In this thought-provoking episode of "Caregiving Unboxed," hosts Shari Bailey and Michael Nash dive deep into the evolving language surrounding special needs and disabilities. Titled "Caution: Words Ahead. Practicing Mindfulness in Vocabulary," the discussion focuses on outdated terms that have historically been used to describe individuals with special needs and disabilities and the importance of moving away from them in today’s society.
Join us as we explore how the words we choose can impact the lives of individuals and their families, fostering a culture of respect and inclusion. Our hosts emphasize the significance of being mindful in our conversations and communications, aiming to create a more understanding and supportive environment for all.
Tune in to learn about the power of language, gain insights into more respectful alternatives, and discover how we can all contribute to a more compassionate dialogue around caregiving and disability. Let’s unpack the vocabulary that shapes our perceptions and make a commitment to speak with intention and kindness.
