How can I make someone with a disability understand that he/she is needed and important to society?

I myself am disabled. It can be hard not understanding or seeing a need for yourself in modern society. Just rember that you are human like everyone else. :)

I am disabled.Just letting the person know they have worth and trying to understand their disability helps alot.Offering support,help if needed,showing you care and listening when needed helps also.:)

Just be nice to the person! Listen carefully to them, especially if there is a speech impediment. Encourage them to participate in society's everyday activities, such as work and voting whenever possible. Open doors for them, and be ready to help with other mobility challenges such as tough terrain. Talk to instead of over or about the person. A small amount of basic kindness and etiquette goes a long way in helping people feel important!

Your body doesn't define your capability as a human being. Everyone has an equal opportunity to bring something amazing to this world, and even though there may be physical barriers, in the end, it is what one does that reflect their character, not their body.

This is such a beautiful question, I am proud of you for starting a conversation on inclusion. I think you can show them how much you value them in your actions and responses to them. Accept them as they are and that their contributions are worthy and valuable. Make sure the spaces that you meet in are accessible and ask them specifically what you can do to make accessibility and inclusion a priority to them. Call out posts and information that might be hurtful to them, and uplift their voice and the voices of other disabled perspectives. Make sure you don't treat "disability" like a bad word.
