PS on the "Stop the R-word" Campaign

While not everyone may agree on a boycott of "tropic thunder" (I wouldn't want to see it anyway....), I think that anyone can agree on the need to stop using the word "retard" outside of its medical usage. The following clip, from Arc of Virginia and the Arc of Northern Virginia, plus Blueberry Shoes Productions is very nice. Enjoy!

This is very good - and sound behavioral principles to boot (teach the replacement behavior and don't focus on the behavior we are trying to get rid of)!
