Ableism is the act of discriminating or being prejudiced against people with physical impairments or learning disabilities.

Accommodation is part of Piagets work on cognitive development. In order for a child to understand new information they have to alter their current ideas in order to accommodate the new information.

Accountability is a very important notion and means that organisations and individuals must explain and take responsibility for their actions and the subsequent results.

Adolescence is the stage in a persons life when they are developing from being a child into being an adult. It is a process that is characterised by change and can be a very challenging time for young people (and those around them).

Ageism is the unfair treatment of someone based on their age. Young people are often treated in a way that would be unacceptable for other groups, for example you often see signs on shop doors saying only two school children at one time. You would not expect to see a sign saying only two disabled people at one time.

Agent refers to someone who can make things happen.

Aims are broad or general statements of what you would like to achieve.

Animism is the tendency to give life-like qualities to non-living things.

Anonymity means not sharing someones name. If you keep a reflective diary or write documents at work, you may be expected to anonymise your papers by using fake names, for example.

Anti-discriminatory practice is a way of working that aims to challenge and diminish the causes and impact of discrimination.

Anti-oppressive practice is a way of working that aims to reduce the structural, personal and cultural systems that create oppression.

Assimilation is part of Piagets theory of cognitive development and refers to the adaptation process that takes place when we are introduced to new ideas or experiences: instead of changing completely to accommodate the information into our ideas and schemas, we subjectively modify the information in order to fit in with our already existing ideas and schemas.

Association is a term used most often by youth workers. It aims to highlight the importance of young people having a space to go to hang out with their peers and some key professionals as well as to learn and engage with activities.
