Response Assignment 3

Your Cumulative Project for the course will be an ongoing assignment. Not every week has an assignment to add to this cumulative project, but most do. You should complete the assignment during the week it is paired with a video topic, but you will not submit any of the assignments until the end of the course. Therefore, keep all of your responses in one place as you complete each assignment. When you get to the end of the course, submit all of the assignments at once. 

1. Cultural context is an important part of having discussions and putting together supports. After watching the video this week, share about how persons with disabilities are perceived in your own cultural context. You may want to explore these and other themes: 
   • If someone in your community gives birth to a child with a disability, what would be the community’s reaction? 
   • What emotions are connected with the word “disability” in your culture? 
   • What difference does it make if the disability comes on later in life (such as through an accident or illness)?
