Mentally Retarded, Mentally Handicapped,
Developmentally Disabled....In
the English speaking world many different terms are used to refer to those who
live at the level of their hearts because of intellectual disability. Language
is constantly shifting and this reflects attempts to respect and acknowledge the
value of people with disabilities which put them at a severe disadvantage in our
societies. -Therese Vanier
People
First Language Our words reflect the way we think, so
let's get rid of descriptors like "mentally handicapped, physically disabled,
mentally retarded, learning disabled" and other words that focus on the
condition instead of the person. People First Language promotes dignity and
respect for all!
The Microsoft Accessibility Website at
www.microsoft.com/enable/ provides information
about accessible technology to help improve the lives of people with
disabilities by making computers a positive force in employment, education and
recreation. The information on this site benefits people with disabilities and
their friends and family members, people in outreach organizations, educators
and advocates.
Life is a gift. Each one of us is unique, known
by name, and loved by the One who fashioned us. Unfortunately, there is a very
loud, consistent, and powerful message coming to us from our world that leads us
to believe that we must prove our belovedness by how we look, by what we have,
and by what we can accomplish. - from Adam, God's Beloved by
Henri Nouwen
