Serbia: Children With Disabilities Neglected
Having children at home, as opposed to an institution, greatly increases their emotional as well as mental state. This article proves that with prominent examples. Therefore, this article is saying how the government should put more money towards their communities, than towards the institutions.

This video really spoke to me. It was amazing to see a little girl with constant smiles in the pictures, even though she had a quadruple amputation done. A company made her a doll with, as well, no limbs. I absolutely love how they used the words ‘normal’, and ‘inclusion’. This is definitely something worth sharing.

Forth Valley Disability Awards 2017
Inclusion, as we know, is key to giving as much independence as possible to people with exceptionalities. Having paralympic sports implemented, was probably one of the greatest choices ever made.

Ontario ends onerous reviews for disabled people on welfare
I chose this article because I feel that people that have life-long exceptionalities that are not able to work, should not have to continuously fill out paperwork every month to receive government funding. This is a huge step towards making people that have exceptionalities live more comfortable.

How Ontario traps those with disabilities in lives of poverty

This article makes a lot of sense when it comes to people with disabilities and trying to comfortably live. As I read further into this article, I noticed that British Columbia and Alberta have already made many changes to enhance the lives of people who receive ODSP, due to living with an exceptionality. Ontario should definitely be looking into setting things up a bit differently than they are already. It looks like the group of people that are bringing it forward have great knowledge, and hopes for the future, in regards to people with disabilities being more comfortably set, financially.

I chose this article because doing my issue presentation on employment and disability, I realized how the different types of barriers like physical, procedural and attitudinal make it difficult to find and then maintain job.  One of the barriers people with learning disabilities face is the assumption employers have of what people with learning disabilities can or can’t do.
I felt it is very important to create awareness among the public about the abilities of people with varying disabilities and to educate employers how they can easily accommodate them.

Paralympic athlete 'forced to wet herself' on Cross Country train without disabled toilet
I was shocked when I read this title. This article is about a retired IT engineer who booked his  trip six week in advance and gave Virgin Trains his contact information. He could not use the toilet for people with a wheel chair on the train because it is out of order. He could not move to another part of the train because the aisles are very narrow to find an alternative accessible toilet.He was stuck and forced to wet himself.

I chose this article because its language has  definitely a negative impact on the people with a mobility impairment. E.g,” Disabled man” instead of using first person language.Also, there are physical barrier . The train company failed to make arrangements for an alternative toilet.

As EAs , we have to educate people about the Person First Language. We should create an awareness among people that a disability doesn't define a person. We should support people with disability and stand up for their rights for free- barriers service
