17 - Approaching the topic of disabilities: inclusive, person-first language, with Whitney Kallenbach - a podcast by Seed & Sew

Have you seen someone with a disability in public and weren’t sure how to support your children with respectful, inclusive dialogue? We don’t want to be offensive, but we also want to help our children understand the world. Well, Whitney Kallenbach and I dove into ways to address this topic with your kiddos as well as when it varies, i.e. a child versus an adult. We had an honest conversation about questions we were both bringing to the table, along with personal experiences. Whitney works with veterans with disabilities and has a daughter who wore leg braces as a corrective device. Her experiences have changed how she intends to address this with her children. I’m so excited for you to listen in on our raw conversation about how to be inclusive, respectful, and use person first language.
