The Better Communication postcard series provides practical tips to help people feel more comfortable and confident about interacting with people with a disability.
The series of six postcards feature people of different age, sex and a range of different disabilities and use humour to highlight common misunderstandings and potential barriers to communicating with people with a disability.
The postcards are part of a series of publications available from the Department of Communities (Disability Services) to encourage people to make Queensland a more supportive place for people with a disability.
If you would like copies of the Better Communication postcards, contact your local Disability Services office.
Relax. People with a disability are just people
Don't make assumptions about people with a disability
Just because a person has one disability, doesn't mean they have another
People with a disability have their own way of doing things. Ask before you help
Speak directly to the person with the disability - not to their carer or interpreter
