Yolonda, Interestingly, you used just the right terminology to make your point without specifying the point. You speak of "people with disabilities" rather than falling into more common usage of "the disabled". A number of years ago there was a great push to use "people-first language" -- which you did. In so doing, you establish that they are PEOPLE first, and that the disability is descriptive, not definitive (kind of like saying "people with freckles"!)). It is a great way of reminding us that disability does not limit the individual's status or inherent potential! Dr. Jane Jarrow
