The Authority of Persons with Disabilities (APD) promotes inclusive and respectful language when speaking and writing about persons with disabilities. This helps establish inclusion, respect and equality as core principles of communication.
This guide sets out principles, guidelines and practical examples to help individuals and organizations choose suitable terms and wording and avoid discriminatory language and stereotypes. In doing so, it supports a rights-based representation of persons with disabilities and helps create a more aware environment that respects diversity.
