We are the Our Choices Advocacy Group at the HNN-CSB. We advocate for ourselves and others with intellectual disabilities. IDD, Intellectual & Developmental Disability should take the place of Mental Retardation in all of the new regulations. We think you should stop using the words Mental Retardation altogether. “Words Hit like a Fist,” like the “R” word. We think you should write us back with you thoughts on changing the “R”  word.
