The article The Psychological View of Disability Culture, by Carol Jill, gives great insight to the disabled community. Things we must keep in mind as teachers of disabled students. Ms Jill states, “Core values of the disabled are: 1) An acceptance of human differences, 2) A matter-of-fact orientation toward helping; an acceptance of human vulnerability and interdependence as part of life, 3) A flexible, adaptive approach to tasks; a creativity stimulated by both limited resources and experience with untraditional modes of operating.” Teachers must also hold these values when creating a learning environment for their disabled students.
