How did these adolescents learn? • Adaptive compensation • Desire to learn • Faith and interest of teachers/families • Love and support • Socio-economically advantaged • Positive and negative reinforcement
What can WE learn from them? • Never judge or write-off • If you don’t feel you can be a positive influence – try at least to not be a negative influence • Model acceptance and faith
Disability is defined in Australian legislation as ‘a disorder or malfunction that results in the person learning differently from a person without the disorder or malfunction’ (Disability Discrimination Act, 1992) • Under the Disability Discrimination Act (1992), it is unlawful for an educational authority or educational provider to discriminate against a student on the ground of the student’s disability. This includes • denying or limiting the student’s access to any benefit provided by the educational authority • by developing curricula or training courses having a content that will either exclude the person from participation, or subject the person to any other detriment Legislation
