As I am reading through the paper, I am 100% agree with most of the point discussed by the author. Because, I came from a place where disability is not an issue for the Government. Therefore, no help is available for these people no matter their conditions. Besides, there is no advocates, and no funds available as well to help. Learning about such program is very interesting and challenging. Understanding the situation of a disable person is not something we can take lightly. At the same time, understanding the role the family members play supporting a disable love one has no comparison. Having such program available to help them is a blessing. Working with disable children allow me to say that lots of help are needed to provide for their …show more content…
For Instance, I have worked with two different families throughout my career. One family was well educated. Mom and Dad were both professional people with masters in education and doctorates in psychology while the other family was just regular people. Mom had no high school diploma, no job, and lots of other kids in that house. Following these two family allow me to bring up the necessity of investing in the parental education which can benefit both the children and their parents. Referring to Family number one, mom was on top of her game. She was her daughter 's advocate. She knew where to write, what to ask and how to fight for what she asked. I remember one day she told me; " I do not take know from nobody for answer. Anything I need for my daughter I fight for it." It was however a different case for the other family, the child was a boy, and he was older than the previous patient. He was getting closer to his 21 anniversary, and mom knew he was going to be dropped out of the school day care program, and he was going to be left home. A year before that, mom had a visit from her social worker whom offered her choose from going to school herself to learn how to provide care for the boy or to place him in a group home. Because apparently, there were no program available for him after he pass 22 at the daycare. Sadly, last summer short period after his school release for vacation. He died of an obstruction of the liver. The author
Education has always been an important foundation upon which my family encouraged the most. Not just the education pertaining to structured schooling, but the fundamentals in life that require you to interact in society and be a part of something bigger than yourself. They demonstrated how to commit to values such as responsibility, motivation, and consistency; and, how to be open-minded and passionate about the things you believe in. These things all required a sacrifice in various ways. They always stress how “sometimes you need to give up something to get ahead, or how sometimes sacrificing the familiar and what you expect from yourself to get the results that you are seeking in the long run.”
To begin, my immediate family is well-educated, meaning that both of my parents received a primary education, but also went on to study and graduate from universities. I believe this factor allowed me to succeed in coming to ISU, because my parents were able to recognize the significance of their higher education and how it correlated with their careers and current lifestyle. These factors contributed to my parents instilling in me the need to receive a college education in order to have more access to future opportunities.
In preparing my Patient Advocacy paper, my choices were to be expected. I chose my father, Steven Mitchell, to be my primary advocate without second thought. I know that if I die and need to have my organs donated or if I am unable to make sound medical decisions regarding my care my father will be the sound of reason in my family. My mother was upset when I mentioned I made her my successor advocate, she stated, “Your dad will be more emotional than me in those situations!” However, as I have noticed in other situations concerning her children, she will not be able to be as rational as the men in my family. The primary instruction is for my family to sit down and discuss the plan according to my wishes if these situations ever happen. Under the directorship of

I agree with what Campbell claimed in her book. American people often can’t help but be trapped in social assistance if they don’t have the essential skill to survive.

All they want is to take part of society as a normal individual. The disability-movement has fought for the disabilities rights throughout the years and has achieved goals such as accommodation of architectural infrastructures to serve better people who are physical impairments. The public policies have been great accomplishments because it has helped people with disabilities to be part of society. The disability-movement points out the healthcare finance policies have taken freedom away from the disability community, “ Health-care financing policies force disabled people into Institutions and nursing homes rather than funding independent living. Income-maintenance and public health-insurance policies include “disincentives” that penalize disabled individuals for trying to work productively.”(p.4). The government has done a great job on protecting disabled individuals’ rights. However, the health-care system has isolated this group even more by restricting the level of productivity that they have within the system, as a result this medical model marginalizes this group of people and this program available for this community does not fully address their issues.
The author does not give any evidence on why the government should provide a free and appropriate to individuals with disabilities. The author did use a lot of Ethos, sections from the law. But the author is definitely lack of logos, and especially no pathos or emotion to if those with disabilities do not get a free appropriate
The Sunnyside neighborhood in the northwest side of Denver is populated by more than 10,000 residents, and according to the Denver Metro Area data, 51% of African Americans, 47% of Native Americans, and 37% of Latinos in the Sunnyside neighborhood are living in poverty every day. Poverty is one of the major factors that largely affects a person’s educational skills. A person’s social class is also a major factor in determining what limits or barriers are present throughout a child’s education. A child’s education can also be further impacted by the amount of funding a school receives in connection to the amount of achievement that can be accomplished by a school in a low funded area.
