Language is powerful. When we talk about people with disabilities, the most respectful approach is simple: follow their lead.
Some prefer Identity-First Language (e.g., “Autistic person”). Others prefer People-First Language (e.g., “person with a disability”). And many individuals use both.

![[Image Description: A graphic with the text “Imagine if… when you have vision loss due to age or injury, you still can work and you’ll have the tools to do your job.” Below the text, an image shows two women in a workplace setting — one seated and using a computer, the other standing beside her providing guidance. The background is light with accents of yellow and purple, and the Yes! Access logo appears in the top right corner. The hashtag #ImagineAccess is at the bottom.
