Disability Awareness and Etiquette - LIVE WEBINAR

Disability Awareness and Etiquette

Presented by Stacy Hart & Jason Angel

Is the word “handicapped” in or out? How do you guide a person who is blind? Should you offer to help? What are key aspects of communicating with someone on the autism spectrum? We will discuss the wide range of disabilities and best ways to interact. You will hear from people with different disabilities. There will be plenty of time for discussion and your questions.
