People First Language
“People First Language puts the person before the disability and describes
what a person has, not who a person is.”

As defined by Friend and Cook (2010)…
Co-teaching is a service delivery option for
providing special education or related services to
students with disabilities or other students with
needs while they remain in their general education
classes.
Two or more professionals jointly deliver
meaningful instruction to a diverse, blended group
of students in a single physical space.
