On-File Medical Information: • Documentation of the medical condition/disability that includes, unless the disability is patently obvious, a medical recommendation for reasonable accommodation. Having reviewed Mr. Finley’s medical information, as his primary care physician over the past five years, I can verify, without providing a definitive diagnosis, that Mr. Finley suffers from an ongoing and permanent, lifelong disability which substantially limits the following major life activities as…

Handicapped individuals are gifted human beings who have a mental or physical disability. Individuals could be born handicapped or be one during their lifetime. Many people are blessed to be born with great cognitive, physical, psychological, and sensory abilities; however, there are those who are not born with the same capabilities. Therefore, they have disabled health conditions and are referred to as handicapped: A disability is a condition or function judged to be significantly impaired…

depression and anxiety experience stigma both in and out of the classroom setting. This is an important problem to resolve because mental health stigma in schools can directly affect students’ academic success. If a student is struggling with a hidden disability it is possible that it may be impeding on their ability to perform adequately (Coduti, Hayes, Locke, & Youn, 2016). There is a disconnect between students and professors that often occurs throughout the academic year. As a result of…

The way people with disabilities are portrayed on television and in film has a significant impact on how society views them. The television series ‘Glee’ is a popular show with a wide audience of viewers and numerous characters who have disabilities. Given Glee’s viewership, this show can shape how many young people view the disabled community. Therefore, I chose to explore Glee’s character Artie Abrams, a high school student who is bound to a wheelchair due an injury he sustained in a car…

We often need to see some form of evidence before we accept it as truth, therefore, we view people with invisible disabilities as…

How do we know if service animals are allowed in facilities? According to the ADA, both state, local governments and facilities that serve the general public must allow service animals to accompany people with disabilities in all areas in which individuals without disabilities would go. The perfect example to this rule would be denying accommodations to lodge because the guest has an animal that is assisting them. A case that reflects this situation is: Plaintiff United States of America and…

For the disability ministry project, we were asked to choose a practicum experience where we shadowed or spoke to someone helping someone with a disability. For my project I chose to spend some time in the class for disabled children at the high school I graduated from. Throughout the glimpse of time that was allotted for this particular practicum experience I learned a lot of exciting things about disabilities, but also made some disconcerting revelations. While spending the day at school I was…

When I first came to college, I was scared to take a college level English class. In high school, I slacked off all of my English classes due to the fact that all teachers taught pointless lessons. In addition, students would get A’s or B’s for the words that are on paper rather than the critical analyzes.
