Disability Research Papers Samples For Students

Introduction

Many people have argued to the effect that disability is not inability. However, the fact remains that people with disabilities in the society face a lot of discriminations. This discrimination is always based on a number of factors. Despite the efforts by governments, the fact remains that the disabled in the community face specific challenges that the people without the disabilities do not face. Whether in the employment sector, the transportation department, the corporate world or the day to day happenings, the disabled face several challenges. Most governments have made efforts to ensure that the disabled in the society are equally ...

The Americans with Disability Act (ADA) refers to the federal laws that illegalize discrimination against people with disability. It provides civil rights to the disabled and prohibits discrimination in public services, employment as well as in public accommodation. Again, under the same act, there exist certain title-like chapters. For instance, Title 1 prohibits employment discrimination against disabled people by the employers with more than 15 employees.

The Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD) was ratified by Australia in 2007, and it became effective by 2008. This ratification ensures that people with disabilities enjoy human rights on the same level as their abled counterparts (WWDA, 2014). In November 2009, the Australian Prime Minister stated that the National Disability strategy would be developed (WWDA, 2014). The Council of Australian Governments would ensure ...

Introduction

Learning disabilities could remain for life-long if not diagnosed and addressed. Moreover, it could have an influence on different parts of an individual’s life. Some people have apparent overlapping learning disabilities, while others may have isolated or single learning problem i.e., the greater the number of disabilities, the larger its impact on lives (Perry, Marston, Eva, Hammond and Gaskell, 2010, 104). Thus, it is important to diagnose learning disabilities in children.
This paper initially defines learning disabilities. Moreover, the current issues in learning disabilities are highlighted i.e., the more appropriate measure to identify and treat learning disabilities. ...

Introduction

A presidential pardon is the clemency of an offense and the withdrawal of a pertinent penalty. The head of state or the president is responsible for granting this pardon. This process usually follows a number of procedures before it can take place. It involves remission, commutation, pardoning and reprieve. Currently, a number of countries offer presidential pardons for convicts who have ensured that they settled their debts to the community. Sometimes presidential pardons are given to those individuals who have been convicted wrongfully. However, today, such cases of wrongful conviction are often handled by an appeal instead of pardon. In this view, ...

Abstract
This paper is about the how people with mental disabilities are treated in today’s society. This paper will discuss in detail how people with mental disabilities should not be mistreated due to their illness and how more government funding should be made available for people with mental disabilities. I will also discuss the lack of social services for people with mental disabilities which lead to even more harsh treatment towards people with mental disabilities. People who have actually been diagnosed with a mental disability should be more carefully monitored rather than outcast by society.

Introduction

Individuals who are suffering from learning disabilities need attention, reinforcement, and care. The delivery of the stated elements allows them to appear with a robust wisdom of self-worth, self-assurance, and the willpower to behave actively in critical situations. Continuous research provides evidence that attests to the ability of children with learning disabilities to adopt and learn. Consequently, it is the responsibility of teachers and schools to foster the integration of these children to teach them to cope and learn, as well as to compete favorably and hold their knowledge with their heads held high among their counterparts in school. ...

The idea that schools should provide accommodations for those students who experience difficulty and disability is a relatively new one. In the past, primary, secondary, and tertiary educational institutions existed as institutions; however, as the sciences advanced and more became known about the nature of human learning disabilities, institutions of all different types and sizes began to realize that a learning disability is not necessarily associated with an intellectual disability. With this realization came the development of a number of important programs, all of which have one particular end goal: to develop an educational system in which people can ...

When any student begins their educational journey, together with their parents and caregivers, it is often an assumption that everything will work out well. The belief tends to be that the child will learn and understand all the concepts beginning from the most basic tasks, such as learning to write alphabetic letters, to the more complex tasks, such as solving challenging algebraic equations. However, this is not always the case, as some children, not only when they are young but also as they grow older, face many challenges that affect their learning. Learning disability is a complicated disorder affecting the ...

Issues in Special Education: Inclusion of Students with Special Needs

Background
In the world over, the concept of inclusion of people with disability, particularly inclusion in education, is increasingly becoming a vital issue of concern as several attempts are being made to offer people with disability similar opportunities that are available to people who do not have any impairment of any kind. Ideally, children are considered disabled in learning if, for some reasons, they are not able to learn normally as their counterparts with similar ages and as Holt (2004) documents, disabled are not able to use the same learning facilities as the ones used by their counterparts. Additionally, ...

Abstract

This paper will reflect over the learning strategies in education with students with disabilities. The will reflect over student that have learning disabilities. It will also reflect over student that have disabilities because of autism. The reason for this is because, in several cases, children with learning disabilities are assumed to have autism. This might sound surprising to some people, but it has happened. This is why this will this paper will reflect over the need for the qualifications for teachers, teacher aids, tutors and the testing to decide if a child has a disability. These are two separate disabilities, but ...

Inclusion and Children with Disabilities

Exclusion of children with disabilities is a controversial issue. All over the country, children with disabilities as well as their families are not fully enjoying their fundamental human rights and are facing constant barriers to inclusion in society. Marginalization of disabled children deters them from realizing their full potential in life. Though there has been a positive change toward positive perception of children with disabilities, what people refer to as inclusion is not what inclusion implies since there are many incidences of differential treatment not only to children with disabilities but also to their families.

Different people describe inclusion ...

Introduction

The Canadian government gives special attention to children who have disabilities as well as their families. This is because of the special attention that these children require in terms of home care, healthcare and education (Irwin, & Brophy, 2000). This is due to mental health, physical health or emotional conditions, which affect these children as they grow. It requires an extra financial cost to take care of children with disabilities, which becomes an extra burden to their parents. Children with disabilities develop and grow in unique ways with regards to their relationship with other members of the society. The environmental ...

