As a Peer :

• Respect accessible spaces and facilities.
  Do not occupy designated accessible parking spaces, elevators, wheelchair ramps, or other accessibility features. If needed, offer assistance to help classmates with disabilities use these facilities.

• Avoid making decisions for them.
  Do not assume that classmates with disabilities cannot participate in certain activities, especially physical ones. Instead, invite them and ask if they would like to join.

• Be observant and proactive.
  Pay attention to situations where they might need assistance, but always ask first before offering help to respect their independence.

• Encourage social interactions.
  Some classmates with disabilities may be more reserved or passive in social settings. By reaching out regularly and showing genuine interest, you can build a positive and supportive relationship.

• Provide appropriate physical assistance.
  If a classmate has mobility challenges, you can offer help by pushing their wheelchair, assisting them up and down stairs, or providing support when needed, ensuring they can fully participate in activities.

• Plan for accessibility in group activities.
  When inviting classmates with disabilities to events, check for accessible facilities in advance, including transportation, restaurants, accommodations, and activity venues, to ensure their full participation.

• Practice patience in communication.
  If a classmate with cerebral palsy has difficulty speaking clearly, listen attentively and give them the time they need to express themselves.

As a Teacher

• Encourage physical activity.
  Support students in participating in suitable sports, such as swimming or wheelchair sports, to help maintain their physical health and well-being.
