See the person, not just their impairment Try not to make assumptions Unsure or need to know something? Ask!

Transcript- Wheelchair Scene- The man is a wheelchair user and he is on a busy high street. He is the man speaking to camera. I don’t want your pity, your sympathy. I don’t want you staring at me constantly and saying aahh, the poor disabled guy in the wheelchair, what a shame. I don’t want you to feel the need to turn away from me either.

If we see the wheelchair first, we may not see the person. If we focus on a person's impairment, how will we ever know them?’
