Out Of My Mind Analysis
From reading the book Out of My Mind, people with disabilities should be included in regular school activities for the following reasons. They also have brains and are as smart as any other student. Also, they will have an opportunity to feel normal like any other student. This exposure to kids with disabilities will also give the normal kids a chance to have diversity in the classroom. In the book Out of My Mind, the details show that people with disabilities should be included in regular school activities.

The first reason disabled people should participate in regular school activities is they also have a brain. This is shown in the book when Melody said that her body doesn’t work but her mind does. This is also shown when Melody went to

    Learning Difficulties and physical disabled: A child that has learning difficulties should not be excluded from any opportunities for physical and mental growth. They should be encouraged and helped with as many development opportunities as their needs allow. This also applies to children that have sensory impairment and a physical disability. One would need to plan and look at how to manage their needs so all their needs would be met. If a physically disabled child or a child with learning difficulties was not encouraged to move and play as much as possible, they may reduce the physical strength in the parts of their body that are able, therefore regressing their physical development. They may then miss opportunities to develop strength in ways previously thought to be out of their capabilities; Suffer emotionally from not be able to join in and the social interactions with their peers that this presents. This will lead to lack of motivation in participating and achieving. This will affect their cognitive development because they will not pay attention and they will have little sense of self-worth and feel rejected as they feel they are being segregated from the group.…

    Sense and Children

    Some of these children have disabilities. Do you think people's perceptions of others play a role in the success of children with disabilities? Why or why not? Yes, I do, especially the perception teacher have of children with disabilities. When teachers do not look at children’s disabilities, and only look at the child, and what the child needs in order to succeed in their classroom, I believe it makes for a more rewarding environment for both the student and the teacher. When a teacher truly cares about their students it shows in the success of their entire classroom. When teachers look at their disability as a hindrance, and a bother, they are less likely to work and accommodate for the student, which lowers the students’ self-esteem as well as shows the other students in the classroom that that student is not as valuable as the others.…

    Song Of El Filibusterismo Monologue

    A lot of people at school make fun of Melody because she is disabled. It’s obviously not nice but that to me is what tips off that she is different. People judge her and treat her like she doesn’t know anything but little do they know she is probably smarter than them. “It’s not fair!” Clair cried, waving her hands to get Mrs. Gordon’s attention “Catherine cheats for her!” Molly added.” (107) I get that people are nice to her but there is a majority that is very rude to her and they don’t care if she knows what they meant or if she doesn’t.…

    Unit 4 E5 Childcare Level 3

    The teacher would also have to think about the planning of activities focusing on physical development if the class happens to have any physically or visually impaired children. Having special needs child in the class can make it very hard to plan an activity in which everyone is involved. For example if a teacher wanted to organise a gymnastic session where the children learn to develop physically using challenging apparatus, such as climbing ropes, balancing beams and trampolines, a child in a wheelchair would have to sit out. However this activity may be altered to suit this diversity by possibly only using the trampolines and smaller, safer apparatus where the child may be able to participate with some help and guidance.…

    Pros And Cons Of Inclusion

    A second issue that has been brought forth as being detrimental is one that I have also seen as being a pro, the socialization aspect of inclusion. Opponents to inclusion feel that the socialization part of learning takes precedence over the student’s academic achievement. If this is so, then the disabled student would be missing out on necessary skills that would ensure academic progression while at the same time putting the regular…

    I believe that people’s perception does play a role in the success of students with disabilities. It is human nature to stare, fear or ridicule people who appear or act different from what we consider to be normal. For students with physical handicaps or limitations, their self-image is very important to them. They get upset and sometimes depress because they can’t do certain things as other children can because they need the help of other people. These kids are aware that of the fact that they are physically different that most others and that there are certain things they cannot do. What people think of them does affect their self-esteem. Children with disabilities want to succeed and participate as much as they can and this needs to be encouraged and fostered by the teachers and by their family members. The focus needs to be on what the child can do not can't do.…

    Attitude, Legislation, and Litigation

    Since the beginning of time, people with disabilities were shunned, killed, considered an embarrassment, lock away, hidden away, and sometimes even worse. This attitude slowly started changing in the past 60 years. With these changes, came groups and acts to help inform the public and support the disabled and their families. The writer is going to describe how perception has changed, how legislation and litigation have influenced the education of special needs students, a prediction of what changes may occur in special education in the future, the writer’s initial response to an individual with disability, and how the writer’s response is different now.…

    Special Education Inclusion

    Special Education Inclusion addresses the controversy of inclusion in education. It argues that inclusions controversy stems from its relation to educational and social values in addition to individual worth. Stout states the important questions that should always be asked when discussing inclusion. She gives us some arguments from advocates on both sides of the issue and everyone in between. She recognizes that inclusion has no simple answers. She merely intends to overview the concepts of inclusion and offers some recommendations to ensure the needs of all students are met. Her overview begins with definitions of common vocabulary, discusses laws governing inclusion, court decisions that have governed placement under IDEA (Individuals with Disabilities Education Act), and ends with a conclusion, research, and discussion. Finally, she gives recommendations for inclusion success.…

    Social Participation Frame Of Reference (FOR)

    The book stated the need for children with disabilities to gain social competence. It also stated that this skill will help children with disabilities to gain acceptance from their peers which will further allow them to develop friendships. This concept to me is not stated correctly, in that I find it a little insulting. I think society need to shift their focus from doing whatever it take to “fix” people with disabilities to the focus of also teaching typical children without disabilities to learn to accept and socialize with other children unlike themselves. I truly believe that as a society we can benefit from interacting with people who are different from us. The book also stated the important of the problem I mentioned above , which is the integration of children with or without disabilities to engage in the classroom together and to learn about the different disabilities. By so doing, I believe that society can slowly but surely change all the ugly perceptions about children with disabilities and kill all the misconceptions and stereotypes. As a future Occupation therapist, I can help advocate on this matter by educating my clients, running a group about the topic or make brochures to bring attention to the…

    Promote equality and inclusion in health, social care or childrens and young peoples settings

    The social model starts with the assumption that the way a school operates, the barriers present and different attitudes can prevent individuals from participating in society. This view of disability works to empower children and young people. Inclusive practice is based upon the ‘social model of disability.’ Legislation requires schools to make ‘reasonable adjustment’ and remove barriers so that children and young people can participate in educational and social activities within the school alongside their peers. Pupils with additional needs often require the additional support of a teaching assistant or school support worker but it does not stop there by providing additional support. Adjustment would need to be made around the setting, these are;…
