INTRODUCTION

As a Senior High School student, it means being almost at the peak of being in the basic education system
that requires acceptance of what is really happening inside his/her society. Being in this stage you will
encounter a lot of people with different behaviours, talents, skills, and needs. As student, you tend to
encounter people with different needs and disabilities that needs to be addressed. Through this module, you

interactions.
In this lesson, the importance of accepting other’s thoughts, ideas and physical appearance is another
manifestation of accepting others. One essential part of your being is to relate and understand others,

helping or understanding them. Under this core subject, you will recognize the talents and contribution of
persons with disabilities from the unprivileged sector of the society.

DEEPENING
Who are the people with disability in the unprivileged sector of the society?

It is a group of people who experiences hardship and discrimination in the society because they have
been deemed different in terms of physical, sensory, cognitive and intellectual impairment, mental illness,
and various types of chronic diseases. They feel isolated from the other groups of the society and have less
in terms of material possessions and experiences and lack of opportunities due to their disability.

The purpose of intersubjectivity in interacting with the differently abled persons

Intersubjectivity refers to the shared awareness and understanding among persons and it equips an
individual with the ability to empathize by enabling a person to place himself or herself in the shoes of
others that leads to a greater understanding and appreciation of others. Another mere purpose of
intersubjectivity in dealing with people with disability is that it constructs an idea that all human persons are
equal and should be recognize.

The Government providing responsible assistance to people who are differently abled:

SELF-RELIANCE OF DISABLED PERSONS AND THEIR INTEGRATION INTO THE

discrimination, and tried to commit suicide but, with time, he
learned to see his own potential. He is currently giving
motivational talks around the world, has written several books
and is a regular on talk shows and TV programs.

 Tenor, musician, writer and musical producer of Italian origin, Andrea
Boccelli has sold more than 75 million records. He was born
with congenital glaucoma that left him partially blind, something that did
not prevent him from taking piano lessons until the age of six. However,
at age 12 he suffered a blow during a football game that left
him completely blind. Endowed with a spirit of innate improvement, he
decided to focus entirely on music, specifically on singing. He also studied
Law.Boccelli has received numerous awards of international prestige and
even has a beach named after him on the Adriatic .

A theoretical physicist, astrophysicist, cosmologist, and eminent scientist, Stephen

Hawking was diagnosed with ALS at age 21: he was given 2 more years to live.
He lived until he was 76-years-old. He had been paralysed from head to toe for
over thirty years and used a voice synthesiser to be able to communicate, and a
wheelchair that he operated through slight movements of the head and eyes.None
of this prevented him from developing his activity as an exemplary researcher
and professor, and intense personal life that allowed him to make his illness
known to the world. https://www.sunrisemedical.co.uk/blog/famous-people-with-disabilities

The protagonist of "Back to the Future" was diagnosed with Parkinson’s in 1991

when he was only 29 years old and his career was in full success. He was told that
he should withdraw from the stage, but he did not cease to be an actor. Although at
first it was not easy to accept his illness (he fell into depression and alcoholism), in
the last decade he has not stopped working and his foundation has already raised
$233 million for Parkinson’s research. After more than 25 years and with the
disease in a very advanced stage, Michael J. Fox continues to maintain his spirit of
improvement. https://www.sunrisemedical.co.uk/blog/famous-people-with-disabilities
