💬 Finally, be prepared to use your voice. When you see examples of ableism or inaccessibility, say something. And work to identify and break any biases you might have, too.
3. Speak out. If you see prejudice or discrimination, speak up. And challenge your own biases about disability, too.

✍️ Next, take time to reflect and recognise the benefits you might experience in society as a non-disabled person. And use that gained understanding to work towards equality for everyone.
2. Self-reflect. Recognise the benefits you experience as a non-disabled person and learn how to champion disabled people's rights.

👂 Take the time to learn from disabled people and about what is important to them. And be prepared to let go of your old assumptions. It's a crucial first step in becoming a better ally.
1. Listen. Listen to disabled people about the issues affecting them. And don't make assumptions.
