Let's have an honest discussion about how words reflect our beliefs and values. Learn about the do's and don'ts of disability language
Honest conversations. Are you a job seeker with a disability?
The words we use to describe disability and individuals with disabilities matter. Our word choices reflect our beliefs and signal to the world around us what we value. It is important to use language that demonstrates that disability matters.
In 2021, KPMG published an Inclusive Language Guide. Join Laura Berry from KPMG on KPMG's journey to embrace inclusive language.
