With its focus on disability equality theory and the medical and social models of disability, this programme encourages participants to think about how they can tackle disability discrimination at work. It promotes an organisational response, helping teams to enable the fuller participation of disabled people. By removing physical, attitudinal and systemic barriers and fostering an understanding of disablism, participants are more able to address cultural change within their organisations. Furthermore, the approach to changing environment and culture is consistent with other current theories and guidance that are applied widely across our services.

This document discusses the importance of using people-first language when referring to people with disabilities. It advocates describing what a person has, not what a person is, by putting the person before the disability. People-first language, such as saying "a person with autism" rather than "an autistic person", emphasizes that people with disabilities are people first and foremost. The document also argues that terms like "handicapped" and "disabled" are misused and can create negative stereotypes, whereas people with disabilities are a diverse group no different from others except for facing prejudice.
Individuals with disabilities have historically been treated as second class citizens in Canada. They were institutionalized and faced discrimination. Labels like "idiot" and "moron" were used to describe people with disabilities, influencing negative perceptions. While the Ontario Human Rights Code now prohibits disability discrimination, individuals with disabilities still face barriers to full inclusion and equality including higher rates of poverty, lack of support programs, and social stigma. Solutions include changing perceptions of disability, improving support systems, and promoting greater awareness and acceptance of individuals with disabilities.
successful life of differently abled personsRAHANA NK
This document provides examples of successful differently abled individuals and defines what it means to be differently abled. It begins by explaining that differently abled refers to those with physical, mental, or psychological impairments that interfere with normal development. Next, it lists seven categories of disabilities recognized in India and provides short biographies of influential figures who overcame disabilities, including Stephen Hawking, Helen Keller, Nick Vujicic, Oscar Pistorius, Sudha Chandran, Ravindra Jain, and Wilma Rudolph. It concludes by stating the importance of including disabled people in society and making India inclusive and discrimination-free for all.
This document provides information and guidance on disability awareness training. It discusses why institutions should make themselves accessible to people with disabilities from institutional, economic, and legal perspectives. It defines disability from a social model perspective and discusses invisible disabilities. It also covers communication strategies, welcoming different groups with disabilities, accessibility design, accommodations, and the accessible web. The overall goal is to promote inclusion and equal opportunities for people with disabilities.
This document discusses discrimination faced by Dalits, or marginalized groups, in South Asia. It notes that Dalits have historically faced social and economic deprivation compared to other groups in the region. The research aims to eliminate untouchability, reduce discrimination, promote social and economic empowerment of Dalits, and establish human rights among Dalit communities. While countries like India and Bangladesh have recognized Dalit rights in their constitutions, Dalits continue to face dehumanizing practices and exclusion in these countries. The types of discrimination faced by Dalits include denial of access to services, resources, social relationships, and participation in social or religious programs. In Bangladesh specifically, most Dalits are from Hindu and Christian religious minorities, who are decreasing
The document discusses the history and models of disability and disability rights movements. It traces the development of the social model of disability from the 1960s civil rights movements. The social model views disability as caused by social and environmental barriers rather than just by individual impairment. It led to the independent living movement and disability liberation groups advocating for equal rights and accessibility. The document contrasts this with the medical or individual model that locates disability within individuals.
Disability awareness training is needed for several reasons: 19% of Americans have a disability but many still face discrimination. Training helps people understand that disability is just one aspect of a person and see individuals as people rather than their disability. It also helps develop skills to communicate and relate to people with disabilities and understand challenges they face. Overall, training creates a more inclusive environment for all.
Challenges facing people with disabilities and possible solutions in Alexander Decker
1. The document discusses the challenges facing people with disabilities in Tanzania. It notes that over 3 million people in Tanzania have a disability and face issues like lack of universal access to buildings, high rates of poverty, unemployment, and lack of access to education and healthcare.
2. People with disabilities in Tanzania experience mistreatment, abuse, and torture in some areas. They are often denied access to loans and have few opportunities for education or jobs. Only 16 special schools and 159 integrated units exist to serve people with disabilities.
