[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Special needs only has a negative connotation because jerks have historically used it as an insult. I think it's better than "disabilities" which clearly implies a deficit or being less than. I am in favor of reclaiming/embracing "special needs" There really isn't going to be a better term that includes the same people.[/quote] Are you disabled? Because disability rights advocates don't agree with you and prefer the word disability over special needs. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/disability-pride-month-july-2022/[/quote] And since disabilities is already in the title, they should be satisfied. They can go forward with the knowledge that the special needs part is for others. See how simple that is. Forum title is fine as is. The endless loops about this stuff too much. Five minutes later they'll want to change it again. [/quote]
