Hi Rob, I hear what you are saying ... and it could cause confusion... but it is a real word in the 'Urban Dictionary' (not sure if that counts?!).  Language around SEN is changing all the time in a progressive way.  (eg: toilets being 'accessible').  I like the emphasis on 'different' being positive, and you do have to have a range of different abilities when you have PD (eg: phenomenal resilience/ ability to manage fatigue/ cope with pain/ carry out physio etc etc).  I've only broached the name with one teenager so far, and she loved it.  I work with a few CYP who really don't like 'disability' as a term, and don't identify with it.  Thanks for your thoughts, Emma

Broadening this discussion out a little, this is Scope's take on it:

The "End the Awkward" videos are interesting.
