Hearing the definitions of disabled, from 1982 and 2009, shocked me. The field of occupational therapy has tried to rid the negative characteristics associated with the words from the vocabulary of the world. Maybe they started in the wrong place, maybe the definition of disabled should have be changed first. That way schools would not be teaching harsh words that are incorrect in describing disabled. Studies exit that show the effects of name calling and the psychological effects it has on a person. By calling an individual a name we are limiting them on what they can do, without meaning too. However, for some this categorizing gives motivation to succeed. An example would be Amiee Mullins, she did not know the definition of disabled. Now that she does shew wants to change the way people are viewing the definition. The difference in how we view and react to the definition depends on what stage of life we are in and how our brain views it.
