Hi
The language discourse at least in our country is somewhat important
because there is only a blanket use of either disability or handicap. So
much so that people often talk about cerebral palsy and mental retardation
in same breath.
However as a researcher what interests me is whether the change in
terminology brings in any change in attitudes. Unfortunately whether you
use politically correct language or any other terminology, the state of
affairs has remained the same.
At times I wish that let me call them cripple but they have to do
something concrete.
Would love to hear from all of you
Love
Anita
