About Centennial


Established as Toronto's first public college in 1966, Centennial College offers programs in business, communications, community and health studies, science and engineering technology, general arts, hospitality and transportation.

Some of the best tips for providing better customer service to people with disabilities are the simplest. Here are a few positive examples:

Ask "May I help you?"
If you're not sure how to help a person with a disability, ask "May I help you?" People with disabilities know if they need help and will tell you how you can provide it.

Speak directly to the person
If you can't understand what the person is saying, politely ask them to repeat it.

Understand their needs
Try to understand the person's needs. Focus on meeting those needs as you would with anyone.

Don't assume
Remember, some disabilities are non-visible and not everybody with the same disability experiences the same things.

Above all... be patient.
