1. Social Barriers in Inclusive Education

2. “A disability doesn't have to be a social barrier.
Good etiquette begins with inclusion, not
exclusion.” - Robert M. Hensel
“There is no greater disability in society, than
the inability to see a person as more.”
- Dahot M Loncol

BARRIER
 Social barriers are related to the conditions in which people are
born, grow, live, learn, work and age – or social determinants of
health – that can contribute to decreased functioning among
people with disabilities.
 Areas that are traditionally poor and those with higher-than-
average Unemployment rates tend to have schools that reflect that
environment, such as run-down facilities, students who are unable
to afford basic necessities and other barriers to the learning
process.
 Violence, poor health services, and other social factors make
create barriers even for traditional learners, and these challenges
make inclusion all but impossible.
 Children with disabilities are almost four times more likely to
experience violence than children without disabilities.

Disabilities throughout history have always been seen in a
negative manner:

they performed skull surgeries to release the supernatural entities.

First I believe it is important for the school and teachers to be aware of their
students current health and of any Disabilities.
 This can affect the health and well-being of people with disabilities of
any ages.
 How to Improve the conditions of daily life in the class rooms:
 Encouraging communities to be accessible so all can live in,
move through, and interact with their environment.
 Encouraging community living. And nonjudgmental stares.
 Removing barriers in the environment.
 Teachers should reinforce policy and make sure others are
respectful. Also promote equality and an environment that is
tolerant and understanding of differences and disabilities. Through
this reinforcement the Main focus should be always be education.

 Class age: +13 aged students.
 Survey in family and neighbourhood: conduct possible survey
questions about Disabled peopled. These questions should vary
and not only pertain to the stereo typical physical disabilities but
everything across the spectrum.
 Construct the survey: pass it out to each other in the class room,
then to peers on campus.
 Purpose - the purpose of the survey is raise awareness of what
people may “think” they know. Realize what is false, what the
stereotypes are and to educate!
The small groups should come together in class and cross analyze
their results and those of their peers on campus.

 The next task should be to prepare a day of awareness on
campus. Searching for guest speakers to talk about how they
have lived with their disability, and find resources for those who
are living with a disability and are not treating themselves
because of fear of exclusion by society.
 This day of awareness could be combined with our
campus Rally Around Diversity Day. So it is reinforcing
diversity, respect and acceptance for all people, not only
pertaining to Race or Ethnicity but also people with Disabilities.
