In this episode, Dr. Sara Acevedo gives us insight into the person-first and identity-first language debate, and explains how language perspectives are connected to historical context of perceptions of disability. She also dives into the difference between disability rights and disability justice. Finally, Dr. Acevedo leaves us with many resources, names of books, and individuals, disability activists, speaking and non-speaking, who have stories to tell and things to teach us.
