Other Person First Language websites

There are many other websites and resources that are also joining the move of enforcing person first language and even trying to ban the r-word. Here are some other websites to check out to learn even more about Person First Language :

http://www.r-word.org/

The r-word organization of my favorite advocacy website, they are trying to stop people from using the r-word (hence the name of the organization). They have a lot of videos telling you why you should stop saying the word, and even have a place where you can comment on making a pledge to stop using the r-word. Check it out and make a pledge to not say the r-word!

This it their Youtube channel:

Another website that has a lot of information on the topic is an Aboutme.com page, it has general knowledge on what to say and what not to say. It explains why some advocates are trying hard to enforce Person First Language and has many web links to other disability topics.

This website claims to be the #1 source for Person First Language, and I dont doubt them at all. This is the go-to website when it comes to Person First Language. They have a variety of presentations that have been done by the founder Kathie Snow, and they even have a schedule for when Kathie is going to present. In their homepage they have a "the world would be a better place if..." in which the founder of the author writes statements how the world be better. One of my favorite ones she posted was: "The world would be a better place if we all use People First Language, focusing on the person first, and eliminating negative, pejorative descriptors (like "special needs") that marginalize and devalue individuals."
