1. People with Disabilities Living in a "Normal” World Overcoming Annoyancesمضايقة • Dr. RamezNaguibBedwani

2. Types of healthy people that may be encountered by disabled persons: • What can be more frustrating than reality are subtle realities for people with disabilities. • Living with disability is difficult but can be even more when people encountered are:

3. 1-Impatient. • 2-Demanding. • 3-Insensitive. • 4-Inconsiderate. • 5-Pessimistic. • 6-Unhelpful.

4. 1-Impatientملول . • Impatient people try to rush people with disabilities through life. • “A man who was behind me in the supermarket line tried to unload my cart for me, it was obvious I was moving too slow for him in this fast-paced world we live in”

5. 2-Demanding بيشغل من حوله: • demanding people and those who lack understanding about disability can also be provoking • “ a pt. had a surgical procedure which restricted his driving for a period of time. His mother called to tell him she needed to go shopping, disregarding the restrictions that were given to him. • He had to tell his mother he couldn't help her”.

6. 3-Insensitive يجرح و غير حساس: . • insensitive people are often found staring at people with disabilities. • They seem to not like what they see, and can not imagine themselves in the role of the disabled person. • It creates an uncomfortable situation unless you ignore the person who is staring

7. 4-Inconsiderate: لا يراعى • Inconsiderate people can be found using handicapped bathroom, parking spots, or facilities specifically designated for people with disabilities. • Inconsiderate people do not hold doors open, a simple action that can make things much easier for a disabled person.

8. 5-Pessimisticمتشائم : • Pessimistic people focus on the negative aspects of having a disability instead of trying to build up, encourage, and praise the accomplishments of people with disabilities. • Pessimistic or negative people don't want to learn about the realities of living with disability. They have fixed ideas and treat physically disabled people as if they are faking or lazy. • Even worse, they sometimes treat physically disabled people as if they have no abilities at all.

9. 6-Unhelpfulغير مساعد • For able-bodied people, most tasks are effortless. The same task for a disabled person is perhaps an impossibility. • Changing light bulbs or air conditioner filters, scrubbing showers, getting a large load of groceries and many other parts of daily living. Who does it for the disabled person?