3. Causes of disability in Tanzania include infectious diseases, accidents, congenital conditions, malnutrition, and chronic illnesses. Many disabilities could be prevented with improved prenatal and neonatal

This is a throrough presentation displaying the findings of an investigation that served as the basis for an essay about disabilities in the country of Argentina. It may be used as a guideline to research about disability policy in other countries. Very useful tool for teachers and academics.
The document discusses the need for and potential components of a disability communication course. It notes that existing courses do not adequately address disability issues and that media does not know how to properly handle disability. The proposed course would aim to sensitize, train, and educate about how to handle disability issues in media and society. It would cover topics like the construction and scope of disability, disability in India and its portrayal in Indian media, challenges of communicating with diverse disabled populations, and potential curricular components and challenges of an interdisciplinary course.
This document discusses equality, diversity, and inclusion in an early years setting. It defines key terms like equality, diversity, and inclusion and outlines relevant legislation like the Equality Act 2010. It explains how to support equality and diversity through fair treatment, creating an inclusive environment, and ensuring non-discriminatory policies. The document also defines discrimination, discusses how an inclusive environment reduces it, and provides sources to seek advice on equality and diversity issues.
The Arizona Developmental Disabilities Planning Council (ADDPC) works to eliminate barriers and increase opportunities for self-determination for people with developmental disabilities. The ADDPC is committed to improving employment opportunities, expanding self-advocacy skills, and serving as a reliable source of information. The ADDPC publishes the Legal Options Manual to guide the transition to adulthood and provide resources on issues like education, health care proxies, and living wills. The ADDPC aims to protect individuals while fostering independence and provides additional support for primary care providers.
The document discusses societal views on disabilities and inclusion over time. It focuses on the Americans with Disabilities Act and how it prohibits discrimination. It also discusses labeling people, describing human differences, and the roles of professionals in supporting those with disabilities. Finally, it outlines services and supports needed to ensure a bright future for people with disabilities.
The document discusses the medical and social models of disability. The medical model views disability as caused by impairment and focuses on what people cannot do. The social model sees disability as stemming from social and environmental barriers that restrict participation. It argues impairment is separate from disability. The social model shifts the focus to removing disabling barriers in policies, systems and the physical environment. Disability hate crime is also addressed, which includes any criminal offense motivated by a hostility toward someone due to their real or perceived disability.
This document provides information about a disability awareness course, including its aims, objectives, structure, and assessment methods. The course aims to develop knowledge of disability awareness and covers topics like the meaning of disability, attitudes and barriers faced, and the social model of disability. The qualification is awarded by Education Development International, comprises one unit, and involves flexible workshop and online sessions as well as a final multiple choice assessment.
This document discusses social work with people with disabilities. It begins by defining disability according to the World Health Organization and Australian Institute of Health and Welfare. It then summarizes key findings from the 2015 Survey of Disability, Ageing and Carers that found 18.3% of Australians live with a disability. The document outlines four main models of disability: the moral approach, individual/medical model, economic/policy model, and social/political model. For each model, it discusses the social worker's role and criticisms. It emphasizes that social workers must recognize influences of different models in policy and practice to effectively support people with disabilities. The document concludes by listing key practice issues for social work in this area.

Invest In Inclusion or Invest in Exclusion: The Choice is Ours! Presentation ...LiveWorkPlay
When talking to the general public about disability and accessibility, this is often what comes to mind: they see a person in a wheelchair who cannot get through the door. These types of barriers remain of course, and I am sure right here in this city someone will go out looking for work tomorrow and experience this very same injustice. But today I want to talk about a different type of barrier, a different level of injustice: what if the very people and systems that are supposed to be supporting a person with a disability to have success in the community are deliberately investing in keeping them out of the community? What if they are discouraged from even trying to get through the door?
The document discusses ADD International's work to promote independence, equality and opportunity for disabled people living in poverty. It focuses on four key areas: inclusive education, economic empowerment, access to services, and equality for women and girls. ADD International supports over 127 disability rights organizations globally through capacity building and influencing policies. Their goal is to empower disabled activists and strengthen the disability rights movement.
