Discuss the language we use to talk about persons with disabilities (e.g., disability vs. handicap, person-first language as in child with learning disabilities rather than learning disabled child). 

What are some terms once used regarding persons with disabilities that would be considered derogatory today (dull, slow, idiot, deaf/dumb, retarded), and how do these terms impact both the disabled individual and the non-disabled person who hears/use these terms?
