A disability is a condition which prevents the daily life activities of a person. It is a physical or mental disorder which hinders one’s motion, sensation or other tasks.
According to World Health Organization a “Disability” refers to all the disorders, which restraint one’s involvement in mental or physical activity. It might be any situation that prevents a person from performing.
So disability is a complicated subject that encompasses a person’s relation to the environment. For the disabled people to act as mainstream members of the society, it is important to make adjustments. In America, there are about 15% of the students who suffer from a developmental disability with Autism and ADHD inclusive (Federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention).
Facilitating the disabled students can affect the results as a study carried out by Won Kim shows. The research looks for the influence of facilities on the performance of the students by taking 1,248 students at the Pennsylvania State University and found that the facilitation, mainly enhancing time and varying of study material or assignment adjustments, has an impact on GPA (kind of disability and elements of demography are controlled) ADDIN ZOTERO_ITEM CSL_CITATION {"citationID":"NmnQeikK","properties":{"formattedCitation":"(Kim & Lee, 2016)","plainCitation":"(Kim & Lee, 2016)","noteIndex":0},"citationItems":[{"id":10,"uris":["http://zotero.org/users/local/orkqtrjP/items/N2XE3GQZ"],"uri":["http://zotero.org/users/local/orkqtrjP/items/N2XE3GQZ"],"itemData":{"id":10,"type":"article-journal","title":"The effect of accommodation on academic performance of college students with disabilities","container-title":"Rehabilitation Counseling Bulletin","page":"40-50","volume":"60","issue":"1","author":[{"family":"Kim","given":"Won Ho"},{"family":"Lee","given":"Juyoung"}],"issued":{"date-parts":[["2016"]]}}}],"schema":"https://github.com/citation-style-language/schema/raw/master/csl-citation.json"} (Kim & Lee, 2016).
Another study revealed disabled children show traits which are hindrances in higher education. Inclusion and facilitating the disabled students are related to their promotion from their first to second year in school ADDIN ZOTERO_ITEM CSL_CITATION {"citationID":"FdNafjaZ","properties":{"formattedCitation":"(Mamiseishvili & Koch, 2011)","plainCitation":"(Mamiseishvili & Koch, 2011)","noteIndex":0},"citationItems":[{"id":2,"uris":["http://zotero.org/users/local/orkqtrjP/items/AD28T6F8"],"uri":["http://zotero.org/users/local/orkqtrjP/items/AD28T6F8"],"itemData":{"id":2,"type":"article-journal","title":"First-to-second-year persistence of students with disabilities in postsecondary institutions in the United States","container-title":"Rehabilitation Counseling Bulletin","page":"93-105","volume":"54","issue":"2","author":[{"family":"Mamiseishvili","given":"Ketevan"},{"family":"Koch","given":"Lynn C."}],"issued":{"date-parts":[["2011"]]}}}],"schema":"https://github.com/citation-style-language/schema/raw/master/csl-citation.json"} (Mamiseishvili & Koch, 2011).
So in the light of these studies it is evident that special children need special arrangements to perform in par with their non-disabled peers. So, adjustments should be made for them and afterwards they should be expected to perform to the bar. If there is an enabling environment, they can excel. Without the required adjustments, the education system should not expect them to perform as good as the normal students.
