Slowly falling in love with myself

My name is Taylor. I post pretty things, things about body love and self confidence and feminism. This is a hate free blog, and a safe space for all bodies.

How to interact with a wheelchair user

(a list of do's and don'ts)

Don'ts

Don't touch our chair without permission

Don't crouch down to talk to us

Don't tell us how brave we are

Don't ask us to 'do a trick'

Don't push us unless we ask

Don't say "it's not too bad" when we complain about inaccessibility

Don't have a go at us or call us fake for standing/walking (ambulatory wheelchair users to exist)

Don't ask us what is wrong with us or why we need the chair

Don't do stuff for us

Don't ask for a go in the chair

Do's

Do be kind

Do treat us like a human being

Do move out of the way if there is little space or a narrow path

Do ask if we need help

Do talk to us like any other human being

Do be supportive

Do ask us if you want to sit down, we are usually happy to move somewhere with seating

Do speak to us, not our carer or service dog

Do ask appropriate questions i.e. how accessibility can be improved, what we think about the weather, if we caught the game last night

Do reblog this so other people know how to interact with us!

no matter how hard things are or how hard things get, you are going to make it through this.