This document provides information about stereotypes and misconceptions related to people with disabilities. It discusses common myths and facts, and explains how stereotypes are formed from a lack of understanding. The document is divided into chapters that cover myths and stereotypes, how media portrayals influence perceptions, and the negative impacts of stereotypes. It provides tips for hospitality workers to avoid stereotypes and focus on individuals' abilities rather than their disabilities when interacting with customers. The overall message is that education can help reduce misconceptions that create barriers for those with disabilities.
The document outlines 4 models of disability - the traditional, medical/charity, social, and human rights models. It discusses the evolution of perspectives on disability from viewing it as punishment or something to be cured, to recognizing disabled people as equal members of society with rights. Key points covered include the social model's focus on societal barriers versus individual limitations, and the human rights model's emphasis on disabled people's right to inclusion and access.
The document discusses disability in the workplace and the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). It explains that before the ADA, employers could deny employment simply due to a person's disability. The ADA established rules to protect disabled individuals from discrimination and ensure equal treatment and rights in the workplace. It also clarifies what constitutes a disability under the ADA. As a result of these protections, more people with disabilities now feel confident applying for jobs knowing they cannot be denied employment solely based on their disability.
People With A Mental Disability Or Handicap Are.pdfsdfghj21
The document discusses how people with mental or physical disabilities are often not treated equally compared to people without disabilities. It provides examples from the novel "Of Mice and Men" where characters like Lenny face discrimination due to their disabilities. While laws now aim to promote equality, disabled people may still experience unequal access to healthcare, employment, and social stigma. The document argues for greater awareness and support for the rights and unique needs of those living with disabilities.
Three quadriplegic men came to UC Berkeley to attend its unique dorm program that provided housing and attendants to support disabled students' independence. The men stayed in Berkeley due to its strong disabled community, accessibility efforts, and supportive social climate. The broader Bay Area has long been a center of the disability rights movement and is home to advocacy groups, artists and activists. Berkeley implemented federal disability laws early on to promote accessibility and anti-discrimination. However, the document argues that a capitalist system's emphasis on economic productivity marginalizes those unable to work, threatening government programs that support the disabled.
Literature Review On Women With DisabilitiesMary Stevenson
Parents of children with learning disabilities face a dilemma in deciding whether to promote their child's autonomy and self-advocacy or have someone else represent their child's interests. A discourse analysis of interviews with parents found that most choose the latter, trusting others over their child, in order to protect them from perceived risks. However, this overprotective approach removes opportunities for the child to gain independence. The concept of autonomy for those with learning disabilities is an issue that parents carefully consider, weighing protection versus fostering self-determination.
The document discusses persons with disabilities and underprivileged sectors of society. It provides examples of prominent individuals with disabilities like Helen Keller and Nick Vujicic who achieved success despite their conditions. It defines underprivileged sectors as experiencing social deprivation like lack of access to education and healthcare. Women, children, the LGBTQ community and marginalized jobs like farmers often face issues like poverty, violence and discrimination. The document calls for protecting the rights of the underprivileged and promoting inclusiveness.

Over a period of 4 years, the LiveWorkPlay organization engaged in a successful process of ‘de-programming’ by making a shift from congregated programs to authentic community-based.
This document discusses theories of disability, demographics of disability, and etiquette when working with people with disabilities. It outlines three main models for understanding disability - the moral model which views disability as punishment, the medical model which sees people as flawed needing to be fixed, and the social model which views disability as a socially constructed category. It provides statistics on the large population with disabilities worldwide and in the US, noting higher rates of poverty, unemployment, and segregation among those with disabilities. The document also discusses the Americans with Disabilities Act and the relevance of social work in addressing discrimination. Finally, it outlines five general rules of etiquette when interacting with people with disabilities.
The document discusses why care is important for older people, when living at home is no longer an option, the services required by older people living alone, and how these services can be delivered in urban and rural settings. Specifically, it notes that care is a basic human right and important for socialization and preventing loneliness. When family is unavailable, some assistance may be needed for frail or disabled older adults. Services like home care, social activities, and transportation are important for health, well-being and accessing medical care. These can be provided through community organizations, volunteers, and training family members in both urban and rural areas.
