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.

Up until the mid 1970's it was actually illegal to be disabled in a sort. It was the 'Ugly Law' which many with Cerebral Palsy suffered greatly from. If anyone was reported ugly due to a deformity of any kind, they would be arrested and taken back home. While not many things like that still happen today, there are situations that happen that are still Ableistic in their own ways. Many crimes that happen against disabled people won't get televised or any awareness raised at all. Parents with disabilities are more likely lose custody of their child, a lot of times for no reason besides being disabled. For intellectually challenged parents there's up to an 80% chance of them losing their child. There are businesses that will refuse to let a handicapped worker to any jobs where they might be visible, some refuse designated parking spaces. The disabled are often paid less, in many places they are paid below minimum wage. Which might be overlooked, if the disability benefits had any help to offer. Unfortunately, disability only offers anywhere from $5k-$7k a year, and the recipient and family they are living with cannot earn more than around $20k a year. The average middle class person is expected to make around $30k a year. Not only must the disabled live off such mediocre wages, but the necessities are ridiculously priced. Manual

When discussed what, it means to be a discriminated or oppressed as an individual, especially a person with an intellectual disability, we must first look at the terminology and how it will be relatable for their circumstances. For discrimination, it is described as people or groups of people, which include race, class, gender, age, sexual orientation, who are and continued to be defined as “other,” when they are perceived through “dominant” group values. These groups are treated in exclusionary ways, and subjected to all kinds of social injustice and economic inequality, (Anderson & Collins, 2013).

This study is the first one to provide the pooled estimates of the prevalence and risk of violence against children with disabilities. According to Jones et al. (2012), understanding the magnitude of violence against children with disabilities is challenging because the previous study was able to show only a weak association; however, their study using pooled data had shown children with disabilities at increased risk of being the victim of violence. Although the current study provides very useful information on the increased risk of violence for children with disabilities, it has several limitations, which authors have recognized in the study. Studies that were able to meet the quality criteria were from high-income western countries. Studies from low-income regions of the world with the high prevalence rate of disabilities and violence create the gap in the knowledge, which need further attention, per Jones et al. (2012). Authors have further acknowledged that this study may overestimate the association between violence and disability due to using the pooled risk estimates and the inadequate adjustment of confounding variables. However, the result shows a significant association between children with disability and risk of violence and about a quarter of children with disabilities to

First off, verbal bullying is also a form of verbal abuse, and is defined as a verbal action made to make one feel emotionally harmed .

This supports the definition of verbal bullying because it describes key aspects of this abuse which is usually done by someone close to them which really hits home for some people. As well as article “ Six Types of Bullying” stating, “Typically, verbal bullies will use relentless insults to belittle, demean and hurt another person. They choose their targets based on the way they look, act or behave. It’s also common for verbal bullies to target kids with special needs.” (Gordon).

Though history children or adults with physical and mental disabilities are vulnerable to physical and verbal abuse and neglection from their parents or guardian, because of the lack of knowledge on what a child is going through. Special needs people face many issues socially because they are perceived as outcasts; because they don’t fit with society norms. Social norms are a set of rules of behaviors that are acceptable to society and if people don’t fit with these norms they can be treated differently or given the cold shoulder. Due to these social norms, special need people face discrimination in schools, jobs, or in their own community. Special needs people also have difficulty to make new friends or acquaintances, they are more likely to get rejected due to lack of understanding of certain behaviors.
