Building communication with people with various types of disabilities
The Ministry of Welfare has developed recommendations for communicating with people with various types of disabilities.
The Inclusive Environment Guide has been created with the aim of improving public services and setting an example for state and local government institutions to become a model of inclusive environments in Latvia and abroad, so that as many people with disabilities as possible can work and receive services on an equal basis with others, without barriers and in an inclusive environment. The recommendations are summarized by type of disability. It explains what is needed for people with specific types of disabilities, how to act and what to avoid when communicating with such people.
