The most difficult part of working with disabled adults for me personally is having patients and remembering the circumstances. When I do any task, I want it to be done perfectly whether its cleaning, making dinner, or doing laundry I have a certain way I like things to be done. When my clients try to help, me do these things if they aren’t done the way I like I get annoyed sometimes. I have too constantly remind myself that I am not in my house and that my client isn’t doing it wrong they just aren’t doing it the way I would do it. I also have to remind myself how I would feel if somebody came into my house and tried to do everything little thing for me. I would feel useless and helpless; these thoughts help me to see things clearly and back

This individual, due to mental illness, is unable to obtain a driver’s license and therefore did not qualify for the position. The hiring manager, a devout Christian and believer in the human right of participation, offered the position to the applicant despite the limitations affecting his ability to operate a motor vehicle. Instead of turning the applicant away, the manager rearranged the workloads of his other employees so that the applicant could take a job that fit his skills and abilities. Although unable to perform the driving tasks typically assigned to the position, the gentleman has performed exceptionally well in all job duties and the manager was able to ensure that the required job tasks of the entire department are still accomplished. All too often, an applicant applying under such circumstances will be turned away due to not meeting the minimum job qualifications prescribed in a specific position. Not taking into account the right all human beings have to participate in society and work, many employers often lose out on talented individuals due to narrowly defined job responsibilities and not taking into account how the organization can morph to meet the needs of individuals. The CST theme of right and responsibility of participation allows employers to provide

There are many stereotypes regarding those with intellectual disabilities. This may be because these individuals range in cognitive ability, receptive and expressive language, and physical need. While it may be assumed that those with disabilities are not able to process the world around them, they are not immune to mental health disorders and the, sometimes tragic, events that take place throughout a lifetime. Someone without an intellectual disability may find solace in a friend, partner, or family member. If the event is impactful enough, they may even turn to a mental health professional that is trained to help those going through a tough time. Unfortunately, individuals with disabilities do not always have that same network of support.

The Act prohibits discrimination against disabled people in a range of circumstances, covering employment and occupation, education, transport, and the provision of

Understand the legislation and policies that support the human rights and inclusion of individuals with learning disabilities.

Poor health and disability will affect a child’s social and emotional development because they may not be able to do things that their friends can do and not feeling included. Disability can have a positive affect for other children who are friends with a disabled child because they learn empathy and to accept their disability, not just point and stare when they see a disabled person. It also helps the disabled child to feel included with their peers. It also helps the children to learn to care for each other.

People with disabilities have become an integral part of the workforce. The ADA forbids discrimination against people with disabilities when recruiting, hiring, training, and compensating employees (Sotoa & Kleiner, 2013). The ADA prohibits discrimination against people with disabilities in employment, transportation, public accommodation, communications, and governmental and establishes requirements for telecommunications relay services (activities (Stryker, R. (2013). Employers are not allowed to ask employees if they have a disability. The employers are not allowed to ask employees with disabilities to undergo a medical exam before an offer of employment unless all applicants are required to take the same exam (Kaye, Jans, & Jones,

Lack of accommodations serves as an additional culprit of discrimination for the mentally ill in the workplace, as well. The Mercury News reported that a 54-year-old woman “was fired from her sales job in March 2013 when her boss said the time she took off for medical appointments — which included visits to her therapist — prevented her from meeting her quotas.” A 33-year-old man interviewing for a position as a personal trainer at a gym decided to be “open about his bipolar disorder” and informed the interviewer of his condition because he wanted to be “an honest employee and figured they were going to find out eventually” (The Mercury News). The response? The interviewer told him, “We don’t have time for that.” Due to a lack of understanding

As an advocate for the developmental disabled in my current role in my community, I work hard at educating the mainstream community as well as my own team and staff about the mistruths about the DD community. Who these amazing clients are. What they bring to the community. What their strengths are and what their needs may be. When one of my clients has a behavior in the group community, their employment, or home setting or the general community, I work with my clients first on deescalating the unwanted behavior then educating them on how they can work on not reaching that point. How we can create a positive behavior instead. This often can include those in the setting that the behavior occurred. No matter what the situation, the keys to helping

The amount of information that I have acquired throughout AHRS Disability course has only caused my awareness of disability-related issues to increase, I am more knowledgeable on how disability has a negative stigma on an individual from society. Disability to me means that one part of your body function does not respond correctly. I started to notice that many people are not hurting in fact they are living their life perfectly just differently. For an example people see a paraplegic trying to get in his/her car, they feel sorry for them and try to help them, not realizing that they did not need help when he got in the car back at home.

“…there has been little effective research or resources available on the topic of counseling people with intellectual disabilities.” (counseling support ID) There is however at least one agency across America that helps all disabled populations. The department for assistive and rehabilitation services (DARS). DARS helps people with all sorts of disabilities find resources for every aspect of life with a disability, and can help the person with a disability and their family get counseling services to help deal with the life changes coming their

Over the years, the workplace has experienced several instances of discrimination. In attempt to stop the discrimination, Title VII was passed. Although Title VII helped employers in terms of race, color, gender, religion and national origin, those who had disabilities continued to face the frustration of disability barriers in the workplace, given disability was not one of the listed protected classes. Employers abstained from hiring the disabled in fear of them not being able to perform at the same level as the other employees or the attitudes of such employees towards the disabled workers. Of course, there was some legal protection against discrimination: The Vocational Rehabilitation Act of 1973, but this law only applied to employees

It was warm that day. I walked to the bus with my hands shaking and eyes wide. I knew this was going to be a big day for me but I had no idea that Saturday would be the first day of the rest of my life. At first glance, this may seem like a big statement but my first day of volunteering with Camp A.N.C.H.O.R. (Assisting the Needs of Citizens with Handicaps through Organized Recreation) sent me on a journey with social justice that I am still taking. At 16 years old I thought I was going to go in and change lives but, the individuals I met ended up changing mine. I didn’t know what I was doing or much about the populations I was dealing with. However, I did know the individuals I was working with were incredibly funny, smart, talented, and had so much going for them except for one thing, their disability. I realized that these individuals were being portrayed as incompetent, unintelligent, and incapable because of one small aspect of their life. After speaking to some of their parents over the course of two years, I realized the immense difficulties these families go through. My initial reaction was anger, and then it dawned on me. If I want people to treat me like an individual and give me full human rights, have access to a public education, not receive discrimination during job interviews, they should have the exact same rights. This is not something they choose to take on each day. It is a part of their life that they deal with everyday as so many of us do with other
