Here I am referring to people with disabilities/chronic illnesses. Biologically, they might have some limitations but that is not the only thing that makes them disabled. We as a society, fail to recognize their accommodations and needs are what makes them less able. They can be equally competent as anyone only if they are given the right help. For example, when people with certain limitations mess up at their workplace, they are fired. Instead of understanding them and trying to help them through the new process, we set them up for failure by not helping them succeed. This process continues and they’re never given a stable workplace where their coworkers understand their needs. They need the means to survive. Someone has to step up and be that person forging their little mistakes and training them to do better instead of giving up on them.
They are also not given the same opportunities as other people in higher education. For example, an individual with down syndrome or autism would have special teachers/caretakers at school taking care of them, guiding them through everything. But as you enter higher education, you don’t see any of that. Do we give up on them as a society? Do we think they are not able to learn? Our mindset might be setting them up for failure. If we give everyone the same opportunities and put in the effort to accommodate them as well as teach others to be mindful of their certain needs, then we can make this world a better place. We are lacking the motivation to understand from their perspective. It is not fair for them to be given up that easily when the rest of us are told to keep trying and never give up. They aren’t even given a chance.
I agree with you, there is not much accommodation and support for someone who is disabled. They can be equally competent as anyone, only if they are given the right help. They have the potential to do anything if they are given support. It’s difficult for someone who is disabled to get the help they need to be successful. They often don’t have the same opportunities as everyone else. This can be very frustrating for them. They may feel like they can’t do anything. Disabilities should not be seen as a hindrance to success. With the proper accommodations and support, people with disabilities can be just as successful as anyone else. They simply need the opportunity to demonstrate their abilities. Given the right circumstances, people with disabilities have the potential to achieve anything.
