Language and Disability

Language plays a powerful role in shaping our perceptions and interactions, especially regarding disability. Using the right words can foster respect and inclusion, while the wrong words can unintentionally cause harm or perpetuate stereotypes. To create a truly inclusive environment, it’s essential to understand the nuances of language and its impact on individuals with disabilities.
