Mai: Hi, what’s up? Why are there so many

boxes in the library?

Maria: I’m preparing some Christmas gifts

for secondary students with disabilities

in the school we visited two months

ago These are students with various

visual, hearing, physical and cognitive

impairments.

Mai: Cognitive impairments?

Maria: That’s learning difficulties.

Kevin: I have a neighbor who is blind, deaf

and dumb, and needs a lot of help to get

around.

Maria: Well, you shouldn’t use words like

“dumb” or “deaf”

It’s disrespectful.

Mai: I agree There are so many

students with a disability who

have talents and skills.

Maria: That’s right And we need to help them to become independent, integrate

in the community and achieve success at school.

Mai: So what are these Christmas gifts?

Maria: Last month, the Youth Union in our school had a meeting and decided to start a “Special Christmas Gifts”

campaign to collect gifts for local charities So far, the students in our school have donated more than 100 gifts Mai: That’s great! Can students from other school join your campaign?

Maria: Sure! A few other schools have already joined us They have sent us textbooks, dictionaries, CD players, batteries….

Kevin: I have an idea for a gift! A talking pen for learning foreign languages.

Maria: Great idea! What a meaningful gift! Mai: Thanks, Maria I’ll talk to my

classmates and what we can do.

How do you think non- disabled people perceive

and treat people with disabilities?

Treat a friend with a disability or illness just like you would any other friend Your friend may want to talk about their

condition; then again, your friend may not You can let them know you care by telling them you will listen any time they feel like talking If you’re meeting someone new, you may need to figure out how to act You can ask the person if she wants any help and talk about the usual things you talk about with anyone new.
