Choose one of the six movies listed below about an individual with an intellectual disability. Identify the character’s disability. Discuss the characteristics displayed that are indicative of the disability. This can be separated into three subsections:
Cognitive Functioning and Learning (learning rate, memory, attention, generalization, maintenance, motivation)
Adaptive Behavior (social relationships, daily living skills and self-care)
Behaviors (repetitive or challenging behaviors, self-injurious, maladaptive, aggressive)
If the intelligence quotient (IQ) is mentioned, include it in the description.
Also, discuss positive attributes the character displays throughout the movie (e.g., friendly nature, talented musician or artist, a desire to learn, strong work ethic). Finally, discuss ways you can support a student with a similar disability in your inclusive classroom.
Movie Choices
The Peanut Butter Falcon
I Am Sam
What’s Eating Gilbert Grape
Radio
Forrest Gump
Mozart and the Whale
Your paper should include an introductory paragraph with a thesis statement that guides the reader throughout the remainder of your analysis. It should also include a concluding paragraph that summarizes your overall understanding and interpretation of the individual’s disability and how the actor portrayed it.
