The “r” Word Campaign © 2007-2015, Rick & Wanda Felty – online since April 2007
I have a 25 year old son with Down Syndrome. I’m glad to finally see a national effort to encourage greater sensitivity in our language. We all have blind spots and areas where we are just clueless. But with some gentle reminders and the concerted effort of a campaign like this, we can make real progress. Thank you
Thank you so much for this website. I have a son with a form of autism, a seizure disorder, and other developmental delays. He is hurt on a weekly basis by other kids throwing the “R” word at him and I’m just happy to know that I’m not the only one who is bothered by it. Education is the key!
thank you for your site & your products!
ever since I was a child I have Hated the ‘R’ word, and have Always taught my 7 children
that it is a word Not Allowed in our home or out of their mouths…
to me it is as bad as a swear-word, and they know it!
thankfully, they are all growing into decent & compassionate kids who always stand up for
others, particularly anybody ‘different’ in any way. my middle-schooler has even made it ‘cool’
to stand up for those who can’t or won’t for themselves.
turns out there was an excellent alternate reason that I raised them this way…
our middle child, Zack, was Finally diagnosed with Asperger’s Syndrome a year ago,
and his six sibs are well-equipped to stand up for him & next to him with their heads
held high and their hands in his!
Keep Up the Great Work!
