Explain using person-first language when describing a characteristic of an individual
In general, counselors should use person-first language putting emphasis on the individual rather than the condition. Referring to an individual as a diabetic, a paraplegic, or a disabled person defines the person by the condition or disability. Instead, an individual should be referred to as a person with diabetes, for example.
