Respect & Dignity

This essential training course focuses on fostering respectful and dignified interactions with individuals with disabilities through proper disability etiquette and awareness. The course covers fundamental principles, including understanding ableism and avoiding microaggressions, using person-first language that emphasizes the individual rather than their disability, and practicing accessible communication techniques. Participants learn practical guidelines such as asking before offering assistance, making appropriate eye contact, being patient and flexible with accommodations, and avoiding assumptions about capabilities. The training emphasizes that disability etiquette goes beyond politeness to create genuine respect, understanding, and equal treatment that breaks down social, physical, educational, and employment barriers while promoting social equality and inclusive communities.
