ABSTRACT Before discussing what functional diversity is, it is important to know the terms that refer to it in our language, in this case Spanish, as well as the most appropriate ones and the ones we should eliminate from our vocabulary because they are pejorative. Why is the term with which we refer to people who belong to this group so important? There may be people who think that it does not matter which term is used to refer to individuals with functional diversity and that what really matters is the way they are treated and our attitudes towards them. They are not wrong, but reality is constructed largely unconsciously based on a society’s language usage. Therefore, we can assert that using a given word will directly affect our conception of the object or subject to which we are referring when we use that word. Why are there different ways to understand and address this issue? Functional diversity or disability? Which is the right term? What do the experts say?

功能多样性还是残障？新教育范式的社会和概念挑战（“ Diversidad funcional o discapacidad？Retos sociales y conceptes de los nuevos educativos”）

摘要在讨论什么是功能多样性之前，重要的是要了解在我们的语言中提及该功能的术语，在这种情况下为西班牙语，以及最合适的术语以及应该从词汇中删除的术语，因为它们是贬义的。为什么我们所指的属于这个群体的人这个术语如此重要？可能有些人认为，使用哪个术语来指代具有功能多样性的个人并不重要，真正重要的是他们的待遇方式以及我们对他们的态度。他们没有错，但现实很大程度上是根据社会的语言习惯在不知不觉中构建的。因此，我们可以断言，使用给定的单词将直接影响我们对使用该单词时所指对象或对象的构想。为什么有不同的方式来理解和解决此问题？功能多样性还是残障？哪个是正确的术语？专家怎么说？
