There was one time back in the day when people with disabilities were kept isolated from the rest of society such as being put into institutions.\u00a0 In 1969, Niels Bank-Mikkelson and Bengt Nirge formed a sociology and psychology theory in Scandinavia.\u00a0 They theorized that normalization is the acceptance of people with disabilities to have the same opportunities as everyone else.\u00a0 At first the theory was applied to people with mental retardation but today it includes all people with disabilities.<\/p>\n
Advocates have taken the position that the word \u201cnormalization\u201d applies to the environment rather than a specific person or disability.\u00a0 The idea is to focus on including everybody with disabilities rather than what \u201cnormal\u201d means.\u00a0 Everybody\u2019s \u201cnormal\u201d is different since we are all unique individual with unique needs.<\/p>\n
The principle of normalization is that people with disabilities have the right to have their own freedom and to make their own decisions in their life.\u00a0 Everybody, including people with disabilities have the right to equal employment and an education.\u00a0 They also should have the same access to recreational activities along with the right to expand their horizons read my column about a man with Cerebral<\/strong> Palsy http:\/\/www.masslive.com\/neighborhoodsplus\/republican\/index.ssf?\/base\/news-5\/1273562497267320.xml&coll=1<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" There was one time back in the day when people with disabilities were kept isolated from the rest of society such as being put into institutions.\u00a0 In 1969, Niels Bank-Mikkelson and Bengt Nirge formed a sociology and psychology theory in Scandinavia.\u00a0 They theorized that normalization is the acceptance of people with disabilities to have the […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-75","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.blog.carriewrites.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/75","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.blog.carriewrites.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.blog.carriewrites.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.blog.carriewrites.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.blog.carriewrites.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=75"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.blog.carriewrites.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/75\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":76,"href":"https:\/\/www.blog.carriewrites.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/75\/revisions\/76"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.blog.carriewrites.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=75"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.blog.carriewrites.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=75"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.blog.carriewrites.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=75"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
