person with a visual impairment; person with a visual disability; visually impaired person; visually disabled person: The designations "person with a visual impairment" and "person with a visual disability" are examples of person-first language, whereas "visually impaired person" and "visually disabled person" are examples of identity-first language. Since some people with disabilities prefer person-first language and others prefer identity-first language, it is best to ask a person with a disability how they prefer to be referred to. In English, person-first language is usually used in administrative documents and in laws. 2, record 2, English, - person%20with%20a%20visual%20impairment

Record number: 3, Textual support number: 1 OBS
persona con discapacidad; discapacitado; minusválido: La Fundación del Español Urgente (Fundéu BBVA), con el asesoramiento de la Real Academia Española, indica que se prefiere en general la fórmula "persona con discapacidad" al uso del sustantivo "discapacitado", que, si bien no es reprochable desde el punto de vista lingüístico, supone aludir a la persona por una sola de sus características, en este caso la discapacidad. Tampoco se recomienda la voz "minusválido", utilizada durante mucho tiempo y aún presente en documentos y trámites diversos. […] se desaconseja su uso en los medios de comunicación, ya que en la actualidad se interpreta, en especial por los colectivos citados, como peyorativa. Asimismo se desaconsejan palabras o expresiones con matiz claramente despectivo (como "anormal", "subnormal", "deficiente", "incapaz", "inválido", "impedido", "disminuido"), así como las que denotan sufrimiento ("como sufre", "padece" o "arrastra una discapacidad"). 2, record 3, Spanish, - persona%20con%20discapacidad
