According to Right of Persons with Disabilities Act (2016), which of the following term is appropriate to use?

  1. A.Retarded student
  2. B.Handicapped student
  3. C.Student with physical disability✓ Correct
  4. D.Student with crippled body

Explanation

The Rights of Persons with Disabilities Act, 2016 promotes person-first language that emphasizes the individual rather than the disability. Terms like 'retarded,' 'handicapped,' and 'crippled' are stigmatizing and derogatory. The appropriate term is 'student with physical disability' which places the person first and describes the condition as one aspect of identity rather than the defining feature. This approach respects dignity and aligns with international human rights frameworks for persons with disabilities.
