Preface

Paraprofessional,

Chapter One

Inclusion :

PAS model presents 3 dimensions of inclusion:

1 physical inclusion: same learning spcaces

2 academic inclusion: accessing to appropriate learning opportunities

3 Social inclusion: meaningful social interactions with peers, which is hindered by poor attitudes
toward disability.

Ableist attitudes

People with disabilities , marginalized,

Architectural barriers vs attitudinal barriers

Ableism, a view or attitude that treats people without disabilities as “normal” and those with
disabilities as ‘abnormal,’ ‘inferior,’ ‘other.”

Stereotypes, prejudice, and discrimination toward people with disabilities are collectively
known as ableism.

Stereotypes: overgeneralizing limitations, people in wheelchairs have intellectual limitations.

Prejudices: feeling pity for disabilities

Discrimination is overtly problematic, excluding people with disabilities

Stereotypes are cognitive in nature, and prejudices are emotional.

Deficit thinking, low expectations for the disabilities

Research suggests that teaching children about progressive understandings of disability can be
an effective way to challenge ableism.
