[quote=Anonymous][quote] But disability shouldn't be a word that we're afraid to say.[/quote] So, why did they change it from "disability" to "special needs?" Sorry, but "disabled" brings a very clear vision of someone who is not capable. I taught many kids with learning issues--but all of them were capable of learning. A totally new term is needed. Disabled conjures up "handicapped." There is a vast range of kids who have "special needs." Some need a little assistance and some need constant assistance. I don't have the answer, by the way--but I don't like "disabled." [/quote]
