Did you know that almost one billion people in the world experience some form of disability?

That’s 15% of the world’s population! In celebration of the International Day of Persons with Disabilities which falls on 3 Dec, we focus on doing it right when interacting with persons with disabilities (PWD). There may be times when we find ourselves in situations where we are not quite sure of what to say or do when we meet a PWD. For example, do you shout when you speak to someone with hearing loss? It's important to remember that they are people first.
