When addressing a person with a disability
When addressing a person with a disability
Choose one:
a. immediately provide assistance.
b. treat adults as adults.
c. always address thier guardian.
d. address them by their first name.
Solution
Correct answer: B. treat adults as adults..
It's important to treat individuals with disabilities with respect and dignity, just like you would treat any other adult. Providing assistance should be offered if needed or requested, but assuming they require immediate help can be condescending. Addressing them directly, using their first name if appropriate, is a respectful way to communicate. Avoid assuming they require assistance or addressing someone else unless they've indicated they prefer that.
