Person first language (for example: "a child with a disability" versus a "disabled child") is used on this web site unless the document presented preexisted the movement or as a result of mistake or inadvertence. The word "disability" is used in lieu of "differently able" or other alternative; with the understanding we all have many deficits that are not currently considered disabilities only because they do not effect our ability to function at this time or in this culture.
