How do you feel when you meet someone with a disability?
Are you uncertain, fearful, avoidant, pitiful? Or are you curious, conversant, understanding, and accepting? Even the most well-meaning people can feel unsure how to interact with and address someone with a disability. As someone becomes familiar with disability, they realize it’s just a difference (not a deficiency)... and a whole new world of connection and possibilities opens up.
