| Summary |
This volume examines the social construction of disability that is associated with inferiority and highlights practical strategies for change. This resource gives social work educators, students, and practitioners the opportunity to embrace diverse and creative ways for integrating a generalist social work model in their work with various size systems that are related to disability. Chapters include extensive references, appendixes, tables, and figures to clearly illustrate topics. This work includes model curriculum on disabilities that incorporates diverse perspectives of social work practice with individuals who have physical, cognitive, and psychiatric disabilities; the academic process of helping students who are disabled achieve their academic goals; components of the Americans with Disabilities Act -- and key decisions made by the Supreme Court strategies of intervention for macro change; a historical overview of family policy and practice as it relates to children and adolescents who are disabled; a biopsychosocial framework as an assessment tool to develop interventions; information on the use of the therapeutic relationship and psychodynamic and ecological approaches to social work practices; information on helping clients with disabilities develop adaptive religious and spiritual beliefs; and basic guidelines for undertaking research about and with people who have disabilities |
