The changing nature of language

Consider the following:

1. Avoid: Disabled or handicapped. Instead try: Person with disability.
2. Avoid: Suffers from. Instead try: Has disability. 
3. Avoid: Wheelchair bound or confined to a wheelchair. Instead try: Person who uses a wheelchair or wheelchair user.
4. Avoid: Mental, crazy or mad. Instead try: Person with a mental health condition
5. Avoid: Mentally retarded. Instead try: Person with cognitive disability. 
6. Avoid: Simple, mentally disabled or mentally defective. Instead try: Person with intellectual disability or person with psychosocial disability.
7. Avoid: Brain damaged. Instead try: Person with a brain injury.
8. Avoid: Normal person or able-bodied person. Instead try: Person without disability. 
9. Avoid: Personal questions that don't relate to how a person will do their job. For example, questions about the candidate's health, if or how they acquired their disability. It's important to note that these types of questions are also unlawful and discriminatory. 
   While you avoid asking candidates personal questions: It's okay to ask relevant questions about how a person's disability might relate to doing the job. If you have a question, ask the candidate in a genuine and respectful way. For example, you might ask, "Are there any chances we need to make to the job or work space to make it more accessible?".
