Discuss the impact of contemporary attitudes of professionals toward families with a child with a disability.

What will be an ideal response?


Ans: Families need to be encouraged to dream about what they want for themselves and their son or daughter with a disability, and they need assistance in making those dreams come true. These future plans should lead to expectations that all members of the family are entitled to full citizenship. Vision replaces despair. Families can benefit from one another. Families need the child with disabilities to have friends and integrated recreational opportunities in order to respond to the child’s needs for socialization, affection, and identity. Families need information about and inspiration from people with a disability who are successfully integrated into community life. Families need encouragement and ways to ensure that the child has a functional education taught in natural environments. Many families need new policies to provide direct subsidies and new tax credits to help meet the financial domains associated with disability in the home and family setting.
