The lexicon and language surrounding diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) are evolving with new and nuanced meanings arising, depending on historical and current contexts. Notably, the DEI initialism has evolved to incorporate justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion to create the acronym JEDI, excluding key terms such as accessibility, belonging, or antiracism. Adding a plus sign (+) to the DEI initialism embraces a more comprehensive and intersectional approach, creating space for transformative and evolving language. DEI+ aims to include and invite everyone into ongoing conversations where all are respected, supported, and feel a sense of belonging. Using Bloom's Taxonomy for cognitive learning as a framework, the authors advocate incorporating the DEI+ initialism within physical therapy education, research, and practice.
围绕多样性、公平性和包容性（DEI）的词汇和语言正在不断演变，根据历史和当前背景产生了新的细微差别含义。值得注意的是，DEI首字母缩写词已经发展到纳入正义、公平、多样性和包容性，形成了首字母缩写词JEDI，排除了诸如可及性、归属感或反种族主义等关键术语。在DEI首字母缩写词上加一个加号（+）采用了更全面和交叉性的方法，为变革性和不断演变的语言创造了空间。DEI+旨在包容并邀请每个人参与持续的对话，在其中所有人都受到尊重、得到支持并感受到归属感。作者们以布鲁姆认知学习分类法为框架，主张将DEI+首字母缩写词纳入物理治疗教育、研究和实践中。
