Sticks & StonesThink back to a time when someone hurt you with verbal sticks and stones. Think about a word/phrase to describe how that impacted you.

Language Influences Our Perceptions
“Language is not only a means of communication, but it shapes the way people perceive and experience the world.” Sherrill, 1993

People First Language

When reframing our language, the meaning behind the phrase remains the same, but the word choice is different.
People First Language:– Acknowledges person before the disability– Describes what diagnosis a person “has” but not as who that person “is”– Avoids descriptors that perpetuate negative stereotypes
“People First Language reflects good manners, not ‘political correctness’ and it was started by individuals who said ‘We are not our disabilities’.”
