[BlindResearch] Help with a question

[Haegele, Justin A.]

Hello Danielle,


As far as academic writing is concerned, it very much will depend on your field of study. If you are a social scientist, you may be able to exercise a number of different options with the language that you use. Conversely, if you are publishing in medical fields they all tend to have particular lexicons that you might use. Regarding language, I have attached a PDF that I tend to reference when discussing language in the field of adapted physical activity.


I hope you all have a wonderful weekend,

Hi Danielle thanks for your message. For me it is best to use the term totally blind. I feel that this is the term that best describes me.
