Struggle of Disabled Person during Education
God has made different people with different fitness and created their body differently to
show the power of the creativity. There are people who live in his world with less strength and
physical activity. These people are generally referred as physically disabled people. It was very
bad for them to survive in the olden days, some of them were homeless too. The things have
changed now and the disabled persons have allotted different facilities by the government all
over the world and there is a great change brought to their rights. Disabled persons have become
more advanced and are still competing to the physically fit person in the present world. Where
ever it might be, for example, education, sports, dance, and many other cultural events they are
being further these days. They have given special benefits when it comes to street parking, and
they have a facility to avoid a que in a bank or different offices. All these facilities and
development are made for the disabled people in a way it is quite motivation for them to live in
this running world. Education has become the basic need for every person and these disabled
people have made themselves more involved to education that they sacrifice their savings and
struggle for education. By comparing the income of a student who is physically fit and income of
disabled student, there is a huge difference, therefore the disabled student is to be given proper
education that would lead him to last in the vast competition in todays world.

Most of the students spend almost 300 dollars every month on travelling, this is taken as
an average value. If a person is physically fit, this amount might be a very less value for him/her
because he/she has options of doing a part time job and earning good income every month. When
it comes to physically disabled person, he/she has no option other than educating himself/herself.
A physically fit person can work up to ten hours a day whatever the work might be. But a
physically disabled person doesnt have that strength to work hard and earn money. It is the
money and time that is being spent by him that would eventually lead up to the person becoming
more stable. The cost of travelling definitely is a key factor in enabling him to attain stability
financially. Money has created differences between the people and in the present world there is
nothing better without money. Disabled people are more hardworking than a physically fit
person. They cannot move from one place to another without taking help, often disabled people
are more hardworking and more focused as when they are given an opportunity, they would
incline towards finishing the task wholeheartedly. From the article taken from Sage Journal, the
quote We cannot morally justify advocacy for students with disabilities based on anything other
than common knowledgepublic truths. From this perspective, we scrutinize how the ideas
embodied in the constructionist model are (or are not) justified. (Anastasiou & Kauffman) The
author describes about the strength and the self-esteeming power of the disabled person. The
knowledge cannot be treated as useless for them. They have their own power to build themselves
and make themselves more powerful and focused on the education.

Many colleges have made online education for the disabled persons who can try to learn
the concept by educating themselves through online classes. Most of the exams and home works
are being made online so to make the student more feasible in submitting the homework and

Alrashoud 3
taking tests. It has been proved that the disabled persons have made themselves now easy in
earning through knowledge. The disabled person are now involved in teaching, tutoring and
other common administrative jobs. Being more specific in learning things they have made a
different level of world for themselves. There was a time when people who are disabled use to
have nothing to earn and they lived in orphanages and other shelter homes. Still there are people
who are going through these stages of life. Government is trying to help them from poverty and
is providing different facilities for those people who are physically disabled. The facilities like
giving employment and making a reservation for their jobs is helping the disabled persons to
earn money.
Children who are physically disabled are allowed to learn things and training is provided
to them to overcome and face the world with learning certain skills. There are invention of some
schools and colleges which help the deaf, dumb and blind people learn the concept of physical
and mental education. The government provides fuds to these institutions in order to help the
disable students and make them stand on their feet. The main concept of education has been
implemented in all the countries and the respect is being given for the disabled persons.
According to the article posted on social work education for disabled students the quote,
Theories related to social work practice at the cultural level of society generally represent an
attempt to overcome oppression through one of three approaches to an emancipatory politics:
assimilation through a politics of integration; multiculturalism through a politics of cultural
pluralism; and collective resistance through a politics of difference (Dupr), the author in his
statement describes that there is a main approach with which a person can easily perform a social
approach and help the people who are physically disabled. The approach is related to the political
strength. The author is mainly pointing out the government and the involvement of the

Alrashoud 4
government in the present world for helping the disabled persons and making them intelligent
and making them feel proud. The disabled persons have better thinking power and they are very
much keen about their work, they can easily grasp things. These all qualities of a disabled person
tae them to a different level. For example in the present world the blind person can dance hearing
the sound of the music. All this have brought a great change in the history of disabled person and
still there are being some changes to get a better outcome of these qualities.
Education is helping them grow in the present world and they are trying their hard to
come with a positive and developing outcome. Now there is no matter of money as these people
are earning more through their knowledge. From the article related to the training of the
indiviuals with disability, the quote Recognizing the importance of assessing validity, the
Physical Educators' Attitude Toward Individuals with Disabilities I11 continues to go through
rigorous review (Casebolt & Rizzo), describes that the attitude of a physical trainer of disabled
persons changes always while teaching the physically disabled person the activities. Most of the
physical students learn the subject in class and they dont have to revise it after the class, hence
the behavior of the trainer matter a lot in the class room.
Online education would be a good option for a disabled person as they can be
comfortable in learning the concepts wherever they are and they do not need to travel a lot.
Instead they can just sit in the house and make themselves prepare for the exams. Universities
are taking the consideration of their travel expenses and also the difficulty in travelling to the
college. Government is providing certain homes and colleges only for the physically disabled
persons and is giving a credit every month for their utilities.
Although these facilities are provided to the persons who are disabled there are many
challenges they are facing these days. Racial discrimination can be said as one of the challenge

Alrashoud 5
which a physically disabled person is facing and also their own struggle for daily needs is been a
big challenge for those people. The earning of the money is also considered as a big challenge
for the disability person. The change in the education and the special treatment provided to the
disability person have created a better success in the world of disabilities. They are now striking
the sky and they are being involved in several administrative jobs and the employment have been
raised for disabled persons. They can now compete with the real world and show their presence
and make a difference in the society.
