Clarity and Sensitivity
When we’re reporting on special education, we inevitably run up against questions about how we should refer to students with disabilities and to the disabilities themselves. For help, Kristin Gilger, an associate dean at the Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and director of the National Center on Disabilities and Journalism (NCDJ) at Arizona State University, has put together a Disabilities Language Style Guide to help navigate this minefield. The style guide is intended for journalists, communication professionals, and members of the general public who are seeking the appropriate and accurate language to use when writing or talking about people living with disabilities.
