ALT [ID Slide 9: Text Reads: People are Complex. Language is Complex. (Slide 1 of 2) "Language is a habit, and habits take some time to change. It’s okay if we make a mistake AND it’s important to make the effort to understand and use the preferred and respectful language in different disability communities. Disability communities and disabled people are not a monolith. And we, disabled people or not, are learning and changing all the time. So are our cultures and communities. So how do you stay up-to-date, given this complexity and change?.”]
ALT [ID Slide 10:"Instead of thinking of disability culture & language as something we can be trained on once and use forevermore, we can be taking steps to stay plugged in to disability communities. Attend events hosted by disability-led organizations, read articles and listen to podcasts by disabled people, stay updated and active on issues people with disabilities care about. When we connect ourselves and become part of the ongoing dialogues of disability history, culture, and community, the language will demystify itself.”]
