[quote=Anonymous]I can assure you, as a parent with a child with special needs, I do not go around using terminology with my friends who do not have children with special needs.  I never got the impression that any Special Needs parent posting on this thread was demanding the use of such terms.  This whole thread title was about children with Special Needs getting services or AAP.  The OP used the terms, and someone asked what it meant.  There have been many threads on various boards where I was not familiar with the terminology, and when I asked "what does x mean" people responded in a short concise way, never have I seen such criticism of the use of terminology before.  People have made it very clear that they do not want children with Special Needs with their "normal" children, so I guess OP got her/his answer.  I will say, I do not know anyone who uses the term "retard" anymore, the use of that on this thread was very surprising.  There are plenty of insensitive and derogatory terms that have been pushed out of our general vocabularies, for good reasons.[/quote]
