Did you know that only 5% of people who live with a disability are wheelchair users?
When improperly trained employees make assumptions because of a person’s physical appearance that may result in an ADA discrimination situation. Smart people might look different and people who appear “perfectly healthy” might live with hidden disabilities. We never know about a person’s physical and mental abilities or disabilities just by looking at them. Excellent customer service for everyone is key to a successful business.
