Support Coordination Coaching Session: Using Respectful Language

Support Coordinators communicate with and about people with disabilities in all aspects of their work. Avoiding ableism and using language that aligns with and respects the preferred identity of the person is an essential skill. In this virtual coaching session, Support Coordinators will discuss guidelines for communication about and with people with disabilities, as well as having conversations to build an understanding of identity preferences among those supported. Participants must come prepared with examples and questions.
