Tips for Engaging with Different Disabilities

Remember:

Not all disabilities are visible, such as heart disease, depression, or asthma.
Many people have temporary disabilities which are equally as limiting as permanent disabilities.
Not everyone with a disability wishes to discuss it or its limitations. Wait until you know an individual before asking personal questions.
