his own labels, he is engaged in a self-labeling process. The labels he imposes upon
himself are not recognized by his peers. Everyone engages in a process of self-labeling
that may not be recognized by others with whom they interact. Thus, self-imposed labels
reflect how we perceive ourselves, not how others see us.

37. Your text describes three labeling approaches that can be used to describe the nature and extent of differences.
Briefly describe one of the three approaches and provide an example.
ANSWER: The three approaches described in the text are: developmental, cultural, and self-
labeling. The developmental approach to labeling is based on deviations from what is
considered normal physical, social, or intellectual growth. Human differences are the
result of an interaction of biological and environmental factors. According to the
developmental view, normal development can be described statistically. We observe
large numbers of individuals and look for those characteristics that occur most
frequently at a specific age. The cultural perspective defines what is normal according
to the standards established by a given culture. Whereas a developmental approach
considers only the frequency of behaviors to define differences, a cultural perspective
suggests that differences can also be explained by examining the values inherent within
a culture. What constitutes a significant difference changes over time, from culture to
culture, and among the various social classes within a culture. The self-labeling
approach asserts that all people engage in a self-labeling process that may not be
recognized by others. Self-imposed labels reflect how we perceive ourselves, although
those perceptions may not be consistent with how others see us. The opposite may also
occur: The culture uses a given label to identify a person, but that label may not be
accepted by that person.

43. What must people with disabilities have access to in order to ensure a bright future?
ANSWER: Access to these supports creates the opportunity to be included in community life.
Successful inclusion requires a two part approach: (1) appropriate support needs to be
provided to help individuals become more independent (education, job skill development,
social skills), and (2) the community needs to strive for ways to reduce barriers and
increase inclusion. Access to adequate housing and a barrier-free environment are
essential for people with disabilities. Barrier-free facilities are created by requiring that
buildings and public transportation incorporate barrier-free designs.

44. Labels are used extensively despite the potential negative consequences. Discuss the rationale for labeling people with
disabilities.
ANSWER: Many social services and educational programs for exceptional individuals require the
use of labels to distinguish who is eligible for services and who is not. Funding may even
be contingent on the numbers and types of individuals who are deemed eligible. Labels
assist professionals in communicating effectively with one another and provide a
common ground for evaluating research findings. Labeling helps identify the specific
needs of a limited number of people. Labeling is a means by which we can determine
degrees of needs or priorities for service when limited societal resources are available.
