Hi,
I am sure you all know this but,
It is a charity, so by them using the word Handicapped it is, keeping up the
message of cap in hand. it is keeping up the charity model. after all, Mrs.
quinns shops are charity shops for the national council for the blind.
you would use Disability rather than Handicapped?
well we are not disabled because we are blind!
you see, handicapped doesn't say to me slow, retarded or anything like that!
Handicapped totally is using the charity model in my view. also, I know in
the states you still see the term visually handicapped used.
well just my opinion.
Sabrina

In my opinion disability sounds better than a handicap, but that's once
again my personal opinion.
The alternative terms to a term handicap in our case might be words such as
blindness or vision impairment. What do the rest of you think?
