Dear Everybody is a new awareness campaign from the Holland Bloorview Kids Rehabilitation Hospital aiming to remove the stigma often attached to those having a disability and providing guidance for people who may have questions on how to interact with people with disabilities.
As Holland Bloorview is a children’s hospital they provide a lot of information on interacting with children with disabilities but the information also applies to adults as well.
I believe the information gathered at deareverybody.ca is of value to those with disabilities, those who regularly interact with people with disabilities and those who rarely interact with people with disabilities.
They’ve created several a number of tip sheets targeted at specific groups:
- For Parents/Guardians: Ways you can help kids and youth with disabilities reach their goals
- For Allies: Ways you can be an ally for kids and youth with disabilities
- For Parents/Guardians: Ways you can help kids without disabilities become allies of people with disabilities
- For Employers: Ways you can create workplaces where young people with disabilities belong
- For Parents/Guardians: Ways you can help young people with disabilities find employment
- For Health-care Providers: Ways you can support kids and youth with disabilities reach their goals
- For Educators: Ways you can create classrooms where kids and youth with disabilities belong
- For Journalists and Media Professionals: Ways you can create inclusive media coverage for kids, youth, and adults with disabilities
