    CULTURAL INFLUENCES
    - Different views about the causes/reasons for disabilities
    - Treatment of children with disabilities changes across
    cultures
    - Roles of individuals vary based on culture
    - In some cultures manifestations of certain disabilities can be
    taken as disrespectful due to lack of understanding of
    disorders
    Be educated about the meaning, variances and
    manifestations of disabilities

    Rights and Responsibilities

    Right to Life & Human Decency

    Duties and Responsibilities to one another, families, and

    SERVANT LEADERSHIP
    OBSERVED
    *Listening-

    Taking the time to hear them out and being generally interested

    *Committed to the growth of people-

    Helping them develop and become as independent as possible

    Not making decisions for them.


    SERVANT LEADERSHIP
    OBSERVED
    *Awareness-

    Going further to help make families aware of best practices

    Huge focus on educating the community.

    *Foresight-

    Looking ahead and thinking about the challenges their clients


    will face.
    OUR TAKE AWAY
    I was reminded that communication and intelligence comes in
    many forms.

    Watching how differently all of the client's behaved

    How they have a positive view of themselves, and how important it


    is to empower them

    I learned that intellectually disabled individuals all have their own


    form of communication with others
