How to Treat a Person with Disabilities
“How to Treat a Person with Disabilities, According to People with Disabilities” — Vice, 2018, 3:44 — https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W6c6JLbczC8
A short video where people with disabilities reflect on how they like to be treated by others. This is something all able bodied folks should see, as even our “best intentions” may come across as belittling or offensive. What other assumptions do we commonly make about people with disabilities? Why is it important to respect the agency and preferences of those with less social power?
From the video’s description: Vice talks to people living with disabilities about the proper ways to treat someone with disabilities.
