Yeah, is it still "differently abled"? I remember that term changing often, trying to spin it to be more positive. What was funny to me was that I got called out in training on time for saying "special needs", which, apparently, paints them in a negative light. But then I was taught that groups of them are called "special abilities clusters". Yes, because I'm sure they like being called SACs. Teehee, sack...
