Question

write a debate on the topic should disable people gives a special treatment

Answer 1

I also have wondered about the ‘the’ category. If a group of people are “the disabled” is a single member to be referred to as “A disabled”?

I tried incorporating that into a greeting. “HI, I’m Penina! I’m a blind!”

It didn’t go over all that well. :D

As for how disabled persons should be treated… treat us as you would any and all others: With courtesy and respect. Manners, we used to call it back in the days when dinosaurs ruled the Earth.

My stock action is first to watch. If a person in a wheelchair reaches a corner, hit’s the traffic signal’s pedestrian crossing button, and then proceeds without difficulty to the curb cut to await the light, I don’t offer help. They seem to have it all in hand. On the other hand, if I see that same person in the grocery store, struggling to get to her feet to try to reach an object on a high shelf, I’ll casuallyask “Need a hand with that? Which cereal are you getting?” and, if she says “Yes, I wanted the Bran Flakes,” I’ll reach it down to her. No biggie. Then I either go back to my shopping or ask her “Anything else you need from this aisle?” If the answer is “No, thanks.” I say “OK, very welcome. Have a great day.” and meander back to my own cart.

It’s NOT a big deal. In fact, the more casual and light, the better. If I see a confused blind person at an intersection I know is familiar to me, I will comment “The signal in front of you just went red. The crossing to the left will start after the cars stop turning. Want to cross with me?” giving THEM the chance to say yes, no or leave me alone. But if I encounter a blind person waiting, head up, obviously listening to the traffic flow I say nothing!Why? Because they are very probably counting the light! Listening to traffic flow, timing the light’s interval and calculating how long they have to cross. They’re doing mathematics in their head and I need to let them concentrate. They will cross when the light is to their favor.

In all cases, wheelchair user, blind, deaf, cane or crutch user, with an assistance dog or what have you, I watch first! See if they actually need help. If not, I leave them be. If they seem to need assistance, I will then step up and casually offer. In all cases, let the person with a disability tell you what it is they wish! And yes, THANK YOU for offering!! :D Sometimes yes, we do need that hand!
