Q1) Compare and contrast the disabilities rights movement with the civil rights movement and the women's rights movements.
Answer: As with the civil and women's rights movements,the disability rights movement is a reaction to society's discrimination and prejudice.The problem is with the society that needs to be fixed (made ready to meet the diverse needs of all people).It is gaining momentum as a political and social movement.However,the political climate in the United States and Canada have not been as conducive to fostering this movement.Furthermore,disability activists have not been as successful at addressing the movement's general goals and have had a difficult time dealing with the heterogeneity of the population of people with exceptionalities.The variety of needs of people with various exceptionalities do not lead to the kind of cohesion of more clearly defined groups such as "African Americans" or "women."
Q2) One of the basic arguments for early intervention is that it
A)prevents the development of additional problems or exceptionalities.
B)eliminates the need for special education later in life.
C)removes children from a negative home life
D)reduces the demands placed on other social service agencies.
