Individuals with Disabilities

People in social groups in today's date are usually welcomed into society without any problems. One of these groups are Individuals with disabilities a social group that is mention a lot in today’s date. In the stories of this social group shows that people with disabilities can also participate in daily activities, but the challenge they face is that they learn things a little slower than normal. The people in the stories describe themselves as being normal, but just don’t have something that everybody else has. The correlation that I had this year with this group was that the freshman baseball team invited people with learning disabilities out to play baseball. I believe that the social group Individuals with disabilities are the most stereotype group today, one the biggest stereotypes being that they can’t do anything.

The people in the stories are very different from each other. For example Bo who has a learning disabilities has trouble initiating conversation with others and Hasaan who was born with physical disabilities. The difference between the two is that one has to do mentally while the other is physically. The challenge that this social group faces is the stereotype that they can’t do anything at all or participate in anything without the help of others. The perspective that is missing from the articles are the views of Individuals with disabilities on how they feel.

The things others won’t understand is that the members of this social group take longer to understand things than others and that it takes patients to teach them things. Some assumptions people will make about this group is that it only has people with learning disabilities in it, but there are also physically disabilities in it too. A stereotype that is made about this group is that people with disabilities always need help. This is proven untrue because in the video Stylists with learning disabilities making customers smile it shows that people with disabilities can work at a hair salon by themselves without help. A way that you can help with Individuals with disabilities is that you get to know them before making assumptions on who they are. Another way you can help them is try and not feel empathy of who they are and show it while talking to them.

I believe that the social group Individuals with disabilities are the most stereotype group today, one the biggest stereotypes being that they can’t do anything.

There are two types of people in this social group one being that there are people with learning disabilities and the other people with physical disabilities. One of the stereotype for this group that is made a lot is that they always need help. One of the biggest challenges this group faces is being accepted by others for who they are. I believe that Individuals with disabilities are welcomed into society, but they are stereotyped in many ways about who they are and what they can do.
