The words we choose to say show what our attitudes are. When you re describing a person who has a disability, you need to remember that we are all people first. It gets on my nerves when I hear that ugly word. I believe using that word shows an attitude that people with disabilities can t do some things. We must learn to change our language and stop believing people with disabilities are different from anyone else.
Disability is natural.
We must stop believing that disabilities keep a person from doing something. Because that s not true. I am thirteen years old and have a disability myself. I have cerebral palsy and I think of it as no big deal. I have earned two karate belts.
