For example, you may not think a person can handle college. If they insist on trying, then you authorize a semester in an evaluation plan to let them see what it is like and whether they can handle it. And sometimes they surprise you. A strong will to succeed can do amazing things. It's the key, really - trying to tap in to that motivation if you can find it.
Society still stigmatizes and discriminates against people with disabilities.
It happens, obviously, for people with physical disabilities, but often for people with psychiatric disorders too. The effects of those attitudes are unpredictable. It depends on the person and the type of diagnosis label applied to them. If the disability is not visible, like a mental disorder, and the person acts normally, then there usually won't be a problem. If the person looks significantly different or odd, then the attitudes will be there and that makes getting a job a whole lot harder.
