RESPONSE
Disability Rights Movement: Response to April
From the onset, it would be prudent to note that indeed, there are a wide range of challenges that healthcare professionals encounter in the course of engaging persons presenting with various disabilities. Some of these challenges have been referenced by April in hew write-up. One of the most crucial challenges that my colleague highlights has got to do with the establishment or determination of not only the values, but also the beliefs of an individual whose decision-making capacity happens to be limited. A person-centered program comes in handy in such a scenario. In basic terms, as McCormack and McCance (2016) point out, patient-centered care could be perceived as the move or undertaking to treat a person receiving healthcare with dignity and respect and involving them in all decisions about their health (211). The authors further indicate that when working with people presenting with various disabilities, patient-centered care could involve the inclusion of care givers as well as family members in decision-making. This is especially instrumental in seeking to ensure that the various preferences as well as needs of the patient have been captured in the design and implementation of various interventions. Indeed, as my colleague indicates, the relevant measures must also ways be taken to ensure that the interests being advanced at any given time are first and foremost those of the client. In the final analysis, it should be noted that the relevance of coming up with treatment plans that take into consideration each participants right to self-determination as well as individuality cannot be overstated. This has been clearly elucidated by my colleague in her write-up. Indeed, as my colleague indicates, this is instrumental in efforts to uphold the healthcare professionals commitment to do no harm. There would be need to further indicate that upholding each participants right to self-determination as well as individuality is an ideal approach towards the further enhancement of treatment outcomes.

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
