Courtesies Toward a Blind Person

  1. If you see a person who is blind who seems to need help, offer them your assistance. Speak directly to a person who is blind, not through a third party. Identify yourself and let the person know you are talking to them. If your help is refused don't be offended.
  2. If you do assist a person who is blind, offer them your arm. Taking your arm will allow them to follow the motions of your body.
  3. As tempting as it may be to pet a guide dog, remember that dog is responsible for leading a person who cannot see. The dog should never be distracted from that duty.
