Body Of Christ Mentally Handicapped
1,578 words
This project is a response to the necessity of our
churches taking a more active role in the
integration of handicapped persons into the life
of the church. Ecumenism has its focus on unifying
all Christian belief systems. However, if there
are existing divisions over the issues surrounding
the handicapped in our churches, unifying our
churches will be a moot effort. Ecumenism, if it
is truly a movement for the wholeness of the body
of Christ, must take into consideration the issue
of the handic...

are apparent in some children while in others they

... y, these rages occur in TS children who appear
well-adjusted individuals. The etiology of the
apparently high rates of anxiety, depression, and
other emotional difficulties found in individuals
with TS remains unexplained. These are likely the
products of the interplay between biological
vulnerabilities and experiential factors.
Frequently, children and adolescents with TS are
teased by their peers. They are often regarded as

Learning Disabilities In Today Children

While researching childrens learning disabilities
and Attention Deficit Disorder, issues were
brought to my attention, that I unfortunately, had
never noticed. As I look back, even as far as
elementary school, I remember children who were
teased or made fun of, because they were slow. I

Some individuals within the disabilities community
have stated that the use of genetic testing, which
results in the abortion of fetuses with certain
traits or dispositions, can be interpreted as a
form of eugenics. Prenatal screening programs that
prevent the occurrence of children being born do
exist, as noted earlier in the state of
California. "The success of the program is
evaluated not in terms of information given to
mothers but rather in terms of the number of
children with handicaps who...
