The attitudes that Daniel refers to comes from a level of unawareness and being uneducated about the topic of persons who have disabilities. Some people are very superstitious and may believe in myths which corrupts their belief system which may result in discrimination.

In my experience, sadly I have seen cases where persons were discriminated against because of their disabilities educators have been ignorant to understanding what was happening before their eyes. This was a challenge within the school environment other educators assisted in caring for the child, lending emotional support to the child’s parent ensuring that the child was being well taken cared of. The administration conducted workshops to educate teachers who were not knowledgeable about children with disabilities and to remove the pitiful and outcast mentality of teachers.

As a teacher, you should have an open mind, provide your students with a friendly atmosphere in order to achieve positivity within the environment. Teacher’s attitude plays a tremendous role in children’s growth and development. Therefore, teachers should set the tone in a classroom to create a warm and welcoming culture so that children feel comfortable and are focused driven to develop and make progression rather than regression.
