Radio Walking Disability Analysis

An example of a disability would be Radios mental retardation not allowing him to care for himself independently. Many people generalize what each disability is but it’s important to know that each disability varies from each person. For example, I was astonished to see in this movie Radio walking around town alone. I use to believe that people who have mental disabilities were not allowed to be alone and it was required for them to be always supervised by responsible adults. However, this film did an amazing job of removing my stereotypical views about mental disabilities.
The stenotypes that I saw that I see often is using a minority as the main character that has a disability. One of the things that I’ve learned is that anyone can have
I believe that the movie also did a good job on showing how the life of someone with a disability affects not only that individual but others around them. I believe that Radios mother had experienced so much hurt and betrayal from others that it made it hard for her to accept the kindness of the coach and at one point she even questioned why he was so nice. This shows how the cruelty of others can have propounding effects on families. In that same way when coach was a child and he watched a child with similar characteristics as radio be treated differently and was locked in a cage and Coach witnessed it. Coach never forgot that and felt guilty about it for the rest of his life.

I believe that the child that Coach saw mistreated as a child shaped his entire life. I believe that
There are many resources that are available for people with mental retardation. One resource that I found to be useful is the American Association on Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (AAIDD) which a group that advocated for people with mental disabilities. The AAIDD was founded in 1867 and is one the oldest, largest organization established to help educate the public and provide services to the mentally disabled ("AAIDD - Resources for Intellectual and Developmental Disability Professionals", 2017). The AAIDD is worldwide and provides developmental and professional services to people who are mentally and developmentally challenged ("AAIDD - Resources for Intellectual and Developmental Disability Professionals", 2017). The AAIDD aims to promote professionalism among people with disabilities, promote the amount of mentally disabled people in the workforce, and protect and promote the right of the mentally disabled. NAMI is also a resource available for people with mental disabilities. NAMI is the National Alliance on Mental Illness ("NAMI: National Alliance on Mental Illness | NAMI: The National Alliance on Mental Illness", 2017). NAMI is a group that helps those who are affected my
