Using People-First Language
Respectfully use people-first language when referring to an individual with an illness or disability. By putting the person first (proper name, or child, man, woman, etc.) and the disability next, you focus on who the person is and then note what the person has: "child with Down syndrome" NOT "Down syndrome child."
