International Day of Persons with Disabilities

Breaking Down Barriers: Promoting Inclusion for All

On December 3rd, we celebrate the International Day of Persons with Disabilities. This annual observance aims to promote understanding and respect for people with disabilities, and to encourage their full and equal participation in society.

At Channel View Medical Group, we are committed to providing accessible and inclusive healthcare for all our patients, regardless of their abilities. We strive to create a welcoming environment where everyone feels valued and supported.

How can you support people with disabilities?

• Be patient and understanding.
• Use person-first language. For example, say “person with a disability” instead of “disabled person”
• Listen actively and communicate clearly.
• Offer assistance when appropriate, but avoid assuming.
• Respect their independence.

Together, we can create a more inclusive world where everyone has the opportunity to reach their full potential.
