Resource of the Week

An Introduction to Disability Etiquette

For the next month, the DPN blog will focus on resources about disability etiquette. Disability etiquette is a set of best practices that can help foster gracious and informed relationships among people of all abilities.

The first resource is a 12-minute web presentation from the National Business & Disability Council which gives an overview of disability etiquette for employers and their employees.

Laura Francis, Coordinator of Information Services for the National Business & Disability Council, narrates the PowerPoint-style presentation. A written script accompanys each slide, which makes the presentation easy to follow. It covers a range of disabilities, including:
  • Blindness or Visual Impairment

  • Deaf or Hard of Hearing

  • Mobility Disabilities

  • Speech Disabilities
