People soon responded to Brown’s solicitation for advice in the comments.

One person said the disability community needs more spaces that are accessible for people in wheelchairs.

“Being in a wheelchair, I find that a lot of places I go aren’t that handicap friendly,” she said. “They need more handicap parking, ramps and automatic door openers.”

Another person said physical descriptions of images and videos can help those who are blind use text-to-speech features on their phones, which tell someone what’s going on in the photo or video.

“I’m hard of hearing and I’m so used to using captions that I find it hard to enjoy going to the movies and watching videos who don’t supply captions for me,” said another. “So this is amazing – thank you!”

One more said: “I work closely with many families who have disabilities and one thing I hear over and over is the lack of respect in using parking spots/bathrooms etc that are designed for those who need it.

“It’s a simple thing that we can all do, respect those spots/places. It’s not OK, not even for a few minutes.”

Others, recognising Brown’s use of both “people with a disability” and “disabled people” thanked him for using both identity and person-first language.

“Many of us disabled people/people with disabilities feel that our disabilities do define us, although not in a negative way,” wrote one. “We want to take ownership of our identities so use identity first language. For other identities we use adjectives, for instance ‘I’m bisexual’, not ‘a person with bisexuality.’”

Another said: “In the field of occupational therapy, we learn to use people first language. So it would be people with a disability. Instead of a deaf or blind person, it would be a person with a hearing or visual impairment. In OT, we strive to see the person first, not the disability.”

Above all else, though, there was one simple piece of advice which all of us could stand to learn from.

“Just make sure to listen to disabled people,” it read.
