive world! #DisabilityEtiquette #InclusionMatters #LoveIsAnAnchor ... See MoreSee Less
