What qualities do you think are important when working as a personal assistant with a disabled person? (required): I believe the most critical qualities of a personal assistant are empathy, active listening ,patience and reliability. working with a disabled person requires understanding their perspective without making assumptions about their capabilities or preferences. Additionally , adaptability is important as needs and daily routines can shift.
