Some additional best practices for communicating and interacting with anyone with a disability include:
Be patient - sometimes communicating with someone with a disability can take a bit longer, requiring you or the other person to repeat yourselves several times.
Avoid touching or interacting with a service animal.
Think of the assistive device as an extension of the person’s personal space - touch these only if you are asked to.
When you don’t know what to do, it’s always best to ask the person with a disability.
