Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Person-first language emphasizes the person and not their disability, so "child with autism" is the best choice out of the given options.

Answer: C and D are both incorrect. "The blind girl" and "the Downs kid" both put the disability before the person, which is not using person-first language.

Answer: A is also incorrect. "Intellectually disabled" falls under the category of "identity-first" language, which some individuals or groups may prefer, but it is not considered person-first language.
