Use right terminologies when describing persons with disabilities

We should try to know and use the right terminology while talking or writing about issues of persons with disabilities. The said UN Convention on Rights of Persons with Disabilities decided which terminology should be used and also Rwandan laws prescribe the use of “persons with disabilities, either mental, physical, or visual”. Handicap or disabled are no longer used. They have other meanings which degrade persons with disabilities.
