What is disability?

A disabled person is one who has a condition called a disability that interferes with his or her

ability to perform one or more activities of everyday living. For example, locomotion (indoors and

going outside), getting dressed, communicating with others.

What are the types of disability?

"Disability" can be broken down into a number of broad sub-categories, which can include the

following:

● Physical impairments affecting movement, such as muscular dystrophy, post-polio syndrome,

spina bifida and cerebral palsy.

● Sensory impairments, such as visual or hearing impairments.

● Neurological impairments, such as epilepsy or dysautonomia.

● Cognitive impairments such as Autism or Down Syndrome.

● Psychiatric conditions such as depression and Schizophrenia.

III. Reading

Turn to page 2. We shall take Marty’s story this time.

First we shall listen and read aloud to the recording of the text. Try to read aloud the text as loudly

and correctly as possible.

Then we shall go over the text to read it to: cut/ the sentence into thought groups, blacken the

predicates, darken the connectives and underline all the useful expressions.

IV. Transferring information

Now read the text again to complete the chart below.

Marty’s story

Why are there not many

people in the world like

me? Because: I have a muscle disease that sometimes makes me very

weak and I can’t run or climb stairs as quickly as other people.

I am clumsy and drop things or bump into furniture.

What is my motto? Live one day at a time.

When did I get weak? Up until I was about 10 years old, I was the same as everyone else in

my class.

Then I started to get weaker and weaker.

What was the worst

thing about my life? One of the worst things about my disease is that I don’t look any

different from other people.

Do I have a good life? All in all, I have a good life.

What is my ambition? My ambition is to work in the computer industry when I grow up. I

am the only student in my class to have a pet snake.

What has my disability

made me? In many ways my disability has made me grow stronger and more

independent. What do I think of

having a disability? Just having a disability doesn’t mean your life is not satisfying.
