Respectfully, I disagree, & I hope that we start moving away moving away from using such language. Many disabled people find #specialneeds offensive, as it sets the discourse around is what non-disabled people find comfortable, as opposed to what disabled people want (1/3) https://twitter.com/EoinMcGee/status/1351636919424348161

on a more fundamental level, this language frames disabled people as objects of pity or charity, rather than as having rights. As a society, it shows the need to centre conversations about disability on disabled people, and to hear from more disabled voices. #SayTheWord (2/3)

As a final point, its really important to note that every issue is a disability rights issue, disability rights issues impact everyone. It's essential that society takes "Nothing about us, without us" to heart and include disabled people across every fabric of society. (3/3)
