After watching the video I learned that recognizing a problem early for disability is the key for parents and health care providers. CDC invested in a companion called learn the Signs. Act Early. The program is to measure the progress in terms of milestones for their children. Signs that help parents with the developing progress is how the child plays, how the child learns, how the child is speaking, and how the child acts. The short video provided things a parent could do when they are concern about their child’s possibilities of having a disability problem. Some of these problems are contacting the child’s doctor, contacting the early intervention agency only if the child is under the age of three, and contacting the local school district

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…

    Thematic Convergences: Disability as “special ability”? The three films reveal a series of thematic convergences, set in the interplay between “nature” and “culture”, in the understanding and negotiation of the experience of disability, as well as, the “personal” and “public” dimensions of the disability experience in patriarchal social settings. The arrival of a child with disability is a life-changing event, especially regarding the general attitude towards disability in particular cultural and social settings, including the opportunities and facilities that society and state make available, all of which structure and condition the family response. Black depicts the utter sense of helplessness experienced by the family when confronted with…

    Prior to 1975, more than half of children with disabilities were not receiving an appropriate education, and 1 million children were denied access to an education in the public school entirely (Altshuler & Kopels, 2003, p. 320). As a result, the Education for All Handicapped Children Act (EHA) was established in 1975, which is known today as the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). This act provided the right for disabled children to receive a free and proper education that will adapt to each child’s specific needs (IDEA, 2004). Today, forty-one years later, the question remains; is the IDEA successful in providing children with disabilities an education they deserve? This question directly relates to the social work values…
