DISABILITY RIGHTS MOVEMENT
Disability Rights Movement
From the onset, it would be prudent to note that working with individuals presenting with various disabilities would require that certain ethical, legal, and moral issues be taken into consideration. This is especially the case in efforts to ensure that the various concerns that arise in the course of the said interactions are adequately addressed. Further, highlighting concerns of this nature could be considered an ideal move in efforts to empower persons with disabilities. For instance, one of the moral issues that may create challenges when working with individuals with disabilities would be on the issue of trust. According to Raspa et al. (2020), working with individuals with disabilities necessitates that the service providers be honest and open so as to create and sustain trust. This is more so the case given that the trust that such persons have had with other persons could have been betrayed at some point.
Next, respect of privacy when dealing with such individuals is also a crucial issue on this front. The right to confidentiality and privacy with regard to certain aspects of personal info or data is of great relevance. Thus, key data or info must not be availed to third parties in the absence of express authorization from individuals with disabilities. However, this right is not absolute. This is more so the case when the need to secure the wellbeing of the person with disability arises (Raspa et al., 2020).
Another challenge that could arise when working with individuals living with disabilities is autonomy. This has been describes by Raspa et al. (2020) as the right to self-determination. One concern on this front could be the course of action to be embraced if a person with a disability refuses suggested interventions that would likely improve their health and wellbeing.

Disability and Society in Scotland, UK Analysis of theoretical Perspectives on Disability in Scotland Corbett (1991) is of the opinion that the idea of 'normality' that is present in the British culture has a contradiction.

This is particularly true for students with learning disabilities. Secondary students' reading performance reaches a plateau during their high school years, and it is clear that the performance gap between their abilities and what they are expected to do widens (Mock, 2003). Adolescents who lack basic literacy skills need intensive, focused, sustained instruction to help them catch up with their peers. Conclusion Reading disabilities are life long; however, the effects may
Governments must also make sure that people who are dependent because of a severe disability have the same opportunity to achieve a standard of living that is equal to that of the rest of the people. Non-governmental organizations often assist Governments by devising needs, suggesting solutions and providing services balancing to those provided by Governments.

Disability The story "The Village Watchman" by Terry Tempest Williams and the film "What's Eating Gilbert Grape" both depict families which include someone with developmental disability. In Williams' autobiographical story, it is the author's uncle, Alan, who is described as "special" because his "brain was denied oxygen" during a "breech" birth. In Lasse Hallstrom's film, it is Gilbert Grape's brother Arnie, played by Leonardo di Caprio, whose developmental disability is never
