It is important not to stereotype a child with a disability, as this can lead to low self-esteem, for example a child with specific learning needs might be expected to do poorly in all subjects at school not just the ones affected by the learning need and this is not always the case. Since I have worked in our setting I have been introduced to quite a few children which have different types of disabilities. We aim to make sure that each individual is treated the same and included in all activities by adapting the activity to the child's individual

Progression have been crafting disability solutions for organisations for over 14 years. During this time natural patterns have emerged. This brought about an evolution in Progression’s integration processes, which have since been analysed and developed into a holistic Disability Integration Model. The various solutions offered by Progression have been split into three different stages within the model. The Progression Assessment Centre was established as a dedicated part of the business to enable Disability Equity strategies to be fully assessed in an inclusive manner.

Furthermore, middle school can be very stressful for children with disabilities. Children with disabilities in middle school have a hard time learning new ideas because the information begins to be more complex and more information is presented at one time. This makes it harder for children with disabilities to comprehend because new skills are required to be learned and memorized. Children with disabilities suffer from attention problems, emotional disorders, boredom, and also loss of motivation. Children with disabilities also face problems with organization.
Introduction Social, Emotional, Behavioural, difficulties (SEBD) are a significant impediment to effective teaching and learning in many countries alike (Pillaya, Dunbar-Krigeb and Mostertc, 2013; Doyle, 2003). SEBD is described in the Special Educational Needs (SEN) Code of Practice (DfE, 2001, p.93) as ‘Children and young people who demonstrate features of emotional and behavioural difficulties, who are withdrawn or isolated, disruptive and disturbing, hyperactive and lack concentration; those with immature social skills; and those presenting challenging behaviours arising from other complex special needs’. The purpose of this assignment is to critically evaluate, NGs effectiveness to promote social and emotional competence in children with
Inclusion is a philosophy that is heavily used in today’s society. It encourages individuals, schools, and regions to accept and give worth to everyone in spite of their differences. In line with this philosophy are the certainties that each individual has a place, diversity is appreciated, and that we can all learn from each other (Renzaglia, Karvonen, Drasgow, & Stoxen, 2003). With these beliefs in mind when working in the education system, the Universal Design for Learning framework (UDL) shows how all students can access and engage in learning, no matter how severe the disability. With UDL being a guided principle in special education, students with severe disabilities are able to access the general education curriculum, engage with regular education peers, and are regarded as respected individuals in the their schools and community.
CHAPTER ONE: INTRODUCTION People make numerous decisions every day that have varying degrees of importance to their well-being. Being able to make decisions influences the short and long term paths that are available to students as a member of a school setting and then as a community member. Making decisions is one of the skills examined in the self-determination theory with students with learning disabilities (U. S. Department of Education, 2013). As noted by the United States Department of Education, National Center for Education Statistics, the most frequent special education disability classification category is Specific Learning Disabilities.

They face daily discrimination; we do not express it but we’re irritated by their presence. An estimate suggests that there are at least 93 million children with disabilities in the world. Just imagine, 93 million innocent children becoming victims of this discrimination. Disability is not when you’re lacking body parts, brain control or having unnatural reactions. Disabled people are not lacking anything, they are being able to do, think and react in different ways.
The reason for this is because the cause can be very difficult to determine. For socially constructed disabilities, it is important to determine if the cause is actually a disability or if the child is does not fit into the expected norms of society. In other words, is this a true disability or is it considered a disability due to social norms and standards. Furthermore, do these social constructs cause the exclusion of students from general education classroom or other situation that students would normally be allowed to participate?
Keywords: ‘Intellectual disability*’ OR ‘learning disability*’ OR ‘mental retardation’, ‘communication’, ‘pain’. Chapter One: 1.0: Introduction: 1.1: Background: People who have an intellectual disability often experience difficulty in relation to communication. According to the World Health Organisation (Euro.who.int, 2016), ‘Intellectual disability means a significantly reduced ability to understand new or complex information and to learn and apply new skills (impaired intelligence). This results in a reduced ability to cope independently (impaired social functioning), and begins before adulthood, with a lasting effect on development.’
