Introductory

This website is about learning how to use Person First Language in your every day vocabulary. Person First Language, is the politically correct way to talk about people with disabilities. People seem to forget that people with disabilities, are after all, people. People with disabilities are often categorized by the disability they have, i.e. "that person is down syndrome" or "that person is retarded".

So why is that important to you? Because without you, we're going to be stuck using the same primitive, vulgar, and offensive language. Because if you don't start right now, labeling people as people first instead of their disabilities, they're always going to seen as being "retarded" (or any other negative connotation verb) instead of what they are: people. Like you and me.

Take the quiz, educate yourself and spread the word.
