Disability Awareness: Disability Etiquette (5)

  • DO NOT assume that someone who is deaf or hard of hearing is lip reading.
  • Talk “normally.”  There’s no need to over-enunciate or shout or slow down your rate of speech (unless you know you are a speed-talker!).
  • DO NOT look away while talking to a person who is deaf or hard of hearing.
