I would encourage the use of "people first" language throughout this chapter. See http://www.disabilityisnatural.com/peoplefirstlanguage.htm for background information and diction choices. For example:
On page 45, there is a reference to using Q-tips for touching a touchscreen. Q-tips can break and are very small for voters with dexterity disabilities. The eraser end of a pencil is stronger and larger. Election officials may also want to include signature guides in supply bags; these devices help a voter who is blind or has low vision know where to sign his or her name. |
