    The content talked about in chapter three and the first case study brings to light a lot of different issues regarding Special education. Issues of inclusion, normalcy, and the medical model of "diagnosing" students with disabilities are all topics that are debated frequently. It is important to understand that the history of disabilities has brought a negative persona on the idea of Special education; this issue is properly identified in chapter three of Rethinking Disability when the authors provide a description of how a typical conversation may go between a normal working person and a Special education teacher. For example, a person whose line of work may be working in an office may say to a Special education teacher, "Why, you must be…

    In the 1800s, those with intellectual disabilities have been treated very unfairly compared to those without mental illnesses. The mentally ill are seen as a problem to the public and were never given the proper chance in society. From the 1800s to the present, many people, both citizens and experts, search for better ways to treat the disabled. Experts would even begin to seek knowledge for why they are different to further understand their needs. Some of the main contributors to gaining rights for the mentally disabled are Dorothea Dix, Nelly Bly and Eunice Kennedy Shriver.…

    Essay #2: Disability or Enhancement? In this essay, I will argue that Gauvin’s parents were not morally justified in their decision to permanently make their son born and remain deaf because by doing so the parents are treating the child as a lesser equal and are inflicting psychological harm. The role of parents is to ensure the wellbeing, safety, and support of their child in hopes that they can become stable, independent, and functional individuals in the near future. However, choosing a sperm donor with a history of deafness or any other disabilities is morally unjust because it is specifically taking a trait and implanting it upon a child causing them a life of hardships that they have to endure.…

Jack suffers with academic, social-emotional, and behavioral problems on a daily basis with some days being more severe. Jack is currently working two grade levels behind his expected level, while he spends sixty-five…
