Lesly del Puerto Coto__My reflection of visual and hearing impairment.

Disabilities among individuals may occur at birth or when growing up, depending on the environmental conditions. Individuals should not worry much about the issues since; it is difficult to solve them. Therefore, it is essential that one understands and accepts a situation to live with the problem. Parents react in different ways once they learn that their newly born babies are suffering from certain conditions. Some of the reactions include denial, anger, and failure to accept. I think that the responses are wrong since they are likely to affect the parent's health conditions. Instead of exposing themselves to further problems, parents and relatives should acknowledge the feelings, inform oneself, wait for some time, focus on the positive, and connect with the loved ones. Individuals suffering from any impairments are not lesser beings since with the right care, they too can achieve their goals in life. 👀

Visual impairment is a condition that leads to partial or total eyesight loss among individuals. The situation is not new since people living in the 13th century recognized the challenges people and made initiatives to help them. For instance, King Louis IX of France facilitated the formation of an organization to represent the group. Despite that the formal learning process for the blind was not set, the leaders and innovators came up with ways to help the population. Denis Diderot developed the first education plan for the blind, and since then, the system has been designed to help many people. Parents should thus not worry about their children suffering blindness since they can still succeed. 🙈

Visual impairment has different causes, and hence one should not generalize the suffering people. As such, everyone needs special treatment from others, depending on the extent of the challenge, but many people fail to understand. Parents should know that there are organizations that help the visually challenged people and thus link up with them while they not the kids have such challenges. Another critical issue in handling the visually impaired is to learn how to communicate with them without offending them. It is also essential for people to understand the need for aids to help the population live efficiently. Various people with a visual impairment such as Marla Runyan, athletes, and Helen Adams have succeeded in life, and offering the right support is essential. 🙉

Hearing impairment is also known as hearing loss and is the total or partial decrease in detecting sounds. The condition may occur at birth or other stages in life, depending on certain factors. In the same way, people with hearing challenges need proper treatment for them to succeed in life. Hearing loss come in three different ways, such as conductive, sensorineural, and mixed hearing loss. Understanding the challenge is essential for treatment and handling practices to enhance quality life for the affected. Deafness was first reported in the 18th century, and much development has been made to better the lives of the affected. However, much has to be done to ensure that all the affected individuals access quality education and opportunities. 👂

Parents should consider seeking help from the available organization for the deaf. The organizations will facilitate the allocation of appropriate aids to the deaf and promote education and achievement of goals. Additionally, I think it is vital that individuals learn proper ways to communicate with the affected without hurting them. Having the right knowledge and resources will facilitate the success of disabled people and encourage interactions with everyone. Individuals such as Gerard Butler and Pete Townshend are examples of successful people despite their hearing challenges. 💖
