Special education teachers/employees. How many of you commonly see problems with using person first language among your coworkers?

In my district among special education staff we do a great job of appropriately addressing the student first and placement or disability second, and only addressing the disability or placement when necessary.

Hearing phrases like "sped kid" and "downs kid" drives me crazy. Someone once even said "your spectrum students". It's so disrespectful.

Too many cooks in the kitchen

I love my job in special education, the job may bring quite a bit of stress and exhaustion but nothing compares to the stress of the related service team. OT, PT, speech, BCBA, social worker, etc etc is really what’s killing me this year. It is 23 days into the school year and the team members all make different plans and as a result, nothing is being accomplished. And if paraprofessionals follow ie what OT says but not PT, it cause so much unnecessary conflict!
