Personal Reflection #2 – Integrating Special needs Individuals into society

Based on our class discussions and my research’s into future center and Paralympics I can reflect on how people can be better integrated into society in these ways

In my opinion the society or the government should make the children  that is  Paralympics or  special needs go to normal school so they can mingle with other people and don’t feel that there’s a big different . But they should have other classrooms but the same schools and they should keep their records of their disability a secret and all the information is confidential so other kids won’t know they have disabilities or they get bullied by the normal kids. And the government should offer the wheel chairs people some ramps for wheelchair instead of stairs and they should make parking for them. And for the family who has a special need child they don’t let their child in home or hide him from society they should make the child go out with his family and mingle with other children and be treated as a normal kid. They should treat the special need person as a normal person during work. They should do the whole interview processes and training to the special needs person and see if his skills are suited in the work place. In our country they usually feel sorry for the special needs people but that’s wrong they should encourage him as much as you can so he feel as normal as anyone.

In conclusion in my opinion and my researches special need people should be treated as normal person weather in school or during work or any public places and should be out in public as a normal person to mingle with normal people and society.
