Types Of Disabilities and how people with disabilites deal with it?

Since you have gotten a view of what special needs are from my last post by reading a paper I wrote on this very subject. You have a basic understanding of what a disability is and what a special needs people are. As a refresher a disability is a physical or mental condition that limits a persons movements sense or activities. Again, for me I am hard of hearing. I have trouble on some level. To help with that I wear hearing aids to help with amplifying the sound so I can people better.
Today is going to be the many categories that deal with what  disabilities are and what stages of a response to a disability. Then going to understand the acceptance of a disability of a scale. Sometimes this is commonly used. People with disabilities as an acronym which is PWD is how it is used. 
Categories of a Disability 

  1. Physical Disability 
  2. Intellectual/Development 
  3. Cognitive 
  4. psychiatric   

Acceptance of a disability scale 
- Developed in 1971 as a way to determine the characteristics of what makes a person with a disability accepting of his/her disability.

  1. Focus on certain individual values 
  2. DE-emphasis on Physique 
  3. containment of disability 
  4. Stop comparing self to others' assets. 
Stages of response to a disability 

  1. shock
  2. denial 
  3. depression 
  4. anger
  5. acceptance. 
At the end just let the person with special needs just be themselves and just be their for them. It is okay to not understand at first. Being their sometimes just means  the world to them. 

P.S I am going to write about what person first language and what disability culture is. That will be introduction to something. My very dear friend is going to write about what disability culture is like where he lives in New York. That will be the week after when I give my introduction to the ideas he is going to write about.
