Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The best choice when communicating with a person in a wheelchair is to sit or squat to talk to the person. This shows respect and equality, as it puts the communicators at eye level with each other. Leaning on the wheelchair or patting the person on the head are disrespectful and invasive, while looking over the person's head demonstrates a lack of interest and acknowledgement of the person's presence.
