Compliment peoples' mobility aids. • There are two common experiences when it comes to mobility aids: really inappropriate, invasive questions/comments, or being completely ignored. Neither feel particularly good. Rather than asking questions or ignoring people completely, it's ok to just offer a compliment! • For example, "I love the colors on your cane" "Your chair is rad" "Cool stickers" are much better options than "what happened" or "wow good for you for getting around." Compliments help a person feel seen, comments make a person feel objectified. • Of course, not all disabled people are the same - there's not some code of conduct for being disabled - so not everyone wants compliments either. But if it's a situation where you might compliment a non-disabled person, it's ok to do the same for a disabled person. • • [Image description: abstract background in bright green, purple, and blue.
