These students at Hope Academy all have disabilities and taking extra time out of your day will help them develop learning skills and also help them become more sociable. From all the information given about Hope Academy I knew what to expect as soon as I walked in. To be honest I actually got more than what I expected from volunteering there, the students actually taught me something. While volunteering you can tell that everyone there loves their job and enjoys every bit of developing the students. I am very grateful for Mrs. Pam introducing me to Hope Academy and giving me an amazing opportunity to work with those awesome children.
A disability can make someone look at a "disabled" person in a specific way, even though they are just as capable as others of doing things. Some people don't realize the impact someone with a disability can have on the world because they are limited and criticized for their issues. People without disabilities can show what they have, and those with disabilities will never even get past the starting line because of people's biased views on disabilities. After listening to the Ted Talk by Keith Nolan, a private cadet, he established ethos, logos, and pathos through his educational speech on the deaf in the military. In the Ted Talk, Keith Nolan backs up his story with emotion, statistics, credible information, and real-life experience.
When supporting children individually, you can ensure you give tailored support specific for that child’s needs instead of having to consider the needs of others. It is an ideal situation to be in but sadly it is often an unrealistic one. Therefore it is important to plan and prepare for such events to ensure you can get the most out of the session. Before you aim to support a child in this way, you must first get to know the child, their likes/dislikes, any special requirements/IEP’s/SEN’s etc. A brief conversation with their parent or carer or, if that is not possible, their class teacher, can provide you with the right information if the right questions are asked.
Therefore, we should disband the many hierarchies in most education systems because there are no clear advantages in having a hierarchy but there are advantages in not having hierarchies. The disbandment of hierarchies allows for students to grow and to implement technologies that help society grow in the classroom. It would allow for people to work freely with others on projects that they find intriguing and even work collaboratively on projects, where individuals have their own personal talents shown. This collaboration allows for more individuals to work together on projects that they are passionate about without having any boundaries to overcome. Davidson discussed her project at Duke, where she implemented iPods in the classroom while trying to find new uses for this new technology.
We think it’s common sense to say hello to your neighbor, hold the door open for the person behind you, or even sit next to someone in class, but that has not always been the case. At one point in time, civil rights was not for everyone. We all remember the women suffering and the african-americans being segregated, but most forget how hard the disabled community worked to be treated as equals. By utilizing the strategies of previous civil rights movements, the American Disabilities Act (ADA) wanted to extend basic civil rights to the disabled community. It started in 1973 with Section 504 which helped people to recognize that even though there are many different variations, the disabled are a legitimate minority who are subjected to discrimination

Getting out and exercising can make your heart stronger, strengthen your muscles and bones, make your coordination better, and overall make you feel better about yourself! All in all, it's really beneficial. This doesn't change for people with disabilities, even if their ways of exercising are different than others. 56.5% of people surveyed said that they think people with disabilities are at a disadvantage.
What a facilitator can do to open the eyes of people that don’t have a disability is to talk about it, answer questions, make it ok to talk about rather than them thinking the wrong things about people with disabilities. While in the documentary a group of kids watched one of the U.S. Wheelchair Rugby games afterwards, they got to get the players autographs and talk with them. The kids were open to ask questions to the players. In one scene a little girl asks pro wheelchair rugby player, Bob Lujano how he lost his arms and he calmy said from a blood disease when he was little thinking he scared the kids he said to them that he’s alright and that’s all that matters in the end that he’s alive (Murderball, 2005, 48:42).
Therefore, applying newer technologies in educational environments allows for the user to understand where they failed and can grow and learn to succeed in different ways. Newer technologies like the implementation of the iPod in the
Why should people with disabilities be included in theatre? Disability theatre can give multiple opportunities to people with disabilities. It is not just about combating exclusion, but also to increase one’s creativity, making new friends, discover new talents and build one’s confidence and self-esteem. Enhancing such skills will give people with disabilities the opportunity to increase their independence and self-advocacy.
Imagine receiving a task of writing simple alphabets with your toes, and being expected to complete it without any help rendered. Does it not seem like an impossible feat? This is exactly how it feels like for people who suffer from mental disabilities to write out letters A to Z using their hands. Just thinking about it, I can already imagine the frustration. Looking at the bigger picture, imagine the anxiety and anger that they face everyday, having to wake up daily to try and complete a series of tasks that society expects of you, although it is much harder for you to.

I believe the IEP meeting is also very beneficial to the parents because if this is the first-born child with disabilities, then this meeting could enlighten the parents on things that would come off as confusing or
Accessibility is a concept that essentially applies to the customization of products, services, appliances and environments in a way that enables them to be used by people who have various types of disabilities. Effectively speaking, these products and services are designed in such a manner that enables people with special needs to gain both ‘direct’ as well as ‘indirect’ access to them. At the same time, the benefits of accessibility also extend to a wider category of individuals such as senior citizens and medical patients. Assistive technology is a term that is closely associated with the concept of accessibility. For instance, the application of assistive technology is what makes electronic equipment such as computer screen readers accessible to all categories of end users, including those with disabilities or special needs.
Also, they talk about how disabled students were limited to do activities in schools. This affected disabled children
