Individuals with disABILITIES: Let's Start with Awareness
Individuals with disabilities, is the correct phrase; not disabled people. These individuals don't have "special" needs, they simply have "different" needs. There is a large majority of individuals with disabilities in the Richmond region. They face accessibility challenges and improper etiquette on a daily basis.

Carolyn Trimmer, Compliance Specialist, The Greater Richmond ARC
