The integrated social work methods approach combines various social work methods and theories into a unified whole to provide a broader perspective for understanding and addressing problems. It allows social workers to draw from different approaches and use an array of techniques flexibly based on the client's unique situation rather than being limited to a single method. While this provides benefits like increased understanding and effective problem-solving, it also lacks the rigor and consistency of individual theoretical approaches.

Gauging the impact of social model awareness among elementary and secondary s...Frederic Fovet
There has a been an exponential development – if not an explosion - of inclusive policies and practices adopted within the elementary and secondary sectors in most Global North jurisdictions over the last two decades. While the discourse around inclusion has grown as a result, it would be unwise to assume that inclusive practices have become the norm or that they have been seamlessly integrated: there is still a lot of tension and unease among teachers seeking to implement inclusive practices; this translates into hesitation and sometimes even a push back from school leaders; there remains much confusion at times as to the intentions and theoretical principles that ground these efforts.
The session will offer insights into a study which sought to determine to what extent an introduction to the Social Model of Disability was effective and impactful in allowing elementary and secondary school teachers to ground their work in the field of inclusive practices with conceptual clarity. It is argued that this has so far been the missing piece in pre-service teacher training as well as in-service professional development. The inclusion discourse within the primary and secondary landscape, both in terms of policy documents and field resources, has not explicitly or effectively integrated Disability Studies - and more specifically the Social Model of Disability - when framing and formulating inclusive provisions. As a result, teachers’ theoretical understanding of the foundations for inclusive reforms as they relate to the rights of children with disabilities is shaky at best and this affects these classroom professionals’ commitment to broad transformative pedagogical reforms. Bio-medical and deficit models prevail, and other lenses and constructs offered by the Disability Studies literature remain absent from this professional reflection.
The session explores qualitative data collected among K-12 teachers as they were being introduced to the key features of the social model of disability. The data analysis gauges to what extent this transformed their views on inclusion in the classroom.
This fully interactive session will lead the participants, in a hands-on fashion, along the journey experienced by these teachers and allow for an experiential understanding of the degree to which any material developing awareness of the social model of disability can have immediate impact on the clarity and effectiveness of inclusion efforts in the primary and secondary sectors. More widely, a discussion will be triggered in the session around the urgency of including Disability Studies scholarship in pre-service teacher training.
Presentation Frederic Fovet Congress of Humanities and Social Sciences 2019Frederic Fovet
Inclusive provisions have been statutorily mandated in North America for now over two decades. Despite a growing body of literature around inclusive practices, many in-service teachers continue to express difficulties when it comes to tangible implementation of Inclusion in the everyday classroom. While there is debate around the various forms Inclusion can take (UDL, differentiation, personalization, etc.), there appears to be a more significant hurdle in getting in-service teachers to fully embrace Inclusion both as a goal and a practice.
This paper investigates teachers’ degree of awareness around the Social Model of Disability. It argues that teachers often lack basic awareness of Disability Studies, more particularly of the Social Model of Disability, and that this has a direct impact on their capacity to conceptualize and embrace Inclusion.
The paper draws from the researcher’s experience as a graduate instructor with in-service teachers, as well as from his experience as a consultant working with schools and school boards. The methodology chosen here is phenomenology, and it draws on tools such as auto-ethnography.
The paper opens a discussion around the reform and transformation of pre-service teacher training. It argues that Disability Studies should be integrated into teacher training as it plays a key role in having teachers develop a theoretical understanding of Disability as a social construct.

