Today is 2021 International Day Of People With Disability. It is a day to celebrate the achievements and contributions made of people with disability and examine what can improve.
Australia’s peak national cross disability advocacy organisation called PWDA has published a updated communication guide from people with disability on the language used to describe their situation. https://pwd.org.au/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/PWDA-Language-Guide-v2-2021.pdf
It helps to bring communities closer and foster respectful and inclusive conversations, as well as reducing stereotypes.
Happy 2021 International Day of People with Disability.
