Abstract
Disability can be socially constructed through the actions of society in erecting barriers and structures that limit the ability of certain persons in society to function “normally”. Such barriers also limit the ability of such persons to access the opportunities, privileges and resources in society. This study examines the societal perceptions about persons with disabilities in Ghana, which cast them as needy, feeble and “abnormal” persons. These perceptions have the effect of limiting their access to resources in society. The situation is even harder for children with disabilities who are denied the opportunity and prospects of inclusive education. The study draws on the perspectives from persons with disabilities themselves, educators, community members, and social workers in Ghana, West Africa. It provides recommendations on the need to recognize and remove the societal barriers that prevent persons with disabilities from functioning as “normal” members of society with the same rights as other citizens.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
