Section 38-9C-2 Legislative findings. The Legislature finds that services to persons with developmental
disabilities and traumatic brain injury must be based on individual need, provided by appropriately
qualified individuals, and available to persons with developmental disabilities in community
environments. Services should be provided in a way which is normalizing as well as respectful
of the rights, feelings, and responsibilities of each person with a disability. Services should
also focus on enabling individuals to maintain responsibility for setting their own goals,
directing their own lives, and acting responsibly as members of their community. Persons who
have disabilities shall not be deprived of any right, benefit, or privilege guaranteed by
law, the Constitution of Alabama of 1901, or the Constitution of the United States without
due process of law. (Acts 1995, No. 95-690, p. 1502, §2.)...

Section 29-5A-25 References to individuals with disabilities. (a) The Legislature recognizes
that language used in reference to individuals with disabilities shapes and reflects society's
attitudes towards people with disabilities. Many of the terms currently used diminish the
humanity and natural condition of having a disability. Certain terms are demeaning and create
an invisible barrier to inclusion as equal community members. The Legislature finds it necessary
to clarify preferred language for new and revised laws by requiring the use of terminology
that puts the person before the disability. (b) The Legal Division is directed to avoid all
references to: Disabled, developmentally disabled, mentally disabled, mentally ill, mentally
retarded, handicapped, cripple, crippled, deaf-mute, deaf-dumb, dumb, and mute in any new
statute or resolution and to change such references when appropriate in any existing statute
or resolution as sections and provisions including these references are...
