The Relationship Between Disability and Handicap
I got into this really interesting conversation the other day with a colleague about her struggles living with a disability. Much of it has more to do with how society views her disability than anything else, and especially the language used to describe her. Many people don’t realize that it isn’t okay to use the word ‘handicap’ and it is preferred to use people with disabilities. I went online and found a lot of discussions just on the differences between disability and handicap. This video does a good job of explaining the issue.
