[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Nothing like telling a kid he is "disabled" in order to build his self-esteem![/quote] If the kid is disabled, they shouldn't be afraid to say that they are disabled. Stop stigmatizing our disabilities. [/quote] This is not an intuitive viewpoint and School Board candidates should not be criticized for not knowing that’s how some in your community want to be portrayed. Others may prefer to focus on their abilities or special needs rather than to be defined by their disabilities. [/quote] +1 I would NEVER tell my child that he is disabled. I have a different point of view. But, again, what does "disabled" cover? Is a child who stutters disabled? One who has auditory learning issues? Dyslexia? Does this cover any learning issue and physical disabilities? Is "learning differently" considered a disability? What are people doing to the kids?[/quote]
