Join us for an important and practical workshop on Disability Etiquette—the respectful ways of interacting with, supporting, and including people with disabilities in everyday life. This session will provide tools to help participants build confidence, awareness, and understanding when navigating professional and social interactions.

Why is this important?
Disability etiquette isn’t just about avoiding mistakes—it’s about fostering dignity, independence, and inclusion. By learning best practices, we create a community that is more welcoming and accessible for everyone.

This program is being held in recognition of National Disability Employment Awareness Month (October), which highlights the valuable contributions of people with disabilities in the workplace and the importance of inclusive employment policies and practices.
