Disability In 1800s
Amazing fact, question or quote about the topic:
“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

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

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

    A disabled person would have been hidden away from society, locked away in institutions. In these institutions many of them were abused and treated poorly. Some of them died at a young age due to neglect and abuse. These places are now closed and group homes and residential treatment programmes have been opened for today’s society. The families accept their disabled children more and they do not hide them.…

    People with a learning disability remained segregated and isolated, and the standard of care was extremely poor. This remained the case right up until the closure of the long-stay hospitals. In 1971 the Government published a paper “Better Services for the Mentally Handicapped” this paper laid foundations for “Care in the Community” with the expectation that half of the people living in Hospitals should be living in the local community by 1990.

    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.…

    Intellectually disabled people were looked down upon in the 1930’s. People saw them as stupid, incapable, and worthless. Their families were also treated poorly because of the conditions their family members were in. It was unfair and inconsiderate. The intellectually disabled were sometimes referred to as “mentally retarded”. During that time, they weren’t given any rights, but today, they are treated better and more equal due to further understanding of their disabilities. They aren't shunned because of their disorder, but rather accepted into society…

    These barriers come in the form of “interpersonal issues, physical distractions, and meaning, or semantic, barriers” (Schermerhorn, Hunt, Uhl-Bien and Osborn, 2010, p. 259). Interpersonal barriers are when someone is unable to listen objectively to what is being said. These barriers can be caused by the receiver lacking trust for the person, or because of possible biases, prejudices, or stereotypes (Schermerhorn, Hunt, Uhl-Bien and Osborn, 2010). Criminal justice professionals may experience this type of barrier if one person is promoted over another and the other does not feel that person to be qualified for the…

    Beginning in the late 1800’s, the disabled were housed in institutions. Evidence of this is shown on http://paul-burtner.dental.ufl.edu/oral-health-care-for-persons-with-disabilities/societys-attitude-toward-people-with-disabilities/ when it states “Beginning in the late 1800’s, institutions were built by state and local administrative agencies to house people with developmental disabilities. These institutions were usually built on the outskirts of town.” This suggests, the disabled were disrespected by putting them into institutions far from others.…

    The history of the American Disabilities Act did not begin on July 26, 1990 at the signing ceremony at the White House. It did not begin in 1988 when the first American Disabilities Act was introduced in Congress. The American Disabilities Act story began a long time ago in cities and towns throughout the United States when people with disabilities began to challenge societal barriers that excluded them from their communities, and when parents of children with disabilities began to fight against the exclusion and segregation of their children. It began with the establishment of local groups to advocate for the rights of people with disabilities. It began with the establishment of the independent living movement which challenged the notion…
