NCDJ Releases Disability Language Style Guide in Spanish

The NCDJ disability language style guide was recently updated to contain nearly 200 words and terms commonly used when referring to people with disabilities. The Spanish translation of the guide was made possible by a grant from the Ford Foundation, which provides support for NCDJ programs and services. Both the English and Spanish versions of the disability language style guide are available in downloadable format.
