| Critiques of the term disabled child/child with a disability | Disabled could be seen as a negative word - differently abled was a term used in 1980's as a more positive way of looking at disability Older family members/different cultures may call disability words that used to be acceptable but are now not e.g handicapped Shows children and families may have their own word to describe their child's condition and it is important to be aware of this as what one family finds acceptable another family may find offensive.
