CWSN notes ,Adaptive physical education class 11
1.Be respectful and treat everyone with kindness: People with disabilities deserve the same respect and consideration as anyone else. Use polite language and avoid making assumptions or stereotype about their abilities.
2. Use person-first language: Instead of labeling someone by their disability, put the person first. For example, say “a person with a disability” instead of “a disabled person.”
3. Ask before offering help: If you encounter someone with a disability who appears to need assistance, always ask before jumping in to help. Respect their independence and allow them to decide if they need assistance.
4. Be mindful of physical space: Some disabilities may require more space to maneuver, so try not to block wheelchair ramps or designated accessible areas.
Avoid using wrong language: Be cautious with phrases that may unintentionally offend people with disabilities. Refrain from using terms like “crippled” or “handicapped.”
6. Communicate directly: When speaking to someone with a disability, address them directly rather than talking to their companion or caregiver. Treat them like you would anyone else.
7. Ask if you’re unsure: If you’re unsure about how to interact with someone with a disability or what accommodations they might need, feel free to politely ask. Most people will appreciate your genuine interest in understanding their needs.
8. Respect personal boundaries: Just like with anyone else, respect personal space and avoid touching or leaning on mobility aids without permission.
9. Be patient and listen: Some individuals with disabilities might communicate differently or require more time to express themselves. Be patient and give them the opportunity to fully participate in conversations.
10. Recognize invisible disabilities: Not all disabilities are visible. Keep in mind that someone may have a disability that is not immediately apparent, so avoid making assumptions based on appearances alone.
11. Advocate for accessibility: Encourage and support initiatives that promote accessibility in public spaces, transportation, and workplaces, making it easier for people with disabilities to participate fully in society.
