Please note: it is very improper to describe individuals and groups by their disability. For example: Jeff is blind; Jack is deaf or having categories or groups for the Deaf/Blind. We should strive for the "People First" practice.

Jeff has low vision or Jack has poor or low hearing.

I have no strong views either way, but in some fields, certainly autism and deafness, there is an ongoing debate about "person-first language" vs "identity-first language". Jonathan (talk) 15:02, 14 January 2022 (UTC)
