How do you make a story more general
Or not specific to a topic that nobody really reads about
For example I’m talking about special education in my story and I don’t want to have to refer to the specific terms that people might have to keep looking up or get confused by Or at worst cringe at
it’s hard for me to explain it myself
I’ve been hearing these terms like IEP and special education another terms that are very specific most of my life
I’m trying to write for a general middle to upper middle school audience
If you need any more information to answer this question please let me know because I’m not sure if I fully explained it
all of my characters are pretty much in seventh grade. I believe one of them is in eighth grade now as I mentioned earlier in another post this story is going to be about bullying possibly gay bashing and bullying towards the handicapped The main protagonist has cerebral palsy ,One is typical but gay one is autistic ,one has Down syndrome One has an intellectual disability and the other one is what would you call typical
Also one of the characters is coming to terms with the fact that they have an intellectual disability
Like during the novel she is diagnosed by the school and is moved to a special-needs class
is there anywhere I can go to Or anyone that can possibly put an insight or input
On this subject
i’m trying not to use the terms very specific like IEP .. things like that and I’m trying to touch on Things like therapy And diagnostic terms And sort of brush through it like write it but not make it so like the focus
and I’m also trying to have the bullies in my and the character have reasonable insults
The only thing I can come up with for the bullies to say the far is the common r word and spazz Things like that and I also I have had. one of the bullies called the character that is friends with the main character with CP a para and saying things like Where is your communication board but I feel that feels to forsed And it’s not general enough
