This has a nice sentiment, but considering that the “cure” for people with disabilities was in fact lobotomies for a number of years, I’d prefer the current medical diagnosis. The last US lobotomy was in 1967 and some of the previous surgeries were just to make a troublesome child behave. I don’t think it’s fair to expect anyone’s brain to work a certain way, often the person who has a disability only needs flexibility when it comes to learning. Because American schools teach “by the book” for standardized tests, the expectations and learning style are rigid when they should be flexible. Whether diagnosed or not it should be the teacher’s responsibility to “figure out how a child learns” not to “teach a child.” The child learns, the teacher simply facilitates this process. But when you teach children for tests, you search for reasons why they don’t perform well, when really it’s the tests that fail not the child.
