Adding these search strings can also help to avoid offensive or inappropriate Web sites, but it will not entirely exclude them. While there have been recommendations on how to avoid pornography and Web sites that focus on the person as an object with many of the health issues discussed, this issue is of special importance in seeking information about disabilities. One of the issues is how to interact with a person who has a disability in daily encounters, at work, at home, or at school.2
That it is even necessary to talk about disability etiquette indicates how often people with disabilities are not treated as persons. Given that persons with disabilities are often treated as children or objects by persons who are well meaning, it should not come as a surprise that they are especially targeted by, or vulnerable to, persons whose intentions are not so honorable. For this reason, it may be a wise choice to include one of the following search strings as additions to your search topics.
The language or words used to search for information about disability can also be a sensitive topic. There is a great quantity of pejorative or offensive language that seems to exist solely for the purpose of verbally insulting or injuring persons with differences. In the case of persons with disabilities, preferred language has evolved over time to avoid offense. A Web site may have excellent resources or information, but use outdated language, such as housing sites that use the term "handicapped" in the name of the organization. To locate those sites, one must sometimes use the outdated language in the search. Some persons with disabilities have claimed the offensive terms as a personal badge of identity and pride, and thus you may also see Web sites in which individuals refer to themselves as "gimps," "crips," "cripples," or "wheelies." Use of the offensive terms in this manner creates passionate discussion and dissention within the community of disabled persons.1 These discussions may offer excellent information, and some such sites are included in the lists of important sites. At the same time, searching with these terms may also retrieve sites intended to offend, which is a risk of including these terms.
