CARING FOR INDIVIDUAL WITH ADDITIONAL NEEDS

Dear Madam,
I will be explaining ranges of barriers that people with additional need may
experience as a direct result of their additional needs. Additional needs are extra
requirements or support that individuals may need. The additional needs may be
physical, sensory and cognitive needs. There are also some barriers that individuals
with those additional needs may experience. These barriers can be employment
opportunities, physical access, cultural barriers, communication barriers, financial
barriers, and attitudinal barriers, barriers to access and opportunities and also lack of
choices. So in this letter, I will also be assessing the barriers which individuals may
experience by linking them to the models of disabilities which are the medical model,
social model, the holistic model and the normalisation model.

The employment opportunities are based on people with disabilities which they find it
hard to get jobs. This then shows the inequalities that people with disabilities faces
and one of them is employment opportunities. Example is if an individual has Down
syndrome, a worker may not accept them, but instead reject them because of their
disability and that makes them be labelled. And because of their disabilities, they will
be on benefits. So linking it with the models, if an individual has a loss of limb and a
leg, the medical model would say that the individual could go into surgery to get a
prosthetic limb and a leg to get a job or continue with their job. In the social model
part, since the individual has a loss of limb and a leg, that individual may not get from
one place to another, so buildings should have lifts, ramps, stair lifts and also aid for
living things so that it would be easier for the individual to access a building. The
