Commandment #9: Gain attention respectfully for hearing loss. 👋✨

When trying to get the attention of someone with a hearing disability, it can be easy to react based on impulse—like waving aggressively or raising our voice. But as our speaker, Ate Kaye, beautifully breaks down in this episode, those methods aren't always effective or polite.

She reminds us with a warm smile: “If you really cannot hear anything, even if you keep on shouting and make your voice loud, there is really nothing.” 🔇💡

Instead, she shares incredible, real-world alternatives that rely on physical respect and gentle awareness.

💡 The Golden Rule: To respectfully get the attention of a person with a hearing disability, tap them gently on the shoulder or wave your hand naturally within their line of sight. As Ate Kaye shares, you can also gently tap a shared surface—like a table in front of you—because they will easily feel the physical vibration and know you are trying to connect!

Once you have their attention, maintain clear eye contact, face the light source, and keep your hands away from your mouth so they can clearly read your lips.

Let's use these thoughtful tools to make sure everyone feels comfortably included in the conversation! 🤝🕊️

💬 Let’s connect: Have you ever used surface vibrations (like tapping a table) to greet or get the attention of a friend? Let’s share our experiences and learn from each other in the comments! 👇

Commandment #8: Place yourself at eye level. 👀🪑

When having a conversation with a friend or colleague who uses a wheelchair, our physical posture matters a lot more than we realize.

In this episode, our speaker shares a funny yet incredibly eye-opening truth about what happens when a tall person stands over him to talk. As he points out: “Imagine if you are a 6-footer and you start talking to me... and all that time I am staring at you with my neck craned up. By the time you finish your story, I already have polio and now I have a stiff neck!” 🫨😂

While we laugh at how he puts it, straining to maintain eye contact for a long time is genuinely exhausting and physically uncomfortable for wheelchair users. True inclusion means adjusting ourselves to make the other person comfortable!

💡 The Golden Rule: If a conversation with someone in a wheelchair or on crutches is going to last more than a few moments, grab a chair, sit down, and bring yourself to their eye level. It eliminates the physical strain for them and creates a much more personal, balanced, and respectful connection.

Let's pull up a chair, sit down, and connect face-to-face!

Commandment #7: Listen attentively. 👂🕊️

Communication is a two-way street, but when speaking with someone who has difficulty with speech or uses unique communication methods, real connection requires a little extra patience and attention.

In this episode, our speaker reminds us that true inclusion isn't about rushing the conversation—it’s about matching each other’s pace. She reminds us to stay natural: “Please speak in a normal speed... you don't have to shout at us.” She also shares a powerful tip for both sides: “It’s okay to ask again. It’s okay to ask people to repeat themselves.” 💬✨

True listening means giving someone the floor completely, without guessing their words or jumping in to finish their sentences for them.

💡 The Golden Rule: When talking to someone who has a speech impairment, listen attentively, don't interrupt, and patiently wait for them to finish. If you don't understand what they said, never pretend you did. Simply ask them gently to repeat it, or state back what you did understand so they can clarify. Speak in a normal tone and pace—clear and calm is always the best approach!

Let's slow down, listen with our hearts, and show everyone that their voice is worth waiting for.

💬 Let’s build a patient community: Have you ever hesitated to ask someone to repeat themselves because you didn't want to seem rude? Let’s talk about how normal and respectful it actually is to ask for clarity in the comments below! 👇

Commandment #6: Do not lean on or hang on someone’s wheelchair or mobility aid. 🛑🛞

When we spend time with friends or colleagues who use wheelchairs, it is easy to become so comfortable that we forget an essential truth: their mobility device is a part of their personal body space. In this episode, our speaker drops a massive truth bomb about well-meaning behaviors that accidentally cross the line. From people trying to "ride" along on the back of his chair to those using his footrests or wheels as a casual footstool while chatting—the impact is real. As he shares, “I know they do not have bad intentions... but they are violating the space of the person.” 😔💡

Leaning on someone's wheelchair is exactly the same as leaning on someone's shoulder without their permission. It affects their balance, control, and personal boundaries.

💡 The Golden Rule: Treat wheelchairs, walkers, canes, or crutches as an extension of the user's body. Never lean on, touch, push, or step on a mobility aid unless you have been explicitly asked to do so. The same respect applies to working guide dogs and service animals—never distract them from their job!

Let's expand our hearts, respect personal spaces, and make every interaction comfortable for everyone. 💙

💬 Let's practice respect: Why do you think it's easy for people to forget that a wheelchair counts as personal space? How can we gently remind others to respect these boundaries? Let’s talk about it in the comments below! 👇

Commandment #5: Treat adults as adults. 💼✨

It can be easy to let a person's appearance or condition dictate how we talk to them. But one of the most common oversights when interacting with individuals with developmental or intellectual disabilities is using "baby talk" or patronizing them.

In this episode, Lance (who is 26 years old) gives us a simple but profound truth. When asked whether he prefers being treated like a child or like a man his age, his answer is clear: "A 26-year-old adult." 💯🙌

True love and respect mean acknowledging someone's maturity and stage of life, regardless of their disability.

💡 The Golden Rule: Always address adults with disabilities as adults. Speak in your normal tone of voice, respect their personal choices, and never patronize them by tapping them on the head or speaking down to them.

Let's check our habits and ensure we are giving everyone the dignity they deserve!

💬 Let’s respect everyone: Why do you think people default to "baby talk" when interacting with certain PWDs? How can we help break this habit in our communities? Share your perspective below! 👇

Commandment #4: Wait until your offer of assistance is accepted. 🤝🛑

We all love to help out when we see someone who might need a hand, but good intentions can sometimes lead to unexpected discomfort if we don't slow down first.

In this episode, Kuya William shares a deeply eye-opening perspective on what it feels like to have your wheelchair handled without warning. As he explains: “They will suddenly push me without me realizing it... There are speeds in which I am uncomfortable, I feel like I'm falling.” 😟💨

A wheelchair isn't just an object—it is an extension of a person's personal space and independence. Pushing it without asking is like grabbing someone's arm and forcing them to walk!

💡 The Golden Rule: If you see someone with a disability who looks like they might need a hand, always ask first: “Can I help you?” Then, wait for their response. If they say yes, listen carefully to their instructions on how they prefer to be helped. If they say no, respect their independence and let them be!

Let’s practice respect, ask first, and give everyone the autonomy they deserve.

💬 Let’s reflect together: Have you ever accidentally jumped in to help someone before asking? How did you handle it? Let’s talk about building better boundaries in the comments below! 👇

Commandment #3: Always identify yourself and others. 👥✨

Imagine sitting in a room and suddenly feeling someone touch your shoulder or guide you, without knowing who they are or where they came from. It would startle anyone!

As our speaker beautifully points out in this clip, even people who can see get surprised when someone taps them unexpectedly. For individuals with visual disabilities, not knowing who is in the room can create unnecessary confusion and discomfort. "The blind have strong voice recognition. When you talk to them, your voice easily registers."🎙️💙

True inclusion means giving others the clarity and confidence to participate fully in a conversation.

💡 The Golden Rule: When approaching or meeting someone with a visual disability, always introduce yourself right away before making physical contact or starting a conversation. If you are with other people, make sure to introduce them too. And most importantly, let the person know when you are leaving the room or moving away so they aren't left speaking to an empty space.

Let's use our voices to create a safe, welcoming, and predictable environment for everyone!

💬 Let’s build this habit: Have you ever practiced this simple etiquette when talking to a friend or colleague who is visually impaired? Let’s share tips and learn from each other in the comments below! 👇
