    It is essential that all students have access to a quality education and an inclusive education system should meet their diverse needs. The Victorian Department of Education and Early Childhood Development [DEECD] (2014) stipulates that education providers must make ‘reasonable adjustments’ to support students with disabilities to comply with the standard. Graduate teachers should also demonstrate an understanding of legislative requirements and be able to identify teaching strategies that support the involvement and learning of students with disabilities (AITSL, 2014). They should understand the importance of focusing on what a student with a disability can do and work with the student’s strengths. A graduate teacher should know what resources, agencies and assistive technologies are available to support the learning needs of a student with a disability.

  • Dylan Alcott's Disability

    1496 Words  | 3 Pages

    Disability is a ‘complex issue’ (Alperstein, M., Atkins, S., Bately, K., Coetzee, D., Duncan, M., Ferguson, G., Geiger, M. Hewett, G., et al.., 2009: 239) which affects a large percentage of the world’s population. Due to it being complex, one can say that disability depends on one’s perspective (Alperstein et al., 2009: 239). In this essay, I will draw on Dylan Alcott’s disability and use his story to further explain the four models of disability being The Traditional Model, The Medical Model, The Social Model and The Integrated Model of Disability. Through this, I will reflect on my thoughts and feelings in response to Dylan’s story as well as to draw on this task and my new found knowledge of disability in aiding me to become

  • Aimee Mulara A Phenomenology Of Disability

    1176 Words  | 3 Pages

    When many of us hear the word “disabled,” we often times have a preconceived notion characterized as a limited individual or even one who lacks skillfulness. Although most of us don’t choose these thoughts in a critical manner, we frequently overlook the potential opportunities that these disabled individuals have to adapt and overcome difficulty. In all fairness, I can admit that at times when I have thought of a “disabled” individual, I am guilty of having a predetermined mindset. Since being recently introduced to “Clara: A Phenomenology of Disability,” and Aimee Mullins “The Opportunity of Adversity,” I have become much more mindful in the way I perceive those living life with a disability and how it may affect their future.

    Everyday Australians play at least one sport every week, whether it be AFL, cricket, basketball, volleyball or any other sport. We participate in sports for fun, but we have reasons for joining the sport chosen, for instance, we join a sport because of our culture or we join because of how much access we have to the sport. For lots of kids, they join a sport as they have lots of ways to access the sport because of their local communities supporting their club, or through their school helping them give options to lots of sporting clubs. Schools especially help as they let the students participate in every sport and that helps them decide on what sport they would like to join. Schools are a part of the institutional level of Figueroa’s framework and this level had the most impact on me when I participated in volleyball for my school.

  • Literature Review On Sport Participation And After School Drop Out Rates

    1425 Words  | 3 Pages

    The Department of Health (2004) state in a recent report that Sport and physical activity can help decrease the likelihood of developing diseases such as coronary heart disease, stroke and type II diabetes by up to 50%, furthermore the report states that physical activity can reduce the risk of suffering a premature death by approximately 20-30%. These staggering statistics demonstrate the powerful impact physical activity can have in regards to combating health risks in the UK. The benefits to health that derive from adherence in physical activity and sport are overwhelming, however, health is not the only benefit to be obtained from an active society. Sullivan, C. (1998. cited in Collins and Kay, 2003) found that sport can help to encourage the growth of community, family and personal cohesion as well as help reduce intensity of youth delinquency. From the observations made in this paragraph it is feasible to suggest that having an active nation will result in a wide spectrum of benefits.

  • Stricken By Disability Analysis

    Education certainly falls short when it pertains to having conversations with individuals that subsequently have a disability. Foolish questions are raised without thinking about the feelings of others. Three resilient ladies, who have disabilities themselves have been stricken with questions such as “So, what is it that’s wrong with you?”, “What happened to you?”, and ‘Were you in some kind of accident?” (Brown, Nevison, Nevison). Even statements that appear so innocent keep being revealed. Rosemarie Garland-Thomson said a respectable friend of hers once said “I don’t think of you as disabled.” She revealed that her friend did not say it to be rude but that it “was meant as a compliment.” Questions originate into several minds on why individuals are not educated adequately about the forms of disabilities and in what way to talk and approach somebody with a disability. Brown mentions how she endures the pain and maintains a conventional face at an office party just to refrain from being presented with an abundance of questions. Why is everyone unconcerned about disabilities and the change that society can make as a whole? Receiving more education within the school system regarding disabilities, programs throughout the community, and kindness can altogether go a long

  • People with Disabilities Need Inclusion

    2230 Words  | 5 Pages

    According to the World Health Organisation (2011), there are more than 1 billion people with disabilities in the world, with this number rising. Many of these people will be excluded from the regular situations we, ‘the ordinary’, experience in everyday life. One of these experiences is our right to education. Article 42 of the Irish Constitution states that the state shall provide for free primary education until the age of 18, but is this the right to the right education? Why should being born with a disability, something which is completely out of your control, automatically limit your chances of success and cut you off from the rest of society due to being deemed ‘weaker’ by people who have probably never met you? With approximately 15% of the world’s population having disabilities, how come society is unable to fully accept people with disabilities? In order to break this notion, we must begin with inclusion.

    Whether born from ignorance, fear, misunderstanding, or hate, society’s attitudes limit people from experiencing and appreciating the full potential a person with a disability can achieve. This treatment is unfair, unnecessary, and against the law (Purdie). Discrimination against people with disabilities is one of the greatest social injustices in the country today. Essential changes are needed in society’s basic outlook in order for people with disabilities to have an equal opportunity to succeed in life. To begin with, full inclusion in the education system for people with disabilities should be the first of many steps that are needed to correct the social injustices that people with disabilities currently face.

    Prior to attending this event my knowledge on the topic of disabilities was very general. I knew that people with a disability have a harder life and have to deal with people making jokes and laughing at them. I also learned that the simple things in life that people who do not have disability take for granted are some of the main things people with disabilities deal with. Things like stepping up to a curve with no curve cuts, using a public restroom, driving a car, walking, putting on clothes, or reading. My perceptive came from personal and life experiences. I have witnessed disabled people who are my friends and family, treated poorly by others.
