Respect - the positive "R word"

Since the release of the multi-million dollar film "Tropic Thunder", Special Olympics International, the Arc and many other organizations have worked to change our vocabulary to eliminate the use of the "R word" - retarded.

A Virginia parent has put together a wonderful video that focuses on respect for and honoring people with disabilities.