The document discusses the complexity of service and volunteering in developing countries. It summarizes the views of Ivan Illich, who was critical of paternalistic volunteering and believed it encouraged developing nations to adopt Western culture. However, the author disagrees with this view and argues that volunteering can help communities by sharing knowledge and improving lives, for example by teaching better hygiene and farming practices. While acknowledging challenges like language barriers, the author believes volunteers make a positive impact and also learn about other cultures through service.
The document discusses the issue of poverty and approaches to addressing it. It makes three key points:
1) Helping those in poverty must consider their individual beliefs, needs, and dignity, otherwise proposed solutions will not work and may infringe on their rights. A one-size-fits-all approach cannot be taken.
2) Those in poverty are individuals with unique characteristics, circumstances, and preferences that must be taken into account to effectively help them. Simply providing money or other aid may not address their specific challenges or respect their autonomy.
3) For efforts to alleviate poverty to succeed, the humanity and individuality of those living in poverty must remain the top priority throughout the process. Their dignity, independence
Critical Issues in Disability; Final Reflection Paper Gruenhut.docxAudreyGruenhut
This paper showcases the knowledge learned throughout the semester about issues within the disability community and society. Students were to link course content to their own experiences, reflect on their past actions, and discuss actionable ways to improve these issues in the future.
This document discusses a workshop being held to help organizations better understand how to advance racial equity and address systemic racism. It acknowledges that the workshop is being held on indigenous lands. It commits to centering indigenous voices and supporting indigenous-led organizations. The goal is to help organizations develop an understanding of institutional racism and how to address issues of race, trauma, and oppression. The document outlines some of the training topics that will be covered, including implicit bias, adverse childhood experiences, microaggressions, cultural competency, and becoming trauma-informed. It emphasizes the importance of managing self-care when discussing difficult topics.

Presentation to the Rotary Club of West Ottawa. The purpose was to sketch the history of services and supports for people with intellectual disability and put a local as well as human face on developments and problems.
The document discusses prejudice towards the disabled and argues that increasing understanding and education about disabilities can help reduce discrimination. It suggests teaching children from a young age about disabilities through personal experiences with disabled family/friends. This helps children see the disabled as normal and reduces awkwardness. The document also argues for teaching proper disability etiquette in workplaces to make disabled employees and customers feel welcome. The overall goal is to reduce barriers and make all people feel equal regardless of ability status.
Breaking Barriers: Exploring the Future in Rural and Community Nursinggriehl
This document summarizes a presentation given by Greg Riehl about his experiences working as a nurse in rural and remote areas of Canada. Some of the key points discussed include the importance of recognizing one's own privileges and cultural background, understanding concepts like cultural safety and continuity, and advocating in a way that empowers communities rather than acting on their behalf. Riehl emphasizes listening to understand different cultural perspectives and allowing communities to lead in determining their own health needs and solutions.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Beliefs necessary to achieve inclusion
1. ♦ People with disabilities are not their diagnoses.
♦ The “problem” is never a person’s diagnosis; the real problems
arise out of our attitudes and actions related to disability.
♦ Like gender, ethnicity and other traits, disability is a
natural characteristic of being human.
♦ People with disabilities are more like people without
disabilities than different.
♦ All people have gifts and talents, and can contribute to their
communities.
♦ Communities—and the ordinary people in them—have great
capacity to include and support all citizens.
♦ Most needs of individuals with disabilities and their families
can be met by natural supports and generic services in typical,
ordinary environments.
♦ Communities are “ready” to include and support individuals
with disabilities right now, and children and adults with
disabilities are “ready” to be included right now.
♦ Identifying a person’s interests, connecting the person to
others with similar interests in ordinary community activities, and
providing the appropriate supports and accommodations can
ensure community inclusion.
Beliefs Necessary to Achieve
Community Inclusion
Inclusion in the community will happen
when we believe it can happen.
