This is the subject for my DD's French A level oral exam. Please do not be offended or upset, she realises that it is a passionate and emotive subject for many on here, but would like to have first hand feelings and thoughts to help her present both sides of the statement. Thank you for your help.

Id there any specific area she needs to concentrate on? Maybe you/ she could post some questions that we could answer?

does disability need to be "combated"- some people with disabilities just want to be accepted. The deaf culture is a good place to look for that sort of stuff of see here for another example

why is being different consideered a disability? its a tough subject really.
