People need to always ask before acting.People with disabilities may find it greatly offensive.<br /> <br /> '''Do not assume that a person who has one disability also has some other problems'''.It is wrongly assumed that a person who has cerebral palsy is also mentally impaired.<br /> <br /> '''Do not assume that a person with a disability is looking for pity or sympathy for himself'''. Many people assume that their life is unhappy and so every one should feel sorry for them.<br /> <br /> '''Do not assume that a person with a disability easily gets offended'''. Most people with disabilities have, over the years, learned tolerance and have developed a thick skin when it comes to how others deal with their disability. They have learned to not get upset at someone's first offense.<br /> <br /> '''Do not assume that a person with the person with a disability is in need of an attendant.''' We need to assume the opposite, particularly when talking. Always talk to the person with the disability instead of through their companion.</div>
