7 Study the dictionary definition. What is the Russian for ‘disabled people’?
When you speak about people with disabilities in English, be careful with the choice of words.
Wrong words may hurt. The right words do not offend or humiliate.
Here are some recommendations:
Disabled person/people (not ‘the disabled’).
Blind person/people (only when a person cannot see anything), visually impaired (not ‘the blind’).
Deaf person/people (only when a person cannot hear anything), hard of hearing (not ‘the deaf’).
Disability n a physical or mental condition that makes it difficult for someone to do things that most people do easily, such as walk or see.
Disabled adj someone is disabled cannot use a part of their body in the way most people are able to. There’s a lift for disabled people.
