Essay from the year 2018 in the subject Pedagogy - Nursery Pedagogy, Early Childhood Education, grade: 69%, Newman University, language: English, abstract: Disability is viewed as a form of a social issue for families with disabled or impaired children and is referred to restrictions resulting from social experiences, which requires attention and needs to be addressed via removing the barriers that children and families experience (Curran and Cole, 2014: Burke, 2008). Since the focus of this essay is structured around the title ¿If I could change one thing¿I would change the fact that my child and my family have to fight for every single service we need¿ (NCB, 2007) shows no signs of an inclusive society. So, this essay will demonstrate a knowledge and understanding of the common issues children with disabilities and families experience. A significant knowledge of the historical context of disability and the models surrounding disability, where segregation was obvious, and the knowledge of the legislation and policies for families with disabled children, will be demonstrated first. It will also evaluate some issues highlighted when supporting parents and families of children with disabilities and SEN. Some significance is placed around the importance of multi-agencies and partnership with parents and professionals from other agencies when offering provision for families with disabled children to show whether the society has moved from integration to inclusion.
