Through heartfelt personal anecdotes, we discuss how small gestures, such as simply asking about someone's needs, can profoundly impact those with disabilities. Learn about the often-overlooked nuances of respectful interaction, from avoiding assumptions in medical settings to steering clear of patronizing behavior. In our discussion, we emphasize the importance of empathy and understanding in creating a more inclusive and supportive environment for everyone.
