Do you remember when we were a child and the doctor discussed with our parents first how ill we are, what our symptoms are?<\/p>\n

As an adult, wouldn\u2019t a similar scenario hurt bother or even annoy us? Unfortunately disabled<\/p>\n

people still face distinction like that. The doctor, the administrator or even the man of the street would contact the healthy person\/assistant that escort them. It\u2019s even typical in case of blind people, maybe because a visually impaired person usually can\u2019t make eye contact with the person who wants to talk to them. Because of that people mostly don\u2019t even bother trying to talk to them, they\u2019d rather talk to the accompanying even if their words aren\u2019t meant for them. If people don\u2019t directly talk to a blind person and they can detect it from the context it obviously hurts their feelings.<\/p>\n

Though people living with visual, hearing or locomotor disability can perfectly understand and reply to us.<\/p>\n

It is important that we don\u2019t take the chance of disabled people to communicate, to share their opinions and to make responsible decisions! We can make huge differences towards equal opportunity with small things, such as address our message to the disabled person instead of their helpers. The helper’s task is not to speak instead of the disabled but assist her\/him.<\/p>\n
