Question 1 1.1
Dudley-Marling and Gurn (2010:4) in their book ‘The Myth of the Normal
Curve’, contend that ‘to be considered outside the boundaries of normal has
consequences’.
1.1.1 According to the medical model of disability, which learners in ordinary
schools are regarded as ‘outside the boundaries of normal’ and how
does this model justify the view that it holds of such learners?
According to the medical model of disability, learners who are regarded as 'outside
the boundaries of normal' are those who have physical, sensory, intellectual or
emotional impairments that are seen as deviations from the typical or 'normal'
functioning of the human body and mind. These learners are often diagnosed and
labeled based on their disabilities and are viewed as needing special education
services that are different from those offered to their non-disabled peers. The
medical model of disability justifies the view that it holds of such learners by
portraying them as deficient or impaired individuals who require medical or
therapeutic interventions to overcome their limitations and become more 'normal'
or 'functional'.
1.1.2 Discuss the consequences of being regarded as ‘outside the boundaries
of normal’ referred to in
The consequences of being regarded as 'outside the boundaries of normal' are many
and varied. In ordinary schools, learners with disabilities may face social stigma,
discrimination, and bullying from their peers, as well as low expectations,
exclusion from extracurricular activities, and lack of access to appropriate
educational resources and accommodations. They may also experience negative
attitudes and biases from their teachers, who may view them as problematic,
burdensome or incapable of learning. In full-service schools, these learners may
face additional challenges related to the lack of appropriate support and
accommodations, such as inaccessible physical environments, inadequate teaching
and learning resources, and a lack of teacher training and awareness on disability
issues. All these factors can lead to lower academic achievement, reduced self-
esteem, social isolation, and limited opportunities for personal and social
development.
