We value your identity

Preferences regarding identity-first and person-first language are varied and evolving in the disability community. Student Accessibility Services celebrates individuals’ power to choose how they wish to identify, and we endeavour to respect those choices in our interactions with students and the Brock community. Currently, our public-facing communication uses person-first language but we address individuals according to their preferences.
