Treating People with Disabilities: Equality and
Inclusion
Introduction
The treatment of people with disabilities has been a topic of ongoing debate and
advocacy. While progress has been made, there is still room for improvement. This
essay argues that people with special needs (disabilities) should be treated the
same way as people without any special needs. By examining the principles of equal
rights, educational equality, and social integration, we can understand why this
approach is essential.

often get overlooked by their institution and overwhelmed during this transition, contributing
to an achievement gap for these students.
