Although there have been many improvements in the conditions which people with developmental disabilities have to deal with over the last few decades, I feel as though our state, and country still have a long ways to go. There have been many laws and programs put into place with the intention of helping these children and adults feel “normal” in society, but the public as a whole is still very uneducated on this subject. People with disabilities are still bullied in schools, work places, or anywhere else public. Educating the public and making public areas truly safe and comfortable places for people with developmental disabilities to be will be the next challenge to overcome. As students trying to get degrees in human development, nursing, doctors, counselors, and any other type pf degree that involves working with people, it is our job to educate the public too. The more the public is introduced to this subject, the more normal it will become; therefore, making life for people with disabilities more fulfilling and as close to what would be considered normal as…

Nancy Mairs is a writer afflicted with multiple sclerosis. In her essay, "Disability", she explains how the media fails to accurately portray individuals living with a debilitating disease. This causes people with a handicap to feel inadequate, isolated, and lonely. Consequently, the media's lack of depiction hinders the able-bodied person's ability to understand, interact, and accept disability as normal. Mairs wants disability to be portrayed in everyday life that way others can be aware of those who have handicaps and realize that they are just like everyone else. Mairs succeeds to get her point across by drawing in the reader with her strong diction as well as using personal experiences and humor in support of her statements.…
Malignant Malalignment, or as it is more casually known, Miserable Malalignment, is a leg condition that causes the bones to twist as they grow. When I was 12, I was diagnosed with this condition, and at the time my doctors recommended that I wait to see if I might outgrow this ailment. Sadly, it worsened and this summer I had reconstructive leg surgery to correct the problem. Not only did the surgery immobilize me for what could have been an exciting and fun summer, it also posed challenges for the start of the school year. I wasn’t sure how I would manage to get around campus while my bones were still healing. I contacted UAB’s Disability Support Services (DSS) and set up an Intake Interview and an Accommodations Conference. It seemed weird to be considered “disabled” after so many years of just being a normal kid. I also feel bad being categorized as disabled because it is only a temporary thing for me; once my bones heal I’ll be back to normal.…

The book stated the need for children with disabilities to gain social competence. It also stated that this skill will help children with disabilities to gain acceptance from their peers which will further allow them to develop friendships. This concept to me is not stated correctly, in that I find it a little insulting. I think society need to shift their focus from doing whatever it take to “fix” people with disabilities to the focus of also teaching typical children without disabilities to learn to accept and socialize with other children unlike themselves. I truly believe that as a society we can benefit from interacting with people who are different from us. The book also stated the important of the problem I mentioned above , which is the integration of children with or without disabilities to engage in the classroom together and to learn about the different disabilities. By so doing, I believe that society can slowly but surely change all the ugly perceptions about children with disabilities and kill all the misconceptions and stereotypes. As a future Occupation therapist, I can help advocate on this matter by educating my clients, running a group about the topic or make brochures to bring attention to the…
