Stereotypes about people with disabilities

WHAT IS IT?
Steretype -- a person's pre-formed mental assessment of something, which can be reflected in the corresponding stereotypical behavior.
The concept of "stereotype" entered the socio-political Western discourse with the light hand of Walter Lippman, which he applied in describing his original concept of public opinion in 1922.

STEREOTYPE
People with disabilities have a poor quality of life.
People with disabilities have the same needs as those who are not disabled and they are just as committed to high standards of quality of life as other people.
People with disabilities should live in boarding schools or rehabilitation centers under constant supervision.
People with disabilities can live in their own home if there is a system of care and treatment.
Because of the opinion in society, disabled people try not to leave the house, because they are afraid of being judged and slanted looks from others.
People with disabilities should not avoid social life. They have every right to visit cultural places and are not afraid to be in public places.

STEREOTYPE
Many people in modern society are afraid of people with disabilities because of the fear of infection.
Disability is not a disease, much less a contagious one. Disability is a status that is set for a person who has certain limitations.
In modern society, there is an opinion that families where a disabled child was born are unhappy.
Despite the difficulties in caring for such a baby, parents love it with all their heart, experiencing only happiness and joy.

WE NEED TO TREAT PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES WITH UNDERSTANDING, BECAUSE SOCIAL STEREOTYPES HURT THEIR SOUL.
