People with Disabilities
I think people with disabilities should be treated just like you and me because they have feelings too. How would you feel if you were the one left out? I have a sister that is four years old and she has disabilities. She has CP because her brain isn't working right.

She should get to go to the park so she can have fun on the swings and the slides. I get to go to the park near our house sometimes but she doesn't. The park should be for everybody, but there isn't any equipment that she can use. If she could go on the swings she would need to have a special swing.

She should get to go out to restaurants. Some places don't have a ramp for my sister's wheelchair that she sits in to eat. Sometimes she tries to sit in a high chair, but she always slides out. Sometimes people whisper about her, and sometimes people point at her. It's not nice to make fun of people with disabilities. It can hurt their feeling and sometimes it hurts my feelings too.

Kids with disabilities should be able to go to school, so maybe their brains can start to work better. They should be allowed to try to do the same things as all of the other kids. Sometimes they might need some extra help. Sometimes they need other people to help them, like extra teachers or some other kids. And sometimes they need special equipment to help them too.

Sometimes people with disabilities need their own places too. At McDonalds, there is a ball pit that I can play in with other kids, but my sister can't. They need to have a ball pit that isn't too deep where the adults can help the kids who need it.

Sometimes I wish my sister would get better. Than she could play with me and do some of the things that I like to do, and not only the things that she can't do. But, I still love her the way she is, and wish everybody else would too. People with disabilities are people too. Just because they can't do everything that other people do doesn't mean they should be treated

    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.…

    Kenneth Littleton Crow, a handicapped comedian, was my favorite comedian from the “Able to Laugh” comedy video. In his skits, Kenneth brings up wheelchair accessibility as well as interactions between disabled and non-disabled people. He jokes about how people do not always want to look at him while talking because they are uncomfortable or, how they do not know what to say to him because they feel bad for him. In the video Kenneth stated, “If they just stopped for a minute and thought well…you know maybe they’re not any different from me” (1:54). I completely agree with his message of breaking down former attitudes, building up feelings of mutual respect, and providing knowledge of life with a disability is like.…

    In sensory loss (touch/ mobility, vision, hearing) can have a big impact to an individual like for example in mobility, the person can not feed or dress himself, or can not participate in an activity and worst if he can not attend to his personal daily living.

    Think about your life and how great it is, you aren’t in a wheelchair, your brain functions correctly, and you have friends, but some people go through that struggle and it makes their life difficult. Through the 1900s-1950s people with disabilities weren’t treated very well, they didn’t get medicine or any professional help through their life. In 1907 the Eugenic Sterilization Law was passed and it was for people who were disabled. People thought they could catch whatever they had and they didn’t want to be thrown into an asylum just like everyone else. Science wasn’t as strong back then as it is today, so many believed that they were a threat to the health of the nation or even “perfecting” the human race in general.…

    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.…

    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…

    The unemployment rate in 2012 for people with disabilities was more than 1 in 10 (13.9%) compared to less than 1 in 10 (6.0%) for those without disabilities. Therefore, people with disabilities should be treated more equally. People with disabilities should be treated with more respect, because of how they were treated in the past, their disabilities you can see and cannot see, and barriers the disabled face. Throughout history the treatment of the disabled has been evolving.…

    If the American Disabilities Act means anything it means that people with disabilities will no longer be out of mind. The American Disabilities Act is based on a basic presumption that people with disabilities want to work and are capable of working, want to be members of their communities and are capable of being members of their communities and that exclusion and segregation cannot be tolerated. Accommodating a person with a disability is not a matter of charity but instead an issue of civil rights.…

    Words such as disability, impairment, and handicap when misunderstood and misused can be hurtful, and offensive, especially to me. Every day is a struggle that I wish could just disappear. But, life is not a Hollywood movie, it's reality. I can't just magically start walking normally. In fact, I can never walk normally. It's not like the movie Forest Gump.
