Person-First Language
People-first language emphasizes the individuality, equality and dignity of people with disabilities. Rather than defining people primarily by their disability, people-first language conveys respect by emphasizing the fact that people with disabilities are first and foremost just that—people.
An example of person-first language would be referring to someone as "a person with a disability" rather than "handicapped" or "a person who uses a wheelchair" rather than "wheelchair-bound."
