Document Summary

Involvement in adapted sports (ex: defi sportif) as an at or exercise specialist. Midterm 1 is on march 2. (changed date) Avoid categorizing people with disabilities as either super-achievers or tragic figures. Choose words that are non-judgemental, non-emotional, and are accurate descriptions. Avoid using (cid:862)(cid:271)ra(cid:448)e(cid:863), (cid:862)(cid:272)ourageous(cid:863), (cid:862)i(cid:374)spiratio(cid:374)al(cid:863), or other si(cid:373)ilar (cid:449)ords to des(cid:272)ri(cid:271)e a perso(cid:374) with a disability. Remember that the majority of people with disabilities have similar aspirations as the rest of the population, and that words and images should reflect their inclusion in society, except where social isolation is the focal point. Avoid references that cause discomfort, guilt, pity, or insult. Words llike (cid:862)suffers fro(cid:373)(cid:863) (cid:862)stri(cid:272)ke(cid:374) (cid:449)ith(cid:863) (cid:862)affli(cid:272)ted (cid:271)y(cid:863), (cid:862)patie(cid:374)t, (cid:862) disease(cid:863), or (cid:862)si(cid:272)k(cid:863), suggest constant pain and a sense f hopelessness. While this may be the case for some individuals, a disability is a condition that does not necessarily cause pain or require medical attention.
