To the Disabled Housing Student Appeals Board, For as long as I have remembered, being able to see myself not being on a flat surface has brought about an acute sense of panic. I do not like heights. Things like steps where you can see the ground below through them or from in between steps are something I avoid and will not step foot on. It causes me to have panic attacks to where I cannot move, I cannot think, all I feel is overwhelming fear and the sense of danger. I have been assigned a triple

More to Accommodate Disabled Students In recent years, the number of disabled students who are seeking a college education has gone on an uphill climb. Most colleges have agreed to make accommodations that fit the needs of these students. However, some of these students find that necessary accommodations which make learning accessible and possible for them are lacking. Disabled students can be willing and able to pursue a college education as much as those who are not disabled, and they earn more

At a young age I was always different from other children, this was clear to me, but even with my differences I knew that I wanted to play basketball. It was my dream and when I started middle school I was determined to join the team at my school. When I went to the coach of the team and asked him if I could try-out he said no because “I was more of a liability rather than an athlete”. This was the first time that my disability actually got in the way of my actions. I went into a depression and then

I would like to focus and investigate the lack of age appropriate transportation services for the elderly and people with disabilities. The issue of transportation becomes a major concern when the elderly and people who are disabled develop uncontrollable age related illnesses and are no longer healthy to drive. Losing the privilege to drive brings independence to an end and forces the elderly to stay at home which may lead to despair and other emotions. Therefore, it is essential to provide our

In public schools across the United States, students with special needs are placed in self-contained and resource classrooms in an attempt to facilitate effective teaching and learning practices. However, for some students, the physical placement of self-contained classrooms in and of itself is cause for concern and can impede the learning process (Jones & Hensley, 2012). When students feel isolated or stigmatized by their school environment, their confidence and self-determination levels can be

For my cultural experience, I decided to connect with my roots. Even though I am Hispanic American, my parents never truly exposed me to my Mexican culture. This assignment seemed like the perfect opportunity to connect with elements of my heritage. My parents were born and raised in downtown Joliet, so I went to them to ask them where the best place would be to go find those types of experiences. They told me that the East side of Joliet would be my best chance of experiencing a new cultural experience
