IN recent years the term developmental disability has become outdated with advent of new funding programs and an emphasis on person centred language. The term developmental disability is used to describe a large group of people and the use of more specific terms are encouraged. The term developmental can be misleading in that it can imply changes to the diagnosis when in fact these are often lifelong conditions\, such as Autism Spectrum Disorder and Cerebral Palsy. Members of SPOTonDD tend to work across the lifespan with children\, young adults and adults\, hence the term developmental disability is not appropriate when applied to all of these groups of people. Hence the committee propose that the name is changed to DisabilitySPOT. The term disability is more accurate when applied to a large group of people and we aim to be a ‘spot’ where speech therapists\, occupational therapists and physiotherapists amongst others can come to learn about disability. The change of name supports our organisation in maintaining currency and demonstrating respect to all people. \nIf you have any questions or comments regarding this event or the change of name\, please don’t hesitate to get in touch\, we are\, after all\, here for you our members.  \nSimilarly\, we are always looking for members to join our executive team and share the load\, so please considering joining us! Further details to come including voting via proxy. \n
