[DOCS] Internationalization of Impaired Persons #368

Closed vinomaster closed 5 months ago

vinomaster commented 1 year ago

Problem/Concern

The GAAD Hackathon raised the concern that the term Impaired Person is not favorable in Ireland/UK region.

Proposed Solution

Identify alternative vernacular and update all documentation and/or repo references. image

evangk6 commented 6 months ago

how about? “person with disability” / people needing accommodations

We could reply to the person and see if they have a preference?

aaronreed708 commented 6 months ago

I believe that "people needing accommodations" might be better since "person with disability" to me seems to fit what the originator said about "saying someone had a disorder" having negative connotations in the UK, Ireland.

@aaronreed708 "People needing accommodations" is an excellent suggestion.

aaronreed708 commented 5 months ago

@Kayd396 thank you for agreeing to take a stab at updating the documentation! Ping me on Slack if you need help with any of it and we can get on a call and discuss.

kris-reed commented 5 months ago

@aaronreed708 Sounds like a plan! Thank you for considering me. I should have time to look it over this weekend (4/27-28).
