Analyzing Disability in Childhood: A Case Study of Life Progression

This case study explores the impact of disability on childhood, focusing on a 7-year-old child named Lisa who faces dyslexia. It considers how disability deviates from socially constructed notions of childhood and life course progression. The analysis incorporates the social and functional models of disability to understand Lisa's challenges with language-based learning, communication, and social interaction in school. The study further discusses current service provisions and strategies, such as therapies and supportive policies, aimed at fostering Lisa's development and addressing the issues faced by her family. References to relevant research highlight the importance of community-based support and medical attentiveness in improving outcomes for children with disabilities.
