Mild to Moderate disabilities?
94413
The terms mild, moderate, or severe are trems the medical community likes to through out to help parents feel some sort of ease in their childs disability.  In concerns to the childs learning abitliy and how the teachers teach or treat students with learning disabilities, there should be not worries.  Let me explain... By law every student has the same right to an education without predjudice to their learning ability.  The student with a learning disability, (or his/her parents) need to let the school know that the student needs accomidation.  These accomidations are spelled out in every state and must be given to all who ask and are documented wtih a disability.  There are even accomidations for students that have no disabilities, that are required by law available for thier use.  Every school in the USA should have someone that works in Disability Support Services.  They will have all the information and acconidations avaliable for you. But Remember!!  YOU MUST ASK FOR ACCOMIDATIONS.  Once the advisor for disablity services has document the students needs, and gets it aproved by the state, a copy of that students accomidations is given to his/her instructors. The instructor are bound by law and the school to give those accomidation.\nAccomidations can range from:  extra time on test, private room for testing, scribe, lessons on tape, large text books,use of a calculator for ALL math, use of a computer.  This is a very short list of what may be available, but please don't give up.\nAs far as implications for the teacher, trust me there are NONE, we will do everything possible to help a student succeed, and I do mean everything,  Well except give them the answers.  Good luck, a disability support instructor.\nIn my site source, if you live in wisconsin (wi)type in your states initials.

You are probably young, but it depends on what you mean by "disabled". Blind, deaf, paralyzed ??? Most disabled people learn to live with their limitations graciously and lead FULL lives.

Can I make one small suggestion: disabled people do not like being called "handicapped" or "the disabled", so you would do well to refer to them in your project as either "disabled people" or "people with a disability".\n\nYou may find it helpful to contact www.handicap-international.org.uk/page_184.php\n\nI would also suggest contacting your State and City governments to see whether there are any statutory regulations that apply in Bangalore.

I think it differs by where you are located but your best bet is to find out who your ADA Coordinator is and contacting them about getting special accommodations for those with disabilities. If I knew where you were located I might be able to be more help.

I'm in Middle school and I'm blind in one eye and have limited vision in the other. There are a few hard parts 1 not being able to do somethings your friends and peers can, 2 not having teachers get papers enlarged so you can read them # having people hear "disability" and think you are mentally handicapped. But every day gives you new hardest things and you learn to work around them. My impairment has given me a lot of patients and helps me understand other people with disabilities.

It depends on what kind of disability group are you starting.  Deafness?  Wheelchair users?  Blind?  ADD/ADHD?  The catchy phrase could depend on what type of disability group you are forming.

A guy once told me, Half of america has it, it's no big deal, don't be worried about it, concentrate on what matters to you the most and focus your energy on it. A.D.D. can be a big advantage in certain situations. But, if you continue to see it as a handicap, then that is exactly what it will be.

Go into some of the classes with your child. You and your child can tell them what it is like to be disabled and have a disabled child. I think everyone would be more aware of disabilities. Good luck.

Legally it is NOT considered a disability. But once you begin to suffer many of the effects (neuropathy, amputations, blindness, etc.) then those are considered disabilities.

I have CMT (charcot-marie-tooth), also a muscular disease. My case is very mild as well. I'm 36.\n\nI didn't find out until I was 15, but I played sports. I ran track and played basketball. I wasn't very good, but my disease is why. I didn't know that at the time. \n\nI would say try a sport that isn't too strenuous. Something like swimming (which is doctor recommended for most muscular diseases), baseball or anything he's capable of doing.\n\nKeep in mind the psychological aspects of trying harder than the others and not doing as well as this is possible. Then again, only you know his abilities.
