Reliable health information and accessible communication matter for personal choice. This page offers general inclusion information, not medical diagnosis, treatment or advice. Consult a qualified health professional for health questions; use local emergency services in an emergency.
What this means in everyday life
The right to choose requires accessible information, respect for privacy and opportunities to participate in conversations. Asking a person which accommodations they prefer matters more than assumptions about their needs. Addressing physical, social and communication barriers is a shared responsibility.
