Being Aware of Ability
How we communicate about people with disabilities has often been driven by people outside of the disability community. In recent decades, disability advocates have pushed for person-first language. Person-first language puts the person before their disability or diagnosis.
The goal of this course is to teach non-licensed direct care workers in post-acute settings about person-first language and how it shapes our communication.
