The document provides revisions to sentences to make them adhere to people-first language and other guidelines when referring to individuals with disabilities or diagnoses. The revisions replace terminology like "mentally challenged", "retarded", and "abnormal" with person-first phrases that emphasize the individual rather than the disability, such as "cognitive disability diagnosis", "developmental disability", and "disability".
