Person-first language webinar: why should you care?
Posted by Reeve Staff in Daily Dose on May 14, 2018 # News, Events
From our friends at the Amputee Coalition:
Person-First Language
The words we use shape our perceptions and can carry meanings we don't intend -- or appreciate. All of us have our own preferences, which may differ, depending on the situation and audience.
Whether you are living with limb loss, someone caring for the community, or a loved one, please join us for a meaningful conversation.
Learn more about:
- What is person-first language?
- How does it relate to limb loss and limb difference?
- What matters to you?
- How can you talk about what language you choose?
