Document Summary
Includes harmful stereotypes, misconceptions, and generalizations of people with disabilities. Presumed competence: presuming competence is nothing less than a hippocratic oath for educators -douglas. Biklen: to presume competence is to acknowledge that all individuals have the ability to learn, to communicate, to participate in their own way. It means that we provide opportunities by creating accessible and inclusive spaces: to presume competence is to respect the value of human diversity, not presuming competence is to actively harm. Well so are money, economic status, nationality, religion, race and disability. 2 models of disability: the medical model, identifies an illness and/or disability as a result of a physical condition intrinsic to the person. It defines a disability as something that is wrong with a person"s body or mind and something they are suffering from and need to be cured of. Disability is therefore seen as something that needs to be fixed.
