Wheelchair Etiquette

• Be prepared to offer assistance to people with limited use of their hands, wrists or arms.

• Ask for permission to touch a person’s wheelchair, it’s part of their personal space.

• Keep the ramps and wheelchair-accessible doors and parking spaces unlocked and unblocked.

• Wheelchair users are not equipment, do not use their wheelchair for personal use.

• Always speak directly to the person with a disability.

• Do not exclude wheelchair users from activities.
