Disability Insights is the brainchild company of a wonderful, disabled, person who sees that the average American needs
to expand their comfort zone and knowledge base of basic etiquette.
Claire Theriot Mestepey opens the minds of ordinary people by providing entertaining and informational books, DVDs
and a fabulous seminar for any organization that wants to better their customer service to, increase their awareness of, or
hire more people with disabilities.
Disability Insights provides an eye opening seminar that teaches understanding of the many different shapes, sizes
and capabilities of people; all while breaking down stereotypes of what people with disabilities can do, by and for themselves,
as well as what they can not do. It’s more than teaching political correctness, it’s about sharing common sense.
For instance:
• Did you realize there are 54 million Americans with
Disabilities?
This large segment of the population is often overlooked; but these people, as well as their
friends, family and care-takers are vital consumers, employees and clients.
Sometimes just a handshake and a straight look in the eye will gain you the trust of a loyal client, a dedicated employee
or a lifetime relationship with the family of the same.
The seminar covers interesting topics
such as how to interact with people who have common disabilities, such as:
•
Hearing Loss
• Speech Impairment
• Cerebral Palsy
•
Blindness
• Epilepsy
• Mental Challenges
•
Wheel or Mobility Chair-Bound
Included
in the seminar:
• A review of some of the different kinds
of disabilities;
• The Do’s & Don’ts of
interacting with people with disabilities;
•
A presentation of Ms. Mestepey’s DVD on the subject;
•
A series of useful handouts for further study or additional education;
And
each attendee will receive a copy of Ms. Mestepey’s book, “My Walker and Other Glamorous Accessories”.
