Recognizing ableist language

- Being more inclusive in our communication means also being mindful of expressions that make light of disabilities. It may not be our intention to cause harm when we say things like, "Turn a blind eye," but it's easy to make a swap to another expression, like "overlook" or "oversight." It's a small change that can make a huge difference, and each time we make a minor adjustment to our speech in this way, we're also making a conscious effort to respect the experiences of others. When we're describing challenging situations at work, Using expressions like "crazy" or "insane" can easily be swapped with "wild" or "unbelievable." That way, we don't inadvertently stigmatize or make light of mental health. Being mindful of our word choices, we can create a more inclusive and respectful environment for everyone.
