In addition, Health Disabilities call for medical treatment(s) or resources one uses, usually on a daily basis, to encourage and aid in mobility and function. These can be severe or not, hidden or obviously visible...

A Few Examples:

1. Diabetes arm monitor- Helps track blood sugar levels.

2. Feeding Tube- A means of eating and drinking for those who cannot by mouth.

3. Walker- Means of support of transportation by foot.

4. Colostomy Bag- Bags that attaches to the body that collect your poop/waste. Have to be changed throughout the day at least 3 times. (A colostomy surgery creates an opening between your abdominal wall and colon, so that body waste can exit into the bag instead of out of the anus)

5. Disability Helmet- A means of cranium protection for those who are in some way prone to the possibility of brain injury.

6. Wheelchair- Means of support of transportation not by foot.

Movement: Struggles with mobility such as walking, using their limbs/fingers "normally"

Senses: Loss of sight, hearing, or touch, seems to be in sense of discomfort that may indicate overstimulation.

Communication: Struggles to speak at all or with some difficulties such as stuttering, fast or slow paced speaking, may not be able to interpret social cues or body language of others, & language interpretation difficulties.

-------------------------------------------------------

NEUROMOTOR IMPAIRMENTS- Having to do with damage to the brain, spinal cord, and nerves. May result in struggles in limb movement, inability to control one's bladder, and causes a physical shift of the spine (maybe in close relation to scoliosis too)

EXAMPLES:

- Cerebral Palsy- Lack of muscle control that may cause movement to be very limited or seem very exaggerated, shortening o muscles, limited mouth movement such as chewing or talking

- Spina Bifida- Damaged spinal cord due to development error within the womb, an unclosed tube stops the spinal cord from developing properly and causes permanent dysfunction.

TRAUMATIC BRAIN INJURY- Gained from traumatic incidents such as car accidents, sports injuries, boxing injuries, shootings, etc. A few characteristics include: Bleeding and Swelling within the brain, Damaged Nerve Cells, Headache, fatigue, memory loss, etc.

Here I'll use TWO examples we may not have touched base on:

Seizures, we haven't talked much about them yet, but they're a type of health disability! There are all different kinds of seizure disorders one may have or develop in their lifetime. A few characteristics may be:

- Involuntary movement that may occur during a specific event that is the trigger for a seizure.

- Loss of consciousness, goes into a blank stare/daze

- Jerking Movement

Asthma, Fine breathing until triggered by something. An asthma attack makes it hard for oxygen to flow properly through the lungs when triggered (Triggers include exercise, talking, singing, rapping, screaming, for prolonged period, or even environment conditions we can' see).

- Characteristics may include: wheezing, coughing, and gasping.

Deaf-Blindness is what we will be looking at.

Deaf-Blindness is a combination of hearing and vision loss that affects students abilities to learn and navigate the real world "normally", Though, this doesn't have a direct effect on ones intellectual capabilities, talents, and skills.

Characteristics:

- Children may struggle with things like sleep habits, since they cannot tell the difference between day and night.

- Sensory overload, avoidance of uncomfortable areas and feelings, textures, surfaces, etc.

- As a baby, the child may avoid walking or crawling towards what they cannot see or hear.

- Finding other ways to communicate that include touch and speech.

- Academic struggle because of not being able to see or hear as well as their peers.

- Limited communication due to not being able to see or hear others, they miss components of interaction such as facial expressions, body language, or comprehension and listening

GENETICS- Physical and Health Disabilities are most commonly passed down through DNA. (According to SPEDICS (Ch.14, pg. 453) There has to be genetic mutation present in each chromosome from each parent)

EXAMPLES: Dwarfism, Intellectual Disability, & Deaf-Blindness.

ENVIRONMENTAL- During pregnancy, things like substance abuse, poverty living conditions, infections, chemical exposure, and more outside factors can lead to development of physical or help disabilities within the fetus.

MEDICAL- Premature babies who are born underweight re at high risk of developing any disabilities amongst the three.

EXAMPLES: Cerebral Palsy, Deaf-Blindness, Vision Loss, Hearing Loss, Epilepsy, etc.

AQUIRED- All three types of disabilities can derive from experiences one experiences. For example, Physical (Child) Abuse, tragic falls/hits (that may also lead to brain injury) can cause disabilities to develop.

First Off, IEP'S (Individualized Education Program) are so essential for students with any disabilities to prosper with the proper tools, accommodations, resources, and services within the education environment.

I genuinely believe the only challenges I would face as a teacher, would be if I didn't give my all into my students. Disabilities aren't a burden and I shouldn't see them as such. By now we know there's more than one way to exist in this world. And while I gave a whole bunch of resources for ways to guide children through the present and future, those are all the same things I will fight for to have in whatever school building I work in, not just for my own students, for for all the normal and exceptional kids throughout the building.

Of course I'll face adversities and challenges. But they will only conquer me, if I let my students be conquered by fear, doubt, struggle, or neglect by anyone at all.

I have to do my best to be the most influential teacher and teach my students and even adults who may be ignorant and who do not live with disabilities, that it is still important to be associated and open minded to experiencing, learning from, and learning to take care of their peers who differ from from.

I will fight to have more braille around my classroom, braille printed texts, labels, etc. Tables or desks that my students that may be in wheelchairs can comfortably sit at and learn from, and a classroom those with walkers, canes, and wheelchairs can efficiently navigate in.

I will fight for safer lighting conditions in my classroom, I'll have snacks in my classroom for my students who have low blood pressure, I will have utilize my projectors to enlarge small prints texts, I will speak loudly and clearly at all times, make thoughtful seating arrangements, etc.

I'll make sure their school devices have communication apps so that there wouldn't be anyone who isn't able to communicate with me, and so much more!

I WILL DO IT ALL FOR MINE. Even if I have to invest my own money.

2. Elevators that are also spacious

3. Lifts on School and Metro Busses

4. Electric and regular wheelchairs

5. Braille throughout buildings and within the home

6. Accessible lighting in needed rooms

7. Pantries that may consist of needed good as related to health disabilities like diabetes

8. Crutches and Braces for mobility
