Educating Children With A Disability

When students meet the eligibility for special education services they are labeled as having a disability. Some labels that are used are intellectual disability, physical handicap, behavior disorder, etc. (Colarusso et al., 2013). Many people, young and old, look down on labels that are associated with special education. Colarusso et al., (2013) explained that after a label is placed on a child, others perceive the child as the disability and not a person anymore. Students are not made by their disabilities and that is a major concern for controversy. As educators, we should be aware of labeling and understand the consequence it could have on a child but that is not always the case. I have seen parents refuse services for their child because

Children with disabilities are forgotten by the mainstream population, education officials, and world leaders. There has been no effective policy addressing the needs of the disabled and providing them access to quality education. Especially children with disabilities in developing countries are suffering from discrimination with no source of help, as they are dropping out of school after being excluded. World leaders need to be empathetic and create policies that ensures all children, despite their age, gender and disability can exercise their basic human right to learn without facing discrimination. The issue of discrimination to these children emphasize once again the importance of quality education systems being instilled to meet the needs of children with

In England, it is a legal requirement under the EYFS for all early years settings to work with parents and other professionals to support children’s care, learning and development. Certain policies and procedures must be in place to protect children and for guidance.

I believe that the parents of children with disabilities play a pivotal roll in the educational and social development of their children. When a child is diagnosed with a disability it leaves the parent with a lot of responsibility and difficult decisions to make. When parents start planning to have children, most of them do not expect to have a child with special needs. It is the parents’ responsibility to provide everything that they are capable of to give the child what they need to succeed regardless of what those needs may be.

Furthermore, school is a place where you make friends and integrate with one another. However, individuals with disabilities are often susceptible to face vast number of stereotypes, labels or discomfort at school. That is because of the lack of consciousness and biases that is created by imposing a distinction between non-disabled versus disabled from an early age. Valerie Piro tells us that some her classmates told her that she has a “perfect personal essay topic” (Piro 3). Her friends imply that she has the “perfect essay topic” because of her disability. Yet, it is rather confusing that they are being ironic, jealous or making fun of her situation. As Piro emphasizes, human beings need to “encourage one another to demand that society accept”

On one side of the debate, people may argue that just because disabled children may feel uncomfortable in the world around them, it does not mean that nondisabled children are making them feel uncomfortable. However, many disabled children feel uncomfortable when they do not feel accepted by their peers or people in the world around them. For instance, Vicki Freedman, Linda Martin, and Robert Schoeni, authors of “Disability in America” state, “Understanding disability is an important step in ensuring that Americans of all ages and abilities have the opportunity to participate fully in society” (Freedman). Many people in this world do not understand disability, and that people with a disability should still be allowed to participate in the world around them, instead of sit back and watch everyone else do everything that they could possibly be doing. They may think that they are not doing as much as they could in the world, making them feel uncomfortable with people doing every single thing for them. Some disabilities are worse than others, and they may need more assistance than others, but whatever they are capable of doing, they should be able to do. Freedman also states, “Instead, disability exists when an individual's physical, cognitive, or

Students with disabilities are so much more than their disability itself. The students will remain segregated from everyday events if the community, both in and out of school, cannot accommodate and encourage them. For example, the textbook gave an example of public transportation influencing participation of everyday events, such as seeing a movie, using a swimming pool, meeting friends at a bar, going to church, etc. In school, it is important to remain positive and patient while accommodating our students with disabilities and meeting their needs. Society’s notion is often negative and views these children as “slow” or “limited”, often “dumbing” down the material. These preconceived notions will limit the students and prevent them from growing and learning to their fullest potential. This is one reason we use person first language. The disability is not all there is to the students and simply does not define them, although society thinks

When parents will have a child they have expectations about all the stages of life: they imagine him or her at school, attending to college, pursuing a career, getting married and having children. Parents have dreams regarding their children, and when a baby is born with a disability, all those dreams immediately are condemned to fail in their minds, and the image of an ideal child fade and perish.

When working with students with disabilities you are faced with multiple challenges that make the task extremely difficult. Dealing with the day-to-day needs of this population, their parents, their paperwork, attending the meetings that go along with the job, can mean that there often isn’t a lot of time to interact with other students and teachers. It can be isolating and that can be hard. Limited operating budgets present additional challenges for special needs classes. You may have to do with fewer materials, and resources due to budget constraints. These challenges are all equally difficult and when combined, as they often are on a daily basis, almost impossible to juggle. There is the variablility of student’s needs; you will see students

There are millions of children that are passing through the United States school system every day, not all children possess the same traits, and not all children can learn at the same rate, and do not perform at the same ability. The fact that all children learn differently and some have difficulties learning in general classrooms, special education was put into place to try and take care of these issues. Special education programs were put into place to help all students with disabilities. These children range from general disabilities to more complex and severe disabilities. There has been a revolution occurring in the past several years with education systems, and special education. There have now been several laws that have been

All across the globe, people with disabilities are shut out from the rest of society, kept back by a wall called “stigma”. They are well hidden from the rest of the world, institutionally separated from the moment that they begin school. Children with disabilities grow up almost exclusively around other children “like them”, usually under the pretense that it allows them to feel more “normal”. As they grow

Children with special disabilities have the right to study and to be treated with equality as they deserve the knowledge every child receives. On modern times schools all around the world have the idea that if they have autism and AD/HD children in their schools people are operating to get their special sons into their schools and they account this as publicity for them. Few children act in to have the rights as a normal student since they suffer bullying from their classmates. Different people favor they down to have the right to study, say that this special infants can not revenue the privilege of receiving a normal learning process just as a result of them having a disability. Some other

In the first article, the writer addresses social justice by pointing out the policies set in place by the New York State Government to protect the rights of individuals living with any forms of disabilities. The policy prohibits discriminations and promotes equal opportunities and access to services for all individuals within the group. In the second article, the writer addresses social injustice because the overall rights of disable individuals are not protected and the fight for equality of this groups has not yet been won. In the third article, the writer addresses social injustice because students are not awarded the same amount of access to education due to the lack of funding and resources provided to special education programs. Students

Children with disabilities show negative behavioral problems that disrupt class and students learning. This happens when parents are registering their child and choose not to inform the social worker of the child disability. Therefore, the staff cannot be informed of how to interact with the child until these behaviors are shown.

The importance of education for all children, especially for those with disability and with limited social and economic opportunities, is indisputable. Indeed, the special education system allowed children with disability increased access to public education. Apart from that, the special education system has provided for them an effective framework for their education, and for the institutions involved to identify children with disability sooner. In turn, this promotes greater inclusion of children with disability alongside their nondisabled peers. In spite of these advances however, many obstacles remain, including delays in providing services for children with disability, as well as regulatory and
