Manual
Guidance Handbook on a healthy interaction with people with disabilities Italian
This handbook is the result of a TC of Youth in Action held in the Netherlands between October 28 and November 7, 2013. Youngsters from Bulgaria, Slovenia, Poland, Czech, Turkey, Italy, Netherlands & Romania participate and contributed to this handbook.
Aims of the tool
If one of the persons is young and inexperienced in this area, it would be useful to have a little help. There were ore then a few occasions that we spotted the need of having some advice on this matter, someone to break the ice or on whose example we can rely on. When there is a desire of social interaction with a person with disabilities usually only some ideas can be handy and sufficient.
Through this leaflet we don’t want to replace the specialized advices, we just want to give some basic tips that can be used on certain occasions like when you meet, communicate with or want to offer your help to a person with disabilities.
Description of the tool
In this handbook you can find a set of clear guidelines to help you to make better choices in terms of communication and interaction with people with disabilities. The Guidelines try to give some basic disability etiquette ideas, explain preferred terminology when communicating with/about people with disabilities, and offer suggestions for appropriate ways to interact and offer help to persons with disabilities. The Guidelines reflect the input from the experience of 40 persons with and without disabilities from 8 countries and some recommendations from other disability organizations from around the world.
