Text from images: Disabilities and Barriers: Small Text from images: Disabilities and Barriers: Small things you can do to help

Transit Etiquette
Please leave priority seating open, and stand if the bus is crowded, and you are able. 
There may be people on board who would stand and fight through pain or discomfort to avoid confrontation!

Remember not all disabilities are visible.

Classroom Etiquette

Please keep isles clear of bags or straps. and leave priority seating open. 
Remember some people have sensory issues, or may be distracted easily. If you are playing games on your laptop or talking, 
these things might be disruptive to people beyond simple annoyance.

Bathroom Etiquette

Remember that gender neutral washrooms might be the ONLY way that some people can use the washroom on Campus.

Please only use them if necessary! Their numbers are limited.

Hallways/walkways

(Slide 5) Since there is enough room to walk by in the top image, you might do so, but the ramp on the right would be unusable to many mobility aid users! 

This could also be: Waste bins that have fallen onto a sidewalk, or overflowing trash. Even small objects might be massive barriers to people who are less mobile than others. It doesn’t take much to be kind :)
