Today in United States, one out of every five adults has a disability, according to a new study published by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. It includes visible disability, autism, deafness, learning disabilities and so on. Unfortunately, when people see them, they are so afraid of what are they are handling or surviving. In TEDx Cambridge “Blindness is just another way of seeing” we watched a video and author clearly mentioned that how can we afraid of something that we never struggle with. When people see disability some of them think that they are special some of them think that they need special care. Here in United States, maybe the amount of disability, people are getting used to see them and act a “regular” person. In my opinion, they need special education and special care in any way and children in public school has to start to learn these syndromes in early age.

People have no disabilities unfortunately does not know how to act when they see disabled person. Either they are willing to help or do nothing about them. When they see blind person on the road they do not even ask if they need a help or not. They are just keep doing whatever they are doing. In my opinion, it should not be like this. At least we have to ask them if they need a hand to do something. It happens because of the U.S culture opinion. Since people are self oriented, they are focus on their life not others. When we see someone helping disabled person, people think that “how thoughtful” that she or he is doing. Helping someone it should not be a topic that we can discuss. It should be natural.

Here in U.S 53.9 million school- aged children (5-17) have disabilities and only 2.8 million were reported to have disability in 2010. For many of these children, the kinds of disabilities they experience may require special approaches to providing education or other accommodations. In my opinion, people who is going to special needs school, they should keep doing it. On the other hand people who are “regular” start to learn and know these people at elementary age. In this article (i will give the name) sarah who is five years old death kid, was playing game with her neighbour’s daughter. Since Sarah’s family have death disability, she did not know the difference between disabled and non-disabled. When they were playing game, she realized that her friend “heard” bell, and went to open the door. At first she could not realize, how and why she did that. After speaking with her parents, with sign language she understood that she is deaf and she is not one of her friends. She has deaf disability. If she could know at first, maybe it would be better to know herself rather than learning as a coincident.

In my opinion and experience with disability children, they need to go to special education school. If they are deaf they should learn sign language and lip reading. One of my friend who is totally deaf in Turkey, she graduated from College but after she learned lip reading. If she did not know anything about lip reading, she would not communicate with professor and her friends. She would not be able to graduate not only from college but also from high school. Today, people are much more interested or frightened what it can happen to their children. Therefore, they start to teach them sign language at early ages. In public schools, in addition to science, english, history classes, or any other foreign language government have to put new law to teach sign language. It should be main course that everyone has to learn. In Kim’s story “ A mother’s perspective raising a deaf child” she is explaining and being proud that she raised a deaf child. At first, as you can imagine she would not know what to do, but after they support their child and they know sign language, sign language a communication in their home. Her daughter was coming home and learned different signs and made it easy. Her friends also supported her and they learned sign language, therefore she was not missing anything about what is going on in their life. Even though she was going to “regular” school with non-disabled children, she was still taking sign language courses so does her friends. Her friends took sign language courses just because to have a communication to their friends. They were not obliged to. Nowadays, as we know, everyone is so busy their life, nobody wants to learn language just because it is a another way of communication. Therefore sign language class should be obliged to everyone from elementary school.

In U.S, since culture based on materialist, people are not willing to do volunteer work. If they are doing volunteer work just because they need for class, or they are in retirement age. For visible handled people, some of libraries record books to USB, or CD’s. After person completed reading and recording the book, they ship them their candidates. Even though it’s a beautiful, and helpful thing, it should not be only for volunteers. It should be job opportunity to people who is actually looking for a job. People especially who are in mid 20’s they are not looking for a volunteer job, if they do not need to. If they know that they will get paid, after recording the book, the percentage of the people who is recording the books would increase.

As a conclusion, nobody knows what is going to happen even for tomorrow. You can wake up one day and see you are completely blind or deaf. Therefore, in the meantime, since you have the ability to educate yourself and your family, you have to get in action not only for you but also the people who is disabled.
