I thought all of them were okay, but I guess not?

Just a reminder, D emphasizes the person first, not the condition.

Wait, is "confined to a wheelchair" really that bad?

I feel like "brain damaged" is definitely not People First Language, but I can't remember if it's D or something else.

I'm not entirely sure, but I think "He is disabled" sounds too limiting compared to the others.

I remember practicing with similar questions, and I feel like "confined to a wheelchair" isn't the right approach.

I think People First Language emphasizes the person before the disability, so maybe it's D?

I've learned about people-first language before, so I think I can spot it here. Gotta be careful though, the wording can be tricky.

Okay, let me think this through. People-first language puts the person before the disability, so I'm looking for an option that does that. I'll read through them carefully.

Hmm, I'm not totally sure about this one. I know people-first language is important, but I'm not confident I can identify it correctly in these examples.

This question seems straightforward. I think the key is to identify which option uses people-first language.

Ooh, People First Language, huh? Sounds like a fancy way of saying 'don't be a jerk when talking about someone's disability.' Good to know!

C) She is confined to a wheelchair. Hmm, this one's a bit tricky. I guess it's better to say 'uses a wheelchair' to avoid implying the person is 'confined'.
