ASSESSMENT REPORT | 1.1 Explain the importance of recognising the centrality of the individual rather than the disability.Words are critical in shaping ideas, perceptions and attitudes. They can be used to reinforce existing prejudices or to liberate people from stereotypes, prejudices and misconceptions. If anyone doubts the value of this or the potential for relatively rapid change, consider the distaste with which we all now view the word “nigger”. None of us would dream of using it. Yet only a generation or two ago it was an internationally acceptable and widely used term for the individual people of an entire ethnic group in the USA; not just in use orally, it also appeared in book titles. In more recent times the Australian word “abo” to describe an aboriginal or indigenous person is considered offensive by most people and is dropping out of use. The moral Language changes, and we are capable of giving it a nudge in the right direction - even if we run the risk of being considered “politically correct” by some people or sometimes require a few extra words to make our communication acceptable. In the context of disability, negative and patronising language produces, predictably, negative and patronising images and attitudes. Words in popular use mirror attitudes in society and by changing the words we can begin to change those attitudes. Those attitudes are often the most difficult barriers
