Due to illness, I was unable to make Monday’s lecture which was based on focus on disability. However, reading over the matrials on moodle, I have grasped the key concepts in the powerpoint and extra reading materials.

I found it interesting that many people in 2017 still have negative attitudes towards people with a disability. It also shocked me that people with a physical or mental impairment in the past, would sometimes be executed. As time have moved on, I feel it is important to take into consideration that everyone should be equal under the Human Rights Act and the Equality Act.

I found it important that we must target young people and educate them about disability at a young age. Children must develop an understanding of disability and explore their own attitudes and values around this subject. They must evaluate negative stereotypes and notice that a change has to be made.

I think this is interesting as I will have to educate children around this topic. I would love to be part of a school that promotes disability equality. I would have a can do attitude in the class room which would have an impact on peoples lives.
