, Question 1:
1.1 According to the medical paradigm, a disability is a deviation from normal
development or a condition that "affects" or "causes difficulty" in people. This
paradigm assumes that students with disabilities have impairments or medical
problems that require expert medical diagnosis, care, and management. Instead,
than emphasizing the societal and environmental elements that may have
contributed to the person's handicap, the individual's physical or mental health is the
main emphasis.
Difference has traditionally been associated with deviance in Western societies, and
those who are perceived as different have experienced marginalization,
discrimination, or worse. Disability is positioned as a social, cultural, and political
issue that may be questioned in the medical model of disabilities studies. Disability
Studies had their start as a grassroots civil rights movement in the 1960s, focusing
on the human rights of people with disabilities as a marginalized group and
challenging the antiquated sociocultural conception of disability as deficiency.
1.2 People with learning disabilities may internalize stigma and mistreatment, leading
to "self-stigma." When teenagers and young people with disabilities leave school, the
effects of a lack of inclusive, high-quality learning are most evident. While only a tiny
percentage of disabled children earn their secondary school diploma, or "matric,"
many disabled teenagers and young adults remain at home after completing their
mandatory schooling because they lack the fundamental life skills. The kind and
level of instruction provided in the special schools they attend has an impact on their
ability to transition into skill-based job, employment, or higher education. Low Self-
Esteem and Confidence is another problem. Students with impairments may have
low self-esteem and confidence as a result of frequently being labelled as abnormal.
They could absorb how society views their differences, which would leave them
feeling less confident about themselves and their talents.
Another effect is that many public schools provide low-quality instruction in
unfavourable learning settings for students with disabilities. They are still severely
impacted by a lack of incentives for teachers to work with students who have
disabilities, a lack of understanding and practical training about the needs of children
with different disabilities, and a lack of teacher training and awareness about
inclusive education methodologies.
