Disabilities are categorised in different forms i. e. learning or physical. Learning disabilities which affect development could be. Autism autism is a developmental disability which affects how a person relates and communicates with other people and the world near them.A child/young person with autism finds it difficult to understand facial expressions or the tone of a voice.

The social model of disability. In the 1970s and 1980s a civil rights based onward motion was developed by handicapped people.Buildings were strengthened in such a way that there was no access for wheelchairs. Information was produced in a way that disabled people could not use. Attitudes and stereotypes just about a disabled person prohibited a disabled person from having the same opportunities as an able bodied person. Special s ervices were created that kept disabled people segregated and cut off from everybody. The medical model of disability. Under this model a disabled person was defined by their illness or medical condition. If they did not fit into society then they were institutionalised or kept isolated at home.A disabled person had no options over What school they attended, what support they received, If they were allowed to work and where they could work. Overall in the last fifty years there has been a huge step in thinking when it comes to the care and program line of disabled children and young people. in the past the social and medical mode of disability meant that opportunities for learning and developing were denied for those with disabilities. However, today there is a different approach and majority of settings look for ways of increasing learning and development for disabled children and young people.
