Unit 12 Supporting Individuals with Additional Needs Learning aim B/CIn this essay, I will be talking about the difficulties individuals with
additional needs and the health and social care workers who can
help them overcome the challenges to daily living. I will also go over
the social construct of disability and certain statutory provisions
that will benefit my two case studies. Different models of disability
and how society can minimise environmental and social challenges
for both my case studies and others with additional needs.
We have 2 models of perceiving disability: the medical model and a
social model. The medical model focuses on the individual's
condition and tries to treat it with medication or other specialist
intervention i.e surgery. The social model was devised by disabled
people and sees the issue as a socially created problem. These are
barriers and can be physical, like inaccessible information/buildings
or caused by people's attitudes and practises to differ, like assuming
disabled people can't do certain things. Their main aim is to assist in
recognising challenges that make life difficult for disabled people.
Disabled people gain more freedom, choice, and power as these
obstacles are removed. This model exposes the ways society limits
access to goods, work and services for disabled people.
The term disability is mainly defined as a physical or mental
condition that limits an individual’s senses, activities and
movements. Disability usually refers to a long term or substantial
difficulty carrying out tasks or activities of daily life i.e disability from
a back injury where the person can no longer get dressed or bathe
without help. While an “impairment” is used to describe an individual
who no longer has a function in one part of their body. Impairment is
the actual condition while disability is the restriction of ability
caused by the condition. Discrimination is treating someone as
inferior based on their sex, age, race, disability or other
characteristics.
The social construct of disability is the view that society and its
institutions have the power to construct disability around social and
the “normal” expectations of health. Society can implement lots of
facilities to help people with additional needs. There are daily
barriers that prevent access and availability to disabled people.
Minimising these barriers for service users can consist of placing
things in a public place that will help an individual with certain
disabilities to still access.
Minimising personal and environmental barriers
When it comes to minimising personal challenges health and social
workers have a responsibility to aid and assist with activities they
can no longer carry out on their own. However, they should also
encourage the individual to do as much as they can independently.
