1.1 Explain the sequence and rate of each aspect of development from birth - 19 years.

Page two gave powerful insight into some of the myths, facts, biases, and perceptions the disabled/abled people have to deal with in their daily lives. It had the reader make list of assumptions about people with disabilities, then test these assumptions for accuracy. It had the reader make a list barriers that people assume about people with disabilities. The puzzle about Erik Weihenmayer, and his many achievements, did a wonderful job at making the reader think twice about that list of barriers.

1. Describe the range of emotions associated with being the parent of a child with special needs. Select two emotional states and describe how you as a teacher would you work with a parent experiencing these emotions.

It becomes a stressful event in the sense that the mother’s life equilibrium becomes disturbed and results in the additional pile of other stressors such as financial problems, social problems, and psychological distress. When this model is applied to lives of mothers of children with cerebral palsy, the severity of the stressor relates well to the level or the type of cerebral palsy, the challenging behaviour. When a child is born with a chronic condition such as cerebral palsy which is incurable and permanent in nature, such event increases the mother’s vulnerability to stressors. Although some mothers are at risk for facing many challenges, there are also mothers who cope positively and find it easier to adapt to this stressful event. Therefore, the findings of this study are likely to show that many mothers of children with cerebral palsy are faced with many challenges in life. The study may also find out that certain mothers are able to adopt well to stress after their child is diagnosed with cerebral

Disability affects development and learning because disability affects children's development in different ways. That can be physically and sensory, social, emotional and behavioural and learning or cognitive.

Throughout the centuries the growth in special needs children and adults have increased dramatically. Although there isn’t many statistics nor many records of how many special needs people there were in the early 1930’s it’s still apparent that they were there. The book “Of Mice And Men” written by John Steinbeck he uses the characters Lennie, who appears to be special needs, and George, Lennie’s caretaker, to show the contrast between the two mental capacities and the role of dependency on another. In Steinbeck’s “Of Mice And Men” the character Lennie Smalls shows that the actions and consequences differ from people who have special needs or mental disorders from those who don’t.

In our society, people with and without disabilities are granted rights. Throughout history, disabled people weren’t granted as many rights as people without disabilities. Disability rights have expanded greatly since the 1800s where they were forced to be put in institutions. Now, disabled people have many rights wherever they go and many people have impacted that change. Many concepts have been expanded greatly such as ramps, elevators, closed captioning, etc. to be able to support the people with

There are many reasons why children's and young people's development may not follow the expected pattern some of these are:

Reason for Assessment: Joe was referred for an Assistive Technology Assessment due to parent request as part of the special education services. His mother reports concerns for Joe’s organization. Joe has a history of academic difficulties due to attention related challenges. Joe is considered eligible for special education services under the eligibility criteria for Other Health Impaired (OHI). This is due to characteristics of an Attention Deficit Disorder that manifests itself in a heightened alertness to environmental stimuli that results in a limited alertness to the educational environment, which is adversely affecting Joe's educational performance. Please refer to the psyco-academic report for details.

The film answers many important questions about Down syndrome and what resources are accessible for families to utilize in order to help their children with Down syndrome become the most functioning and successful individual they can be. The film briefly examines different services that are available for the families. However, the film demonstrated that the most precious resource is the role of parents and caregivers to believe in their child and never limit their abilities.

In this report I will discuss both the Social and Medical Models, define their pros and cons and give a short reflection on my own opinion of the two models in everyday use today.

Apart from impairment disability is imposed on top because of unnecessary social exclusions and isolations from complete participation in societal roles. (UPIAS 1976p 3–4) The social model was consequently adopted by Disabled People’s International (Siminski 2003). In this model disability is viewed as socially experiencing an impairment due to social and physical barriers(Barnes 1991 p 2)whereas impairment refers to perceived abnormalities of mind or body be it ascribed or real(Barnes 2003 p 829) Therefore, disability refers something wrong with society and not to something with an individual rather (Oliver 1996a p 129).The model implies to cure, change or fix the individuals, especially when it is discriminatory and prejudiced and against the wishes of the disabled person. The problem or disability is caused by the way society responds to the needs of the disabled person. It recognizes that people with impairments are disabled by the barriers, prejudice and exclusion by society. Thus all the things that impose restrictions on disabled people ranging from individual prejudice to institutional discrimination, from inaccessible public buildings to unusable transport systems, from segregated education to excluding work arrangements, and so on’ (Oliver 1996a p 33). Thus, changes in social attitudes, social support, information, physical structures is required because

As the statistics shown above say, disabled people are considered an embarrassment to be around and considered unproductive people, and therefore are excluded from their society. This group of people is socially excluded in many ways:

According to (Ambikile and Outwater) in (2012) it were their view that mixing disabled children with children without disabilities would help them recover quickly. The search shows that disabled children have the ability to recover if they are mixed with normal children and that they will feel happy because they are recovering from the mental or physical illness that they contain. The beginning of any chronic illness in any family becomes a nightmare for them. What if they had a disabled child? But the believe that disabled children have the ability to recover quickly once they are supported by their families and the community in which they live and feel that they are heroes for trying to recover from the disease. Also in some case, educational integration in some schools stimulates the disabled child to recover because teachers treat him like a non-disabled
