Talk:Special needs

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Derogatory

I think there should be an entry on how this is a derogatory term - at least it is were I am from, as people with these problems hate the term. I just don't know where to fit it in. Any help would be apreciated.

And this is true as in my line of work I deal with them very closly. MJN SEIFER 21:21, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

A note about derogatory connotations can be included if reliable sources can be found to demonstrate derogatory usage, but content in articles can't be sourced to anecdotal experiences. So a first step towards including this content would be locating articles, reports, and/or dictionary entries that discuss "special needs" as a derogatory term. --Muchness 22:09, 14 September 2007 (UTC)
