Living and Communicating with a Person with a Disability

Common reactions to a permanent form of disability, whether the person experiencing it is you or a loved one, can include fear, anger, shock, and grief. The extent to which a person feels these emotions depends mostly on how much the disability will affect their life. It is most important to remember that is alright to feel these emotions. It is even better to talk about them with people who experience similar forms of disabilities, or with a professional counselor. Bear in mind that everyone reacts to a disability in their own way. There is no right or wrong way to respond. Do your best to concentrate on what everyone can do and how to adapt to the change.
