Based on your cultural background, how do you believe you were raised to perceive disabilities? by Yuliya Pisman https://padlet.com/pisman/pcvl6nhxeae7 en-us 2017-10-28 21:01:53 UTC 2017-11-01 21:10:40 UTC hello@padlet.com pipershaw523 https://padlet.com/pisman/pcvl6nhxeae7/wish/202715717 I always had gradeschool classes with people with disabilities growing up and my mom always stressed how important it was to be kind to them even when I didn't understand why. In my family we see disability not as something to be cured but something that makes you unique and special. I've always been raised to respect disabilities and treat those people with the utmost respect.

I grew up with a good understanding and knowledge of autism so I think this helped the way that I perceived people on the spectrum. My mom made sure that I never viewed ASD as a negative but rather as something that made people different.

Disability is part of the individual, which is important to recognize. Additionally, supporting individuals is critical.

There wasn't a lot of disability in my family, or in my immediate microsystem, but my parents tended make a point in saying that we don't judge others with disabilities, we do what we can to help them if they need it. ]]> 2017-11-01 21:06:09 UTC https://padlet.com/pisman/pcvl6nhxeae7/wish/202715766 https://padlet.com/pisman/pcvl6nhxeae7/wish/202715778 Since I am hispanic, I was always told to deal with it or suck it up. My family does not necessarily believe in things such as anxiety or depression since they believe that their past was much harder--and that I am blessed to be in the situation I am today. I totally am blessed, but things such as mental disorders and autism are not really discussed thoroughly. Older members in my family are also very religious, and believe that god or jesus will always help you. I completely respect that, but sometimes it is nice to see conditions without the presence of another entity or power. ]]> 2017-11-01 21:06:12 UTC https://padlet.com/pisman/pcvl6nhxeae7/wish/202715778 https://padlet.com/pisman/pcvl6nhxeae7/wish/202715803 I was raised to see people with disabilities as needing help and support, and didn't understand until I was older that not everyone with a disability wants or needs help, but instead to ask first and try to understand their life experience. ]]> 2017-11-01 21:06:19 UTC https://padlet.com/pisman/pcvl6nhxeae7/wish/202715803 https://padlet.com/pisman/pcvl6nhxeae7/wish/202715804 My cultural background and parents raised me to see disability as something that makes you weaker and something that inhibits you. Or something that could be and should be fixed as much as possible.

I've never been raised to view them as a negative thing, and have always been very interested in learning more about many of them ]]> 2017-11-01 21:06:23 UTC https://padlet.com/pisman/pcvl6nhxeae7/wish/202715828 https://padlet.com/pisman/pcvl6nhxeae7/wish/202715927 As a challenge that some people have that is either positive or negative. It may mean that they need more services than others do.

If someone had a disability, it was kept more of a secret rather than sharing with family. We were not necessarily raised to view disability as something bad; i was raised to see it as something a person has and might need additional sources ]]> 2017-11-01 21:07:28 UTC https://padlet.com/pisman/pcvl6nhxeae7/wish/202716078 https://padlet.com/pisman/pcvl6nhxeae7/wish/202716339 My parents would see psychological disorders as something someone can get through without any professional help such as therapy. They thought that someone with a disorder would just get better over time, and they don't actually have the disorder until they seek professional help and get a diagnosis. I definitely disagreed with my parents.
