- 15 minutesQuestion – think about ALL barriers, not just physicalAttitudinal barriers – do places in our community allow for loudness, movement, limited reading skills? What if people don’t have a physical disability but a sensory or intellectual one? Are we still accessible to those individuals?
- p. 19. read, then share as whole group. (10 minutes max)Labels and diagnoses: mental retardation, epilepsy, autism, physical disability, chronic health problems, serious ED; paralysis from broken neckGoals: to work in a “real job”, earn money, and make decisions about how she spends her own moneyOpportunities: video store job: work with movies which she loves, earn more money, work with non-disabled co-workersSupports needed: behavior supports (schedule, praise, varied ways of giving critical feedback), transportation, banking assistance, money mgt.What issues would the employer raise about her capability to perform the essential functions of the job?2 What could you see as the “reasonable accommodations” necessary to help Sarina succeed at this job if she were hired? Must be able to create a “fair and level playing field”. The test is its effectiveness. Does the accommodation provide an opportunity for the person with a disability to achieve the same level of performance equal to those of a person without a disability? examples: * Change work hours or schedules: i.e. allowing a diabetic employee to take regular meal breaks during a shift. * Modifications of job tasks: i.e. allowing a blind office worker to substitute transcription and duplicating duties for proofreading and filing. * Division of tasks among employees: i.e. allowing a bookkeeper who is deaf to trade phone duties with another employee in exchange for filing duties. * Provide large-button touch-tone telephone for someone who has low vision or poor hand coordination.

- Disorder: a disturbance in normal mental, physical, or psychological functioning. A general and broad term (example: language disorder, eating disorder, psychological disorder - all refer to a broad range of specific conditions)Disability: click for hyperlink slideHandicap: a limitation imposed on a person by the environment and the person’s capacity to cope with that limitation. Ex: a person with a physical disability who uses a wheelchair. When a place isn’t accessible, the disability becomes a handicap. Not everyone with a disability has a handicap in all environments. Comes form phrase “cap in hand” from when disabled persons were forced to beg in the street. Hate seeing that word on signs now!Exceptional: far-reaching term to describe a person who differs substantially from what is typical in terms of physical, behavioral, or intellectual performance. Can mean extraordinary abilities like GT, and/or disabilities like SLD or intellectual disabilities. Labels can be positive or negative, and are often based on perceptions and ideas rather than facts. While labels are necessary by the law in order to obtain and provide services for people, they also promote stereotyping and exclusion.

- Developmental approach involves looking at typical development. Statistics tell us what is normal and typical development. Ex: the average 12 month old says 1-2 words and walks independently. Based on data and observations of a large sample of 12 month olds. BEHAVIOR BASEDCultural: here, cultural values define what is typical and normal. People are considered different when they do something that is frowned upon by the rest of their society, according of the majority. VALUE BASEDSelf-labeling: this has to do with how we see ourselves instead of how others see us. So, someone may be labeled by their culture or society but refuse to accept that label as true. Ex: thomas Edison labeled as intellectually disabled, but he understood that he was an individual thinker. Ignored label given to him by others. SELF-PERCEPTION BASEDExample of Thomas Edison rejecting label of being intellectually disabled. All of these approaches influence the effects of being labeled
