Use ‘disabled,’ not ‘handicapped’ With the recent - TopicsExpress

Use ‘disabled,’ not ‘handicapped’ With the recent controver­sy over the questionable liti­gation pertaining to the Americans With Disabilities Act and the closure of vari­ous commercial enterprises, the dialog used in the dis­cussions is troubling. The term “handicapped” has been used time and time again. It is important when discussing the topic of acces­sibility to use the term “dis­abled” in lieu of “handi­capped.” The word “handicapped” is not used the ADA law text nor in any related accessibil­ity codes used in designing accessible buildings and sites. People with disabilities are not handicapped, they have disabilities that make it diffi­cult if not impossible to access places so as to partici­pate in activities where they can work, relax and social­ize. With the passage of the ADA in 1990, access to activities and facilities that many of us take for granted are now available to the dis­abled. The disabled community has much to offer, but with­out access, they are unable to share their knowledge and talents. So when discussing acces­sibility issues, and we need to do more of it, the ADA stands for “Americans with Disabilities Act” — not “Handicapped Americans Act.” Scott R. Baker McKinleyville
