    Summary Of 'About Being Considered' Retarded By Amanda Baggs

    “About Being Considered ‘Retarded.’” by Amanda Baggs gives a great perspective on how those who have a disability are considered to be inferior or less human due to them being different from the societal standard of “normal”. To Baggs the way she looks and processes information is normal however compared to standards that society has placed she is different. To me Baggs is conveying the message that we label individuals who are different in this case those who have a cognitive disability and segregate them being considered normal due to the label of retarded.…

    Disabilities In Cammie Mcgovern's Say What You Will

    Autism, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and Down syndrome are only a few names listed, but are some of the most commonly found disabilities in many children and teenagers. These individuals are surely impacted greatly from these disabilities, but they are otherwise just as equal as everyone else. However, if one isn’t treated with the equality they deserve, how does that impact the rest of their life? In Cammie McGovern’s Say What You Will, Matthew and Amy are new friends aspiring to have a memorable high school end, while also dealing with the obstacles and judgement that come with having their own disabilities, like obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and cerebral palsy. Throughout the novel, McGovern demonstrates that because…

    Response to People First

    With People First Language, a child with disabilities doesn’t have to feel like they are their disability. Their disability doesn’t make them who they are; they have their own identity and shouldn’t be judged by any impairment they may have. In “A Few Words About People First Language,” Kathie Snow says that “a person’s self-image is tied to the words used about him.” This statement is the main one that caused me to reflect on my past and to bring it into relation to the lives of others. Although disabilities or individuals with disabilities have not had many impacts on my life, I am empathetic to what someone may go through in everyday living. This is why for the remainder of life, I will always put “people first” by using a…

    Are Labels Good for Kids

    The rise in labeling students with exceptionalities in our school systems has subsequently led to an increase in the number of special education classes and programs in public schools. The question remains as to whether these programs are arising for the right reasons. Scott Shannon, a medical doctor, stated that he, “Believed that the proliferation of mental and emotional disorders . . . reflects our tendency and willingness to find illness where there may be simple difference.” Labels can either serve to benefit or threaten a child’s learning experience. People neglect to realize that a child’s experiences or buildup of stress may have been brought on by a learning disability. I believe that children should not be labeled by their exceptionalities or disabilities, because that label comes with the stigma of being considered deficient or different than everyone else.…

    Special Education Interview

    Special education is defined as “specially designed instruction that meets the unusual needs of an exceptional student” according to Hallahan, D., Kauffman, J., and Pullen, P. (2012). The student that I chose to interview is currently age 25 and completed her special education program at the age of twenty-one. Due to the fact that the student was diagnosed as being mentally retarded at an early age, the mother was interviewed along with the student. In the state of Mississippi special education students are allowed to stay in school under the Exceptional Education Program until the age of twenty-one.…
