In agreement, the 2011 Winterbourne View case highlighted that 11 years on from No Secrets (Department of Health, 2000), service-users with learning disabilities were still being systematically abused and despite the multi-agency approach were not being protected. This is worrying as it brings concern for increased risks of abuse; not only from the DSW, but also from society, as continue to be marginalised. Are they a forgotten group? Because legislation is in place to safeguard and protect them, or is austerity affecting the ability to fulfil the growing and changing demands of

Disability Act (2010) refers to those people whom got a medical condition that requires special attention and extra care and helps us, as teachers to treat them equally and not let them feel excluded, this Act can be linked to A, B and F Domains from LLUK standards. If in my course of work I’ll have to deal with a disabled learner I’ll try to plan the session according www,,, to this and prepare for him appropriate tasks. I’ll try to widen my knowledge about his/her disability to know better his/her needs and what teaching

Sanson (2005, p. 3) believes that when it comes to accommodating students with disabilities, scientists, practitioners, and politicians are necessary to the process as a whole and communication between these individuals is essentia.

In the past most of the people with learning disabilities suffered regularly from discrimination. All to often people with learning disabilities aren't considered worth living and they are the subject of

Being able to build positive relationships with others helps children and young people to gain the most from being in school and is important to ensure the communication of information between children and the adults responsible for them. We are more likely to build a positive relationship with someone when we can communicate effectively with them.

The day to day experiences of individuals with learning disabilities and their families are affected by the policies and legislations in place because it provides rights and entitlements for the individuals and their families. Furthermore, these rights are upheld and protected from discrimination which is very important as it gives them more opportunities. In addition to this, by offering as person-centred care it gives the individual the choice of their care and how they receive it which gives them the freedom of how they would like to live. Moreover, the policies gives the individuals an equal opportunity to access public services, employment and health care which also relates to them being able to live within their community. This is because

I never put too much thought into the reaction I give if someone tells me their child has a disability therefore, never noticed if they showed distaste to any apology or sympathy I offered. I’m sure that I am not the only one who has not meant any harm by these things, but the article helps see the situation from the opposing parent’s point of view which offers enlightenment on how to handle future encounters to ensure everyone is comfortable and the language isn’t ignominious. I intend to utilize the wisdom I’ve learned from Ms. Snow’s article in my own classroom one day. Along with her words I now feel inclined to do further research on how to better create lessons, organize my classroom, and provide the proper tools as well as become a support system for any student with any kind of disability both learning and

Individuals with learning disabilities used to be separated from society in institutions, long-stay hospitals and workhouses to be cared for, their independence was taken away and decisions were made for them by their care provider, which is now recognised as depriving their liberty. Care providers are now led by legislation, codes of conduct, policies and procedures to protect their liberty, human rights and provide equality and individualised person centred care. By looking at past ways of working, care providers are able to identify what was wrong in the service provision and identify ways of improvement to meet modern standards of care. This has helped to change the attitudes and beliefs within society, improving the individuals experiences

The special education teacher/SLP will assist classroom teachers with learning sign language to help Makhail express his needs. Ms. Debra. Wright, Mikhail’s teacher, expressed her knowledge of working with autistic children. She was also familiar with some sign language.

The article "Viewing Persons with Disabilities as a Culture" by Dawn O. Braithwaite was published in Kathleen Verderber's book \underline{Voiced: A selection of Multicultural Readings}. Through research and anecdotes, Braithwaite discusses cultural communication between able-bodied persons and persons with disabilities.

It’s not every day that the average, able bodied person talks to a person with a disability. Because there are not a lot of interactions between these two groups, communicating to each other effectively can be very complicated. The National Service Inclusion Project (NSIP) has put together a six video series to explain how able-bodied individuals should communicate with individuals with disabilities. For someone like me, who does not interact with individuals with disabilities often, I found the videos to be very educational.

Communication is one key that she elaborated on, everyone communicates it could be verbally or with body language. A disability does not mean that you cannot talk to them, they like to talk to others too. At times, I do not know if I should talk to people who have disabilities because I feel inferior but she taught me that it’s okay to talk to them; don’t be

An individual with intellectual disabilities can face many barriers in not only their academic life, but also their social life. Peter, has faced barriers to his successful inclusion in the classroom. One of the barriers the video mentions is teachers displaying unwillingness to including Peter in their classroom simply because teachers do not accept him or his disability. I believe prejudice is a barrier many people with intellectual disabilities are forced to face at a given point in their lives. I think the prejudice stems from fear and misunderstanding of people who are physically or mentally different. In chapter nine of this week’s readings, it highlights on the importance of individual relationships are between the teacher and the student with a disability. Focusing on a student’s strengths rather than there IQ or weaknesses is essential to their success. “Some teachers focus on her IQ, but that’s not a useful fact. Everything depends on the relationship Rachel and I have with educators, on their skills, and on Rachel’s attitude, behavior, and self-determination.” (Turnbull. p. 187). Another barrier Peter faces is the desperate struggle of wanting his independence, yet still needing outside assistance for things. The loneliness and the inability to properly communicate his emotions are one of the biggest mental barriers Peter has faced. Peter overcame and managed these barriers through

Over the years, perceptions towards disability have been significantly changing as result of the long pathway the disable community has taken fighting for Civil Rights, inclusion and against discrimination. Unfortunately, this last one has not been totally accomplished yet. Barriers to social integration still exist in the society. Perhaps the greatest barrier is not the disability itself; is the attitude of people.
