7) Y'all, it's time we talked about the term "special needs"

Please read the Instagram post as written out below:
"Why? Because it's fundamentally inaccurate. It's patronizing. And frankly, it's insulting. Many disabled people are tired of it. We're tired of seeing it, we're tired of hearing it, and we're tired of it being used in reference to us. The needs of disabled people are not special. They are not extra, nor are they exceptional. They are human. Referring to the needs of disabled people as "special" is dishonest and fails to label disability for what it is. If you need to talk about needs, call them needs. If you need to talk about needs specific to the contexts of education or employment, call them accommodations. A pair of glasses is not considered a special need. Anxiety medication or hypertension medication typically aren't either. But a wheelchair? Absolutely. It might be time to ask ourselves why that is? The language we use surrounding disability is so important. Euphemistic language like "special needs" does nothing but inspire feelings of separateness and feelings of otherness. So, it needs to go. Well, since we're dumping "special needs" out with the trash where it belongs, what should we use instead? Identity-first language or person first language will do just fine. Disabled isn't a bad word y'all. Promise! This has been a great talk. It's good that we had it. Now that we have, let's all agree to eradicate "special needs" from our collective vocabularies, ok? Cool."
