In case you have tried to access the People-First Language Handout on the website of the Texas Council for Developmental Disabilities which we reference in our blog, they are apparently currently experiencing technical difficulties with the direct link. However, you can still access the handout in a round-about way by following these steps:
1. Go to www.tcdd.texas.gov
2. In the white menu box near the top of their home page, click on the “down arrow,” scroll down to “Resources” and click on it.
3. Scroll down to “People First Language” and click on it.
4. At the far left of this page, there will be a link to download the handout as a PDF.
Thank you!
The link is working now on the TCDD home page at http://www.tcdd.texas.gov
Or you can go directly to the handout at http://www.tcdd.texas.gov/resources/people-first-language/
