Maybe something about different types of wheelchairs? Just because I did not know any of that before I started being more active around disability rights, and now universal access is kind of my catnip, but also accessibility devices. (Like for example, transport chairs vs. wheelchairs vs. power chairs)
Also, at least in the US, stores sometimes provide either power chairs or wheelchairs for use in the store, and maybe guidelines for etiquette around these (i.e. just because someone can walk after using it doesn't mean they are [ableist bullshit]; please if you are an employee make sure the power chairs get plugged in and recharged; idk if this is beyond the scope of your handout but why does one have to spend a gajillion spoons finding the person to unlock the magic shop wheelchairs?)
Dispelling the myth that wheelchair users = cannot walk so it can DIAF (as others have said, above)
Not creating access issues with store displays or storage or "extra tables."
"Things you can talk about to a wheelchair user that are not invasions of privacy." (hobbies, reading, music, etc)
