Disability Communication: Publications and Resources

Summary: The Disability Communication Methods and Etiquette database at Disabled World (DW) provides a comprehensive collection of resources focused on enhancing communication with individuals with disabilities. This database includes publications on appropriate language use, such as advocating for person-first language (e.g., "person with a disability" instead of "disabled person"). It also covers practical communication techniques tailored to specific disabilities, like using clear speech and visual aids for individuals with hearing impairments or intellectual disabilities. Additionally, the database offers guidance on etiquette, addressing common concerns about saying the wrong thing and providing tips on offering assistance respectfully. Examples include articles on communicating effectively with service dog handlers and ensuring accessibility in digital communications for people with visual impairments.

Searching the Academic Database: The data table below lists articles and research papers from our Disability Communication category. Some items may be updated or revised, but the table defaults to sorting by descending publication date; you can search and sort by clicking column headers (JavaScript required).

Items in this category are also distributed via our Disability Communication RSS feed.
