settings in which children without disabilities participate; the day-to-day settings, routines and

"People-First" themes
Guiding principles: - answer✔Refer to the person first, not the disability
• Avoid portraying people with special needs as "heroic," "superhuman," "an inspiration to us
all" or other extraordinary terms.
• Avoid using terms rooted in concepts of dependency and helplessness
Common Attitudes - answer✔Children with special needs must see themselves reflected in the
world around them - in books, in pictures, in role models, even in those who provide care.
• It is easy to internalize society's stereotypes about persons with disabilities.
• Invisibility - keeping people with special needs out of sight; artificially "not noticing" or "not
talking" about special needs.
• Infantilizing - treating a person with special needs as incapable of basic life skills and
completely dependent.
• Objectifying - seeing only a person's disability rather than seeing a whole person who happens
to have special needs.
ADA Facts - answer✔ADA went into effect in 1990.
• ADA prohibits discrimination based upon mental or physical disabilities.
• Requires commercial facilities and places of public accommodation to comply with specific
accessibility guidelines.
