There comes a time in every child’s life when they become aware of who they are and question their place in the world, this is no different for a child with a disability. Most important is that every child has a safe environment to be able to express themselves without receiving judgement from adults.

The research article published in BMC Pediatrics shed the light and provide a thorough insight about the perceived barriers and facilitators to participation in physical activity for children with disability. In this article the author Shields. N (affiliated with Department of Rehabilitation, Nutrition and Sport, School of Allied Health, La Trobe University) and

Every child has their special needs interests and little ways of doing things, and the best way of knowing this is to get to know the families and the children.

Society has formed many assumptions and misconceptions regarding people with disabilities that affect their lives in and out of the classroom. It is extremely challenging for a nondisabled individual to fully relate and understand a disabled individual. We often underestimate their capabilities and perceive them from a negative view point. The book Rethinking Disability states, “Forms of ableism – the belief that able-bodied people are superior to disabled people – range from subtle to blatant.” Basically, ableism is assumptions that are made that are prejudiced towards different abilities. Society is molded and designed to fit the needs of nondisabled people. The world we live in caters to able-bodied people which makes it a main goal and concern for disabled people to obtain access to all aspects of a mainstream society.

Why organizations should pay attention to equality and diversity, it is also required by legislation. The new Equality Act’s effective date is 1 October of 2010, this act is aim to protect individual’s rights and provide same opportunities to each one (The University of Edinburgh, 2015). Owing to the discrimination is become serious, so it involved in this act to protect individuals who treated unfairly. There are nine kinds of legislation list as follow: (The University of Edinburgh,

Moreover, other children would like to play and interact with a deaf child, but they don’t know how to do it. When young children see a difference in other children, they can adapt and learn to interact with them. I remember that when my daughter had two-year-old, she came to the US, she only spoke Spanish. When she went to the playground, she wanted to play with other children, but she felt that nobody wanted to talk or play with her. She told me “these children are deaf because they don’t listen to me”. After, she noticed that the other children didn’t understand her, she started to point what she wanted to play, the ball or the slider and other children followed and played with her. She was so happy when other children started playing with

I am gradually beginning to recognize the implications of having a child with a disability included in a regular classroom – for the benefit of the child and for the other children. However, there are times when I do find it challenging to have a child who is continuously looking for attention by misbehaving, disturbing at circle time, taking off his shirt, making faces, lying down – and be all by myself with the 12 children. I attempt to overlook the behavior, try varieties kinds of presenting the circle time, observing the child cautiously what his interests are. This takes a lot of time and energy and sometimes I feel that I am not able to provide the attention to the other children.

This act was solely focused on affording children with disabilities the same opportunity of education as children without disabilities. The act states that schools must serve the educational needs of eligible students with disabilities; they also must evaluate students suspected of having disabilities. This is beneficial to children who parents suspect need testing, but cannot afford testing or help.

There are 50 million people in the United States who have some kind of disability. People with disabilities are discriminated against in the United States. It is not a discrimination that is talked about like race, or gender. This discrimination usually takes the form of avoidance. People to do understand, or know how to act around a person with a disability, so they ignore the person. This is not right because people should not be defined by a disability; instead they need to be recognized as a person, just like any one else. We need to provide awareness about people with disabilities.

Some of the arguments for and against inclusion are as follows: Some say that putting the handicapped in a regular class is the only way to prepare them for mainstream life, but at the same, time teachers do not all have the proper training for teaching special education. Some fight for equal opportunity for all while others say it is not equal opportunity if the other normal children are distracted and can not learn. Advocates of inclusion such as CSIE, the Center for Studies on Inclusion Education, say that putting the disabled in regular classes makes them feel comfortable, normal, accepted, like they fit in, and it boosts their self esteem (web site). Others say it takes needed attention away from the