Abstract

This research paper discusses adapting the learning environment for children with disabilities, first defining that learning environment and suggesting the disabilities that might be encountered. The research found that different disabilities and the degrees of those disabilities require correspondingly different types of adaptations to the learning environment in terms of modifications to classroom layout, lighting and furnishings, to classroom tools, equipment and play items, and in some instances even modifications to the building itself. It became apparent that a comprehensive plan is required, to achieve the goal of giving disabled children exactly the same learning opportunities as their peers. The ...

Hearing impairment is a disability that involves the diminished or missing capacity for hearing in an individual. Partial and full deafness can cause substantial problems in learning, due to the lack of visual cues and an inability for teachers to adapt their curriculum to individuals with hearing disabilities. In today's world, the need for an education, particularly up to a college degree, is absolutely imperative to gaining stable employment, making it vital for citizens, regardless of disability, to have the chance to gain that education (Boutin, 2008). In this paper, the nature of hearing impairment will be detailed, as well as ...

Many people with disability have observed and experienced substantial change to cultural approaches towards disability in their lifetimes. People with disability experience serious difficulties of misunderstanding and discrimination. Society attitudes towards disability are emphasized by the accepted terminology used to define people with disability.

ABSTRACT
Over the past decades, there has been a significant shift in the perceived best practices in the field of special education. While the paradigm for special education, at one time, involved removing students with special needs from the classroom to receive specialized instruction from specifically trained practitioners, the social stigma and lack of academic progress pushed administrators to move toward a more inclusive philosophy of education. A meta-synthesis was performed of past quantitative and qualitative studies to determine what type of structure will best ...

The Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA) is comprehensive federal legislation that prohibits discrimination against persons that have a disability of impairment (Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990).

Abstract

This paper explores various published articles that address employee insurance programs available for employees in an organization, particularly in the United States. The article discusses different aspects life insurance and disability so that when they are evaluated collectively, they create a rational analysis of the subject of the research. Hasman et al. (2004) explain the current employee insurance situation in the country. Martoccio (2010) and Fronstin (2007) provide a detailed discussion of employee benefits. The discussion available in these two sources tends to create several categories of both life insurance and disability insurance, describing how offering such plans may ...

Inadequate Recreation Facilities for the Disabled

Recreation facilities are very essential, not only for the disabled, but also for all groups of people. Recreation refers to the action of obtaining leisure at one’s own suitable time (Kraus, 2008). It helps in relaxing and resting the body; thus, it is very crucial in our psychological and biological status. In this regard, recreation is generally considered as any activity that aims at having fun, amusement, pleasure, or enjoyment (Yukic, 1990).

Statement of the Problem

The overall recreation industry is faced by a very huge challenge when it comes to serving all interested groups. One of the most negatively affected groups is ...

For instance, mental health is defined by the World Health Organization (WHO) as a state of emotional well-being which enables one to not only to function comfortably within society and but also to be satisfied with one’s own achievements. In essence therefore, mental health refers to the successful adaptation to stressors ...

Introduction

Context and Thesis Statement
Although Western countries have issued acts to support students with special needs to be taught in normal schools, as part of the inclusive education program, schools are still reluctant in receiving students with different types of disabilities, facing various challenges that refer to the prestige of the school, to meeting inclusion standards and regular examinations in this purpose or to installing increased bureaucratic educational demands (Konza, 2008). Schools’ attitudes towards the children with special educational needs vary between aiming for an inclusive education and between maintaining the elitist standards, where inclusive education is not ...

The acceptance of those with special needs, like those with Down Syndrome, as an example, is a significant topic in the world today. While legislation like the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) had worked to ensure that these individuals have equal access to education, employment and housing, among other rights, legislation alone cannot alter how these individuals are viewed. As a result, there is a remaining need to educate people and to generate acceptance of these differences among the public.

Situational Analysis

Currently, there are a number of foundations funding the public campaign to increase awareness and acceptance of those with ...

The direction which the globe is heading mandates that social boundaries which existed in the past should be blurred progressively and finally, every bit of discrimination and categorization should be eliminated. The first was abolition of the slave trade to make all men equal and free. Next followed the emancipation of women to recognize their ability to contribute to society and build an identity for themselves. What followed next was the condemnation of racial segregation. Men of all types of color have equal access to all types of services, jobs and residential locations. This humanitarian wind has brought dignity ...

Summaries of Articles

In a sensitive article that confronts ableism, Hehir (2007) talks about the factors that make life miserable for the disabled. According to the author, society has put on a pervasive negative attitude towards disability, which defines ableism. The key problem, he says, is that ableist assumptions hinder the progress of the differently challenged.
For instance, the society preaches that it is better to be able to read normally, than to Braille. That is preferable to walk or hear on one’s won, rather than to use a wheelchair or hearing aid respectively. It is this attitude that brings in a divide and ...

Wheelchair Rugby

Abstract

The time delay is used in teaching after the teacher has given a task direction of the skill. It is allowed to pass before a prompt is offered with the major aim that the student will accomplish the task independently without any intervention from the teacher. This is used mainly in helping students with mild mental retardation and learning disabilities having difficulties in reading without the intervention of the teacher. This is because if an intervention is not made then there is the chance that the student will not have the ability to accomplish the task that they have been handed ...

American's with Disabilities Act

In the history of the United States many groups have worked toward and gained, to varying levels of success, equality. We are no longer a nation that only values the rich, white, male land owners with the aristocratic pedigree. Women and minorities have gained the right to vote, own property, attend school and many more. One demographic in the quest for equality for most of the history of the United States was ignored and perhaps not even considered to be significant or even worth any attention at all. This group is the disabled individuals.
According to the US census ...
