Recently two gentlemen who do not have a disability have repeatedly used the term "citizens with inabilities" when referring to people with a disability and even more recently have broadened the term to include people whose disability is acquired as a result of the ageing process under an umbrella title. What are your responses to this apparently newly coined terminology? Is this terminology acceptable to people with a disability? I would be delighted to discuss your responses with them.
