Classroom Suggestions Focus on the person rather than the
disability Avoid “super achiever” and other
stereotypes Avoid terms of pity such as “afflicted
with” or “suffers from” and generic labels like “the disabled”
Use people first language such as “boy with intellectual disabilities”
View this video about using the “R Word” to describe people with disabilities

More Classroom Suggestions Use language that affirms ability such as
“uses a wheelchair” rather than “wheelchair bound”
Use correct terminology rather than euphemisms
Don’t confuse disease with disability Portray people with disabilities as active
participants in life and in society

Service Delivery TeamsMultidisciplinary teams
Mandated by PL 94-142 and IDEA (2004). Multidisciplinary teams are typically formed of professionals across various disciplines that independently conduct their own evaluations. This type of team is not as collaborative as other types of teams.
Interdisciplinary teams Evolved from the fragmented approach of multidisciplinary
teams. Team members conduct their evaluations separately collaborate. Families may meet with the entire team or with a representative.
Transdisciplinary teams Professionals conduct their evaluations and additionally
teach their skills to the other team members. A team leader, often an educator, is chosen to serve as the primary interventionist. The transdisciplinary model provides a more coordinated and unified approach.

Universal Design for LearningUniversal Design for Learning (UDL)
can be simply stated as “the design of instructional materials and activities that allows the learning goals to be achievable by individuals with wide differences in their ability to see, hear, speak, move, read, write, understand English, attend, organize, and remember.”
(Orkwis & McLane, 1998, p. 9)
