Nothing About Us Without Us

Published: Wed, 02/01/23

The "nothing about us without us" movement rightly asserts that disabled people be included in all matters which influence their lives – instead of decisions being made on their behalf.

With this in mind, instead of me summarizing our recent live show, The Why Behind Identity–First Language (IFL) and People–First Language (PFL), here are some of the insightful comments from our audience.

See what questions/thoughts come up for you as you read these.

P.S. You've probably received two Progress Reports for your child by now. Did you get enough information to know how much progress your child has been making?

If you said, "Are you kidding me? All I ever see is a P for Progress or NP for No Progress. I don't know anything about how my child is doing."

Do I have a video for you. Progress Reports: The Good, Bad, and Ugly. I bet you have a friend or two that needs to see this video also.
