Even while we work to reduce the use of the term ‘special’, this campaign in no way undermines general support for the IDEA and other disability-related laws and policies that provide supports and services for people with disabilities.
Even while we work to reduce the use of the term ‘special’, this campaign in no way undermines general support for the IDEA and other disability-related laws and policies that provide supports and services for people with disabilities.
This campaign is supported with funding from the New Hampshire DD Act partners – the Institute on Disability at the University of New Hampshire, Disability Rights Center – NH, and the NH Council on Developmental Disabilities. Together, these partners support people with disabilities as they participate in all aspects of community life.

“Calling my needs ‘special’ reinforces the idea that disabled people are burdens and that people and organizations are right to deny us basic access because it is ‘too hard’ to meet our needs.”
