HINTS FOR DEALING WITH
THE PHYSICALLY DISABLED

 

1. Most people who use wheelchairs will
ask for assistance if they need it.
Don't automatically assume that
assistance is required. Offer as-
sistance if you wish, but do not in-
sist and accept a “no thank you"
graciously.

2. A wheelchair is part of a person's
body space. Don't hang or lean on
the chair.

3. When talking to a person in a wheel-
chair, if the conversation continues
foc more than a few minutes, sit
down, or squat if convenient.

4, People are not confined to wheel-
chairs. They often transfer to
automobiles and to furniture. some
pecple who use wheelchaizs can walk
with the aid of canes, braces,
crutches, or waikers. Using a
wheelchair provides a means of con-
serving énergy or moving about more
quickly. 5

5. Access is a major concern for many
disabled people. The person must
find a route that does not present
barriers. A barrier may be a stair,
a narrow walkway, a heavy door, an
elevator door that has no delay
mechanism, or a vehicle blocking a
curb cut or ramp.

6. Learn where special facilities are
located. At McBride, a special wash-
room is located in the 500 Building
across from the staff/faculty lounge.
At winslow, there is an equipped
stall in the men's and women's wash-
rooms on the main floor in the class-
room wing.
