Accessibility Tip of the Day

“Behavior is Communication!” When you see someone acting differently or in a way that is confusing, try to understand that he may be communicating messages such as fear, anxiety, pain, confusion, happiness, anger, hunger, or many other messages.

IDEAS:

  • Consider the possible “hidden message” in the behavior before you respond.
  • Respond with a comforting word, a choice between several options, or change what you are doing.
