One of tbe examples I used was n

ed a method for dealing with such a

happening,1 began to de all the talking. I
didn't give my friends's. order, but I gave
my Own order-km(11Y, clearly, and in great
. detail. I asked for the second cup of coffee
and what was aVailable for dessert.
Sometime1 let the waitress recite the
whole list of desserts, even though I
already knew what 1 wanted. (I did it for
spite; I never suggested 1 was a saint.)
1 asked for the cheque and even paid for
the meal. (My friend paid her share under

Our purpose was to make the WaitreSS
interact with me and to help her realize 1
was no different from any other customer,
In most eases, by the time we left, the
waitress, was talking with me in a more
relaxed manner, I'm not naive enough to
believe 1 changed her whole attitude
toward handicapped people; I just hope she
wasn't quite as stunned the' next titne a
handicapped person cameinto the restaur-
ant.
Mthough the above situation can be
frustrating and embarrassing for everyone
involved, it is usually caused by misunder-
standing and. can be handled on a
•one-to-one basis. As one person_ put it:
"When you're handicapped', you don't just
go halfway to make yourself accepted. You

The federal government has legislation
which prohibits discrimination on grounds
of physical disability in the area of
employment. The provincial government*
of Nova Scotia and Prince dward islat4
have similar legislation.
Manitoba and New Brunswick prohibit
.discrimination on ground of physical
disability in areas of employment, public
accoMmodations, services and facilities,
property rental and occupancy, and
publications, signs, display of various
representations etc:,
British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatche-
wan, Ontario, Quebec, Newfoundland,
Northwest Territories and Yukon, as yet,
have no such iegisIation-
Handicapped assoCiations across, Canada
are lobbying to have the federal legislation
ex tended, while associations in Ontario
and other provinces. are lobbying to have
the physically disabled included in Human
Rights Codes.
One in; seven persons in Ontario alone
has a physical disability; the physically
disabled are finally being recognized as a
minority grotto which is entitled to
protection, under the Human Rights Act.
Changes in legislation come painfully slow.,
In the meantime, respect for each
other's differences and acceptance of each
other's equality must begin at .the grass
roots' level on a one-to-one basis.
