ISRAEL ELWYN | LEXICON OF PROFESSIONAL TERMINOLOGY

‏ From the Administration This lexicon of professional terminology was assembled with the belief that the professional words and terms we use profoundly influence both our general lives and our actions on the job. The guiding light in creating this lexicon was practicality, current usage and accessibility based on the humane and universal values of a just society, equal opportunity and individual freedom. The list of terms presented here is dynamic. The list is periodically updated and includes words and terms suggested during a joint learning process involving service recipients and Israel Elwyn staff from various programs. The list is meant to guide us in our understanding and, most importantly, to accompany us as we carry out our daily work. This list constitutes a basis for learning and advancement in matters concerning terminology.

We believe that thought, language and speech create reality.
