FAQ
  People With Disabilities
What is the most appropriate current terminology for people who have disabilities?
 
Answer:
The most accepted current term for one who has a disability is "person or people with a disability." Legislation to change some of Michigan's outdated statutory language was enacted to reflect this updated language. The commission and some of its partners have produced a brochure called "What's In A Name?" which indicates appropriate disability language. Click on it to view and print the brochure or call 1-517-335-6004 voice or TTY to order free brochure.
