Responding to the Handicapped

There is a tendency to think of people with disabilities as one group facing exactly the same challenges and to treat them as if their disabilities are the most significant thing about them. On the other hand, people with disabilities have to deal not only with their conditions, but with people who respond to them with fear, embarrassment, or condescension, as well. This program from The Doctor Is In does not try to present one "correct" way to interact with people who have special needs. Instead, it opens a path of awareness that can enable viewers to respond more easily to people with disabilities. A Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center Production. (26 minutes)
