People-first language, also called person-first language, is a type of linguistic prescription which puts a person before a diagnosis, describing what a person "has" rather than asserting what a person "is".

Answer 2

People-first language emphasizes the individuality, equality and dignity of people with disabilities. Rather than defining people primarily by their disability, people-first language conveys respect by emphasizing the fact that people with disabilities are first and foremost just that—people. Employers should use people-first language when communicating about disability issues, whether verbally or in writing. It is important to note that many people with disabilities, particularly younger people, are choosing to use “identity-first” language such as “autistic” or “disabled.” How a person chooses to self-identify is up to them, and they should not be corrected or admonished if they choose not to use identify-first language.

Below are just a few examples of the appropriate use of people-first language.
