Tim Shriver, chairman and CEO of Special Olympics, held his own last night with Stephen Colbert of The Colbert Report talking about ending use of the r-word. Great awareness. Great exposure. Kennedy hair.
Love him!
For those who still aren't aware, the currently acceptable term (replacing the r-word) is intellectual disabilities, chosen by the athletes themselves.
Personally, I love using people's names.
It's about respect for all, especially for this often forgotten population.
