Understanding Your Rights as a Person with Disability
Disability rights are always there
If you have a disability, you have rights.
They apply:
- • At home
- • In public places
- • When using services
- • When talking to professionals
- • In your community
Your rights are part of who you are. They do not depend on funding, plans, or approvals.

Disability rights are about being treated fairly and with respect.
They include the right to:

- • Make choices about your own life
- • Access services and supports
- • Be included in your community

Why knowing your rights is important
Many people are not told about their rights.
This can make it hard to:
- • Speak up
- • Ask questions
- • Say when something feels wrong
When you understand your rights, you may feel more confident and prepared.
Example
If a service speaks too fast or uses difficult words, you have the right to ask them to slow down or explain things differently.
What this means for you
Knowing your rights helps you:
- • Feel more confident in everyday situations
- • Make choices that work for you
- • Speak up when something does not feel right
You do not need to be an expert. Learning over time is enough.
