Discrimination against People with Intellectual Disabilities

Over the years, there has been extreme discrimination against intellectually disabled people.

Intellectually handicapped people hear very mean words from people who think they are superior

to them. Some of the challenges that these people face are discrimination when getting

employed, getting a quality education and many other challenges. Many organizations have

come up with to try and fight against this type of discrimination. However, the question that

lingers is whether enough has been done to fight against discrimination.

Statistics show that there is a great level of bullying in the world today. This is done against

all people. However, there is a higher level of discrimination against people with disability. This

occurs mainly in people with developmental disability (Inclusion Europe). For instance, in a

school setting, a person with a developmental disability may find their lunch stolen. Numbers

show that people living with intellectual disability are at 1.7 times more risk to experience

violence than people without this disability. Additionally, a third of all employers state that they

cannot employ people living with an intellectual disability because they have an assumption that

these people are unproductive. These statistics show the extreme need for care and support for

people living with a disability (Chin 21). Various institutions have come up to educate people on

the need for care and support for people living with a disability. However, there is much more

that needs to be done especially in poor communities. Governments also ought to come out and

support people living with disabilities by providing social amenities such as special education.
