The recommendations in these Guidelines are based on a survey of national disability organizations and individuals with disabilities. This document cannot represent every opinion, but it does acknowledge that among people with disabilities, there are two main preferences: "person-first" and "identity-first" or "identity" language. Terms are included to satisfy both options, and just as importantly, it list terms that should never be used.
CCWESTT acknowledges that our greater science, engineering, trades and technology (or SETT) community is situated on the ceded and unceded traditional territories of First Nation, Inuit, and Métis peoples from coast to coast to coast in what is known as ‘Canada’. CCWESTT fervently believes SETT is enriched through collective relations and knowledge sharing and is committed to helping enhance and build these relations. Full land acknowledgement here.
