Disabled people are not "less than" or "inferior" in any way. They are just as capable and deserving of respect as anyone else.

Disability does not equal inability. Many individuals with disabilities are highly skilled and talented in various areas.

Disabilities are not always visible. Just because someone doesn't "look" disabled, doesn't mean they aren't.

It's not always helpful to offer unsolicited advice or assistance to someone with a disability. They are capable of asking for help if they need it.

Disability does not define a person's worth or potential. It's important to see past the disability and recognize the individual for who they are.

The language we use when talking about disabilities matters. Using person-first language shows respect and acknowledges the person before the disability.

Accessibility is a right, not a privilege. Society should strive to be inclusive and accommodating for all individuals, regardless of their abilities.
