My first thought upon learning about the many disabilities people have is how they have coped with functioning in our society. Fortunately, I (as well as many people) have been exposed to quite a few of these disabilities such as PTSD, Autism, Dsylexsia, ADHD LD and others. This is important because knowledge is necessary in understanding that these conditions are not the persons fault, they are not lazy or undisciplined, that they deserve our empathy and help in order to assist them in obtaining the same opportunity for an education as students without their condition. Those are just the first steps.
