The biggest barriers people with disabilities encounter are other people in society. Disability Awareness means educating people regarding disabilities and giving people the knowledge required to carry out a job or task, thus separating good practices from poor practices. It is no longer enough just to know that disability discrimination is unlawful. Disability etiquette is a set of guidelines dealing specifically with how to approach people with disabilities and was initially created to challenge social conventions rather than to reinforce them.
