In Canada, in 2006, almost four and a half million people reported having a disability. Despite the large numbers, today there are still many people who are not comfortable communicating with a person who has a disability, whether in the workplace or in a social setting.

The information contained in this book primarily addresses etiquette with respect to meeting and communicating with persons who have vision, hearing and mobility disabilities.  It is not intended to address the full range of other types of disabilities.
