What To Capture In Disability Strengthening Videos

By Matthew Meyer


Incapability in human beings do not define total failure or room for mistreatment. Any form of impairment should not be treated as a curse nor considered a result of bad omen. The technicalities involved in assisting those with difficulties should be well preached for everyone to understand. For general scope, the following are things to teach in disability strengthening videos.

First and foremost, the nature of the language used to communicate with these people. The tone should be welcoming and aiming at uplifting their self-esteem. Never at one point address them by the nature of their dormancy in some activities. That is ignorance and a sign of total disrespect for the concerned and requires urgent addressing and scolding. Positive dialect must be stressed in the lessons.

There is a need to campaign for the respect of assistance devices of the concerned such as the clutches, wheel chairs, and communication boards. You have to insist that disrespect for the devices such as playing with them, moving them around and using against their will is bad. It could be hurting them and at the same time making them angry creating unnecessary emotional disturbances.

Never miss talking about patience in dealing with them. This may be evident in what one expects them to be able to perform. Some degree of tolerance must be extended to them to give them enough time to complete particular things. A lesson on how to be understanding by allowing considerable time they may need to do things. Not rushing them around and expecting an almost quick response.

Another thing to capture will be the need to develop an understanding of the abilities of these people. They could have developed new mechanisms for doing various things for themselves and therefore have to be allowed to do them on their own. It is until they ask for help or it is necessary to intervene. The whole thing must be done politely and with the due respect.

Alternatively, teach that there must be no room for general assumptions on the type of disabilities one could be having. Some things could be hidden and not visible like learning differences, balance difficulties, and mental disorders. Instead, efforts to learn their individual needs, preferences, and abilities have to be applied. Making judgments may end up leading to mistreatment and violations of their rights.

An important lesson that will boost interactions will be to sensitize on the need to seek clarifications when you are not sure of what the person wants or is up to. Some of these people may be misunderstood and treated in the wrong manner. In the case of any doubt, it is better to ask them what they want. It will be more comfortable for them saying than you deciding for them.

Strong emphasis will be on their rights and wishes. These people have their rights which should be upheld in all sectors touched, and any special treatment defined for them at particular places and situations must be well covered in your tutorials. Comprehensive cover of rights and freedoms will serve better.