1. Integrated Social Work Methods
• Integrating means combining parts into a whole
• It is sometimes referred to as the multi-disciplinary/generalist approach
• Combining various methods allows social workers to have a wider
perspective when looking at a problem-not limited to a single area of
focus such as the individual but even the family and community at large
• An integrated approach enables the worker to have more sophisticated
ways of looking at a problem thus allows understanding of variables
• The integrated approach is similar to but not the same as eclecticism
2. Cont.
• They both involve the application of concepts that cross scholastic
boundaries
• Eclectism and integrated approach are sometimes used interchangeably
yet they have distinct meanings
• Eclectism has been used to denote pragmatic case based approaches in
which components of different approaches are employed without trying
to build a unifying conceptual theory
3. Cont.
• In integration there is more extensive consolidation of theories into a
meta-level theory that struggles with and works through the
juxtaposition of the meanings of different concepts or social methods
• Social work is organised at a number of levels
• Theory
• Strategy
• Intervention (Lebow, 2005)
4. Cont.
• An approach may utilise one school of thought (theoretical framework)
but can be quite eclectic in employing strategies and interventions in the
context of the theory
• Such an approach would involve no integration at a theoretical level but
will involve considerate crossing of scholastic boundaries at the levels of
strategy and intervention
5. Strengths of the integrated approach
• It taps from a wide base of knowledge (eclecticism)
• The approach allows for the amalgamation of theories that will enable
explaining human conditions because humans are characterised by a
multiplicity of factors and phenomena e.g. with psychoanalysis we
cannot explain the individual as a whole
• Helps in understanding clients from a combined perspective, consider
the influence of genes as well as socialisation (tries to strike a balance
between nature and nurture-biological and social factors)
6. Cont.
• Allows greater flexibility in correcting any given individual, family, group
and community problem without being tied to one monolithic
treatment trajectory but can shift anytime considering the nature of the
problem ( increases efficiency of intervention).
• Reduces reductionism – belief that all human problems result from
psychological problems without considering the bio-psychosocial which
is person-environment interactions which are considered complex
7. Cont.
• Specialisation narrows the way one perceives and understands problems
e.g. a community organiser understands a problem in relation to
community change, development etc. while caseworkers in terms of
counselling, therapy etc. (Compton & Galloway,1984)
• In the integrated approach the social worker works with the client and
target groups through direct ways like casework and groupwork and also
use indirect methods like consultation, brokerage, advocacy through
working with other professionals and organisations (Anderson, 1981).
8. Cont.
• Allows for the use of an array of techniques that are known to the social
worker and allows a variety of treatment and care options
• Social worker is not confined, he/she is free to move to other methods
thereby giving them the chance to alternatively intervene and impact on
presenting problems [more effective in solving problems than
specialisation which merely focuses on the achievement of narrow
methodological goals]
• Applicable to the broader client population
9. Cont.
• Techniques and goals can be adopted to the clients being served and the
problem as well as the time available and intervention
• Social workers can be better able to match the treatment they offer to
their own personal conception/perception of problems and change as
well as their own personality characteristics
• Therefore the person characteristics and personalities of the social
worker has a key role in practice because a behavioural profession
• A social worker should test that the therapy they give to others is useful
and not harmful
10. Cont.
• Integrative approach allows for the possibility of the intervention to
have a best fit with the social worker who delivers the treatment this
enables for the development of an organic fit between the practitioners
and practice rather than artificial draft and practice to provider
• Social workers are most likely to offer interventions for which they are
best suited resulting in greater skill in integration and increased
efficiency.
• It also increases greater belief in the social worker interventions and a
communication of this belief to the client which are crucial factors in
social treatment
11. Cont.
• Integrated social workers can combine the major benefits of the specific
methods considering that each method has specific strengths and social
workers can freely draw from these strengths
• Social workers are likely to bring greater objectivity to the selection of
strategies for change because they have less of an investment in the
adequacy of a particular method.
• Integrative practitioners are free to experiment and explore literature
relevant to the adequacy of specific techniques
12. Cont.
• An integrative approach can be readily adapted to include new
techniques that have been proved/demonstrated to be effective
• Social work is a contemporary profession so is continuously confronted
with new practice information, change occurs countrywide and it’s not
unidirectional
• Integrative approach offers several advantages to the training of social
workers, the training offers a broader range of experiences than method
specific training it also promotes an open attribute on the social workers
and furthers the development of the workers ‘critical faculties
13. Limitations of the integrated approach
• One pitfall is that it lacks a theoretical rigour of definitions of concepts
and a connection between the conceptualisation of the human condition
and practice [no one theoretical frame of reference or understanding]
• It is just but a broader array of intervention but with no detail
• The approach assumes that when dealing with clients there is a lot of
time and resources, thus the approach may be difficult to implement in
areas without such resources
14. Cont.
• The approach lacks consistency, not as systematic as the other individual
social work methods found within social work
• The approach/intervention has been criticised for manifesting utopian
views and asserting grandiose goals of resolving all levels of problems
• Its application requires a lot of skill in selecting appropriate methods
