Disability And The Education System: Article Analysis

In the realm of critical disability studies (CDS), it is interesting to explore how the field of CDS explores the lived experience and collaboration of the disabled and non-disabled researchers that are creating the CDS literature itself. Tregaskis and Goodley uncovered the importance of recognizing this in their work on the collaboration of disabled and non-disabled researchers in CDS (2005). Tregaskis and Goodley highlight barriers that these relationships may present to the research, and identify the role that interdependence has among all CDS researchers. Interdependence among the disabled and non-disabled aims to create a foundation of equality and trust. By focusing on the commonalities and the unity of the two parties working to the

The amount of people who live with disabilities is a controversial number. Depending on what law and diagnostic tools used, a person may have a visible disability, or one that may lie beneath the surface of his or her appearance. Some people believe that the term “disability” is merely a label use to hold back, or prescribe helplessness. Meanwhile, individuals who have been properly diagnosed with disabilities struggle to maintain respect and acceptance every day. In plain language, there is a lot of misunderstanding between people with disabilities and those without. It is firstly important to get everyone on the same page regarding the definition of disability.

Disability is a definition of a physical or mental condition which impacts on a person’s movements, activities and senses. People with disabilities were informed of bias and disadvantages compared to an ordinary person. There are many biases and prejudices contributed to the discrimination of individuals with a disability. Partly because of social connotations the disabled people are useless, cannot work. In fact, these extraordinary people always bring and do incredible things. They not only overcome their grim fate, but also bring good things to life, especially those who are perfectly considering better than an ordinary person, they are not aware of the capacity of individuals disabilities with them characteristics such as loyalty, dedication, and hard work.

Author of disability Nancy Mairs who’s a feminist and a cripple, has accomplished a lot in writing and teaching. Her remarkable personality shows in many of her essays especially in Disability which was first published in 1987 in the New York Times. In this essay, Nancy Mairs shows how disabled people are constantly excluded, especially from the media. By giving out facts and including her personal experiences, Mairs aims for making some changes regarding the relationship between the media and people with disabilities. Mairs thesis is shown implicitly in the first

The article “introducing disability Studies” by Ronald J. Berger was an eye opener in uncovering the past history of negative stigma associated with having a disability. Through history people have felt the need to stare at people with disabilities or to turn away in fear of maybe contracting the “disease”. This negative attitude was positively reinforced by ordinances such as the Chicago “ugly law” in which a person with physical deformities would have to pay a fine for simply being too “disgusting” looking to other citizens. This law was in place from 1880 to 1973, which is pretty recent in history. However there are positive glimpse in history when it came to uncovering and defining disabilities. Men like Leo Kanner and Asperger have dedicated

Differing combinations of structural factors (such as caste, gender, religion, poverty etc.) intersect with disability resulting in varied individual experiences, but the broad commonalities that shape the lives of people with disabilities in India transcend these divisions. Their lives are largely marked by poverty and marginalisation from mainstream social processes. A recent study by the World Bank (2007), for example, noted that children with disability are five times more likely to be out of school than children belonging to scheduled castes or scheduled tribes (SC or ST). Moreover, when children with disability do attend school they rarely progress beyond the primary level, leading ultimately to lower employment chances and long-term income poverty. Government documents also describe marked variations in the provisions envisaged for different marginalised groups. Historically, SCs/STs have had a strong political lobby since independence and this is reflected in the provisions made for them. Article 46 of the Constitution makes a straightforward commitment to promoting the ‘special care and education’ of SC/ST populations, whereas Article 41 referring to children with disabilities, states: The State shall within the limits of its economic capacity and development make effective provision for securing the right to work, old age, sickness and disablement. The clause, within the limits of the State’s economic

In the history of Special Education Laws the researched information provided ample support for the assertion of landmarks. The laws heighten the justification and control court cases of the public schools and Special Education. The evolutionary development and diversification of discriminator cases about students with disabilities has changed the circumstances of the public schools and special education. Especially, the important views of the people in different court cases that battle with the conflict to become a thriving participate in todays society. In reviewing the videos, they depict the personal issues of how frustrated parents and students are trying to fight for the quality of Special Educational Systems to enforce the rights and laws of students with

Education is important for all paralyzed people. Laudan Aron said: “The special education system has given children with disabilities much greater access to public education, established an infrastructure for educating them, helped with the earlier identifica- tion of disabilities.” This implies that the education system for paralyzed people is more and more perfect. Within special education schools, the teachers receive training, and the teachers have many approaches and skill to encourage paralyzed people. Sometimes, paralyzed people are fragile and lack of self-confidence, the teacher need to use special way to encourage them.

This article discusses whether or not special education teachers, as well as general education teachers, are prepared to teach students with autism. According to the article, autism is ranks at the sixth most commonly classified disability in the United States. There is a very wide spectrum for autism which include disorders like Asperger’s and pervasive developmental disorders not otherwise specified (PDD-NOS). 1 out of 150 American children will be born with autism (Autism Society of America, NDb).

The disability rights critique grabbed my attention following an interesting comment from the authors. They discuss the topic of prenatal screening and with what regard we should have for different forms of abnormal life. They state, “it should be noted that if the claim that abortion of a foetus with, e.g., Down’s syndrome is morally on par with killing children or adults with that condition, the objection doubles as a radical form of abortion-critique” (de Jon and de Wert, 48). This is a very unique standpoint as it describes a different thought process in which myself, and probably the majority of society would never consider if they were to be presented with the topic of prenatal screening. We normally think of a fetus, let alone one with an abnormality, as having a lesser value than everyone else because it is still in the womb and we cannot envision its value without it

Many studies focused on how the services for special needs children contribute to their education. However, very few studies recognize the role of the society in their attitude towards success. This paper answers the following questions: 1) how education affect the disabled, 2) how to improve education outcomes for students with disabilities, 3) how can the society deal with the disabled students, and 3) how to identify special learning disabilities.

Throughout history, society has attempted to define where disability belongs within the social order based upon societal interpretation of disability, political context, and economic context. Holistically, the view and stigma of disability altered through three distinct phases. The earliest thinkers subscribed to a spiritual model in which disability was believed to be some form of moral punishment. The onset of the Age of Enlightenment, rather, valued empiricism and experimentation above supernatural superstition, giving way to the modern interpretation of disability in which society’s institutional roadblocks, negative attitudes, and societal exclusion are the factors which truly disable some individuals. Specifically, this paper will examine the facets of the first and second phases as well as the logistics of the shift between them and their effects. Holistically, Enlightenment thinking shifted the view of disability from moral to medical in nature, laying the foundation for modern day special educational values.

Have you ever get a chance to know about disability, a cause of disability, and the consequence? Disability is a condition, which may restrict the person mental, sensory or mobility function to undertake or perform a task in the same way as a person who does not have a disability. One disability comes in much Variety of shape, sex, color, and culture like others do. The only thing that separates a person with a disability is that, they only cannot do certain things in the same way as the mainstream of society. Because there are many different reasons and conditions can impair their behavior, movement, and mobility. The inability to use legs, arms, or body because of paralysis, stiffness, pain or other common impairment may change their thinking and also behavior. Moreover, it may be the result of disease, age, birth defects or accidents, and they may be contributing to other disabilities such as, impairing speech, memory loss, short stature, and hearing loss. It is the most important thing to change our observation when we come to Childs with a disability because they may find it difficult to participate when they facing social and physical barriers. Most people have a different attitude for disability and they treat them differently. Unfortunately, this type of thinking or stereotyping is one form of discrimination. Also, it is diverse when we see disability between developed and developing country. In developed country disabled teens have the accessory to use items to
