Inclusion as a concept began to gain prominence in the late 20th century, particularly during the 1980s and 1990s, when educational and social movements advocated for the rights of individuals with disabilities. The idea of inclusive education emerged, emphasizing the integration of students with diverse needs into mainstream classrooms. This shift was influenced by various international agreements, such as the United Nations' Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, adopted in 2006, which further solidified the commitment to inclusion across various sectors.
Devaluation can impact persons with disabilities by reinforcing negative stereotypes and biases, leading to discrimination and exclusion in society. This can result in limited access to resources, opportunities, and support services, hindering their ability to fully participate in society and achieve their potential. It can also contribute to lower self-esteem and feelings of worthlessness among persons with disabilities.
