“There is no greater disability in society than the inability to see a person as more” said by Robert M. Hasel
He means when you see someone who has a disability you feel bad right away. You look at them differently, you may not notice it but you do. You think when you see them that they can’t do what others can do.
There’s so many differences on the way they’ve been treated,There’s so many different disabilities that fall into two categories, and they have ways to do things on their own.
Throughout history the treatment of years we have treated people with disabilities differently.
In the 1800’s, They were abuse and had to go to a special school.
According to https://www.newstatesman.com/society/2010/12/disabled-children-british …show more content…
“Many disabled people living in hospitals, special schools and care homes are known to have suffered severe emotional and physical abuse.”
They’re treated as people who can’t do anything for themselves.
Beginning in the late 1800’s, there was sometimes hardly any attempt to meet the children's emotional needs or realizing their individual identities.
On https://www.newstatesman.com/society/2010/12/disabled-children-british It says “ Staff often made little attempt to empathise with disabled people's experiences, denying them autonomy, choice and dignity and at times deliberately causing them pain and discomfort.”
People didn’t treat disabled kids respectfully like how they would want to be treated if they were them.
Later views started to change when transportation changed cause they realized they can do stuff for themselves.
“Before the American Disabilities Act was signed:
People using wheelchairs who wanted to ride a bus or train would need to abandon their wheelchairs.” Now the make ramps to get in and out of buses or stores or …show more content…
libraries.
It used to be hard to get around
In conclusion, There was a lot of difficulties but it has gotten better now.
Visible and invisible disabilities are very different.
An invisible disability can be defined as a disability you can’t see like Mental disorders or impairments etc.
“Invisible Disability, or hidden disability, is an umbrella term that captures a whole spectrum of hidden disabilities or challenges that are primarily neurological in nature.” https://www.umass.edu/studentlife/sites/default/files/documents/pdf/Invisible%20Disabilities%20List%20%26%20Information.pdf Their disabilities that you can’t see
A visible disability Can be defined as a disability you can see like Traumatic brain injuries, Epilepsy, etc.
To define invisible disability in simple terms is a physical, mental or neurological condition that limits a person’s movements, senses, or activities that is invisible to the onlooker. https://invisibledisabilities.org/what-is-an-invisible-disability/ Their disabilities you can see like physical disabilities
They’re different because visible disabilities and invisible have completely different disabilities, they don’t share any types.
Visible: “ADHD, Anxiety, Allergies, brain disorders etc.” Invisible: “Bipolar disorder, Depression, Food allergies etc.” https://www.umass.edu/studentlife/sites/default/files/documents/pdf/Invisible%20Disabilities%20List%20%26%20Information.pdf http://www.continuetolearn.uiowa.edu/nas1/07c187/Module%201/module_1_p4.html
Some disabilities you can’t see.
In conclusion, There’s so many visible and invisible disabilities.
People with disabilities have a lot of Barriers meaning hard times or obstacles that they face everyday, Just like others, 1 in 5 have disabilities with more barriers than most.
Attitudinal barriers/Stereotypes meaning people don’t think they can do anything like a certain job, having opinions. Communication barriers, some people don’t want to talk to them or they can’t speak. Transportation barriers, sometimes they can’t always get around. Policy barriers meaning lack of awareness.
“Attitudinal barriers are behaviors or perceptions that prevent employees from communicating properly. These barriers to communication are specific items that can distort or prevent communication within an organization. Policy barriers are frequently related to a lack of awareness or enforcement of existing laws and regulations that require programs and activities be accessible to people with disabilities”

There’s a lot of meaning behind their barriers.
Barriers are life’s difficulties everyone has them but some not as bad as others.
I think this because I’ve read the websites for the disabled and I thought about what everyone goes
through.
There’s a lot of barriers in everyday life.
Social barriers when you have trouble communicating. Physical barriers when you have a hard time getting around.
“Social barriers are related to the conditions in which people are born, grow, live, learn, work and age – or social determinants of health – that can contribute to decreased functioning among people with disabilities.” “An example of a physical barrier to communication is geographic distance between the sender and receiver(s).”
https://www.cdc.gov/ncbddd/disabilityandhealth/disability-barriers.html#ref
Yes technology helps with communication but when you’re in person it makes communicating harder.
Some barriers people can get over some can’t.
We all have a disability whether it’s a medical one or if it’s learning equality. Help bring attention to this problem, we need to break the stereotype. We need to treat them as if they didn’t have a disability. Be patient if you’re helping someone instead of calling them dumb, they could have undiagnosed disorder. This society needs to be more nice and caring of others. Also everyone needs to be less judgmental. Everyone should be treated equal.
