“…The final sample included 146 children with DS, 604 children with mental retardation but without DS, and 95 454 children from the general population without either condition. Although, the currently accepted terminology for mental retardation is "intellectual disability," 36 we use the term mental retardation in the tables and text because this was the specific term used in the NHIS.…”

“…In considering dignified ways of referring to the disability of an adult, the issue of political correctness warrants some attention. Political correctness in terms of the names used to refer to a disability generally pertains to bending the language for political or ideological ends (Turnbull et al 2002). Political correctness is somewhat pervasive in the developmental disabilities field, and behavior analysts have not always been politically correct in their naming practices (Foxx 1996).…”

In this article, the authors offer recommendations for behavior analysts on how to treat adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) with dignity. Initially, the importance of treating adults with disabilities with dignity is emphasized in terms of the impact on people with IDD, their family members, behavior analysts and other service providers, and the behavior analysis field in general. The recommendations are based primarily on the authors' professional and personal experiences along with similar experiences of others involved either personally or professionally in the disability field. The focus is on ways in which behavior analysts speak and behave that reflect dignity versus the lack thereof as perceived by others and, where relevant, consensus opinion within the professional field of IDD. Ways for behavior analysts to acquire and maintain awareness of manners of speaking and behaving that reflect dignity within the local settings in which they work are also provided.

“…Tal como advogado por Santos e Morato (2010), a mudança de terminologia é uma necessidade emergente no contexto das populações até agora identificadas e classificadas como tendo Deficiência Mental, e deverá considerar um nome que identifique as características da problemática, a sua funcionalidade (e não incapacidade) que tenha em consideração que as limitações podem variar de sujeito para sujeito, ao mesmo tempo em que seja o menos estigmatizante possível. E, de acordo com as teorias, mais atuais, evidenciando a necessidade de apoios (e não dos déficits), tendo como subjacente a ideia de evolução e capacitação (vs. incapacidade -GELB, 2002;TURNBULL et al, 2002;BAROFF, 2003;GLIDDEN, 2003). Da mesma opinião, Snell e Voorhees (2002), reforçam a necessidade de uma nova nomenclatura com uma conotação mais positiva!…”

A nova concepção e terminologia adotada pela língua inglesa no contexto da ainda designada "deficiência mental" parece ter alcançado um consenso estável e satisfatório face às expectativas que a sociedade deve esperar das populações com esse diagnóstico, enfatizando agora o impacto que as exigências do envolvimento detém no desenvolvimento individual, reforçando-se, assim, a necessidade emergente da alteração de mentalidades e atitudes para com estas populações. Para este efeito, o presente artigo introduz uma nova proposta de alteração da terminologia em português de deficiência mental/intelectual para "dificuldade intelectual e desenvolvimental", explicitando e fundamentando as razões para a mesma.
