👨‍👩‍👧 Empowered Parenting for Stronger Families
Course overview
Lesson Overview

11.39 – Avoiding Ableist Language and Assumptions: Language shapes perception. Avoiding ableist terms means removing phrases that imply deficiency or pity. Words like “normal” or “broken” distort understanding and harm self-esteem. Parents can instead describe differences neutrally—“Your brain works differently” or “You notice details others miss.” Modeling inclusive language teaches respect at home. It also encourages others to view neurodiversity with dignity. Correcting harmful language in public becomes an act of advocacy. Over time, mindful speech reshapes cultural expectations and personal pride. Respectful communication affirms that every child deserves acknowledgment without labels that limit their humanity.
