Reflective Journal 1 In class this week we discussed the meaning of the word disability. I found it difficult to define this word as it seems so did the rest of the class. As the discussion continued, the word “society” kept coming up. I was very intrigued that society could have such an impact on children everywhere. The fact that they are given the power to define disability shocks me. I can’t believe that people just accept the definition and group children based on it.

    For the week beginning on 28 August 2017 and ending on the 1 September 2017, I used two different types of weekly planners. One was focused more on the classes and total hours of work throughout the day, while the other was more of a checklist of what was done in a day. I liked the way the first planner was less list-like, but it didn’t allow room for more than the core subjects. That left me confused on where to place community meetings, advising, and electives. Also, there was no section for what’s due that week.…

    For this poverty exercise, I utilized the Social Security Administration, USDA food and nutrition, and Access NYC websites. I learned that as a disabled person who is the head of household, and also unemployed, I would receive maximum federal payment of $733 in Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits on a monthly basis for the year of 2015. Annually this would be $8,804.43. I would also receive $357 monthly in food stamps (SNAP).

    NCOA Reflective Report

    Before I came to Kisling Non-Commissioned Officer Academy (NCOA), I thought of myself as a good leader with certain traits and aspects. I believe that if I take care of my airmen, that they’ll take care of me by completing work orders, squadron objectives, or any future events without question. It wasn’t until I attended NCOA, that I was able to put concept names to the leadership traits that I had. For example, I would put aside my self-interest for the good of the work center because I wanted my guys to know that I have their best interest at heart. Which turns out to be part of transformational leader idealized influence.…

    I decided to use my learned guided imagery technique on a close friend whom was experiencing a lot of stress from her school work and her internship. My client is a senior at Austin Peay and often expresses how much she has to complete before she is ready to graduate. I asked the client if she knew of any alternative interventions that she could use to relieve her stress and asked if I could use some of the guided imagery that I have just learned. Before the session started, the client reported feeling stressed and overwhelmed, and as for me; I was very nervous and unsure of my abilities. We both sat in the living room of the apartment and started the session by discussing what she considers her happy place; which we came up with the setting…

    Overall the society is the one in control who can actually make a difference in reducing and eventually removing the barriers between a disabled person versus a “normal” individual. In the memoir, the example of the social model was when Martha brings Adam to Harvard for her to finish up her year. No one acknowledged Adam being born. They wouldn’t make eye contact with him, and those who would speak with Martha did not try to make obvious that Adam looked not “normal”. Towards the end of the book, Martha states, “That was only the beginning.…

    This last journal will cover some thoughts that I had in the class after I wrote my reflection journal 2. There were many interesting topics we discussed in the class during this period but in this journal, I would deliver my experience and thought regarding to three topics, Diglossia, willingness to communicate and some thoughts about the process of writing my paper. I was introduced with the term diglossia by Marwa in her presentation and she consistently focused on this topic for her research paper. I realized that diglossia is possible to happen for any language where two varieties of the same language exist through out a speech community. Marwa gave example where the standard Arabic has higher prestige than Sudanese Arabic.…

    Throughout many years of history, those with disabilities were not always treated fairly or given equal opportunity. Activists around the world have worked together to achieve goals such as increased access to all types of transportation and a safer day to day environment. Equal opportunities in employment and education have been a big part of their efforts too. For many years, children with disabilities were many times segregated and not given an equal opportunity for a chance to learn and succeed in school. A disability should not limit a person’s choice to improve themselves and their intellectual capabilities.…

    The Social Model

    ‘problem’ that is identified in this model is not with the physicality of the body, but the attitudes and ideals of societies. This relieves the individuals with disabilities of feeling as if they are any less important, as society is to blame for their discrimination, rather than them being blamed for their disability as a burden on society. The social model finds inclusion is possible by introducing more accessibility for the disabled, and to improve upon societal attitudes to establish fair treatment of the disabled, and reduce discrimination and negative ideas of the disabled, so rather than be outsiders they can fully participate in everyday life as able bodied individuals do without fear of being treated any differently. In regards…
