Disabilities Disability is a major issue faced by our society. An attempt to describe the term disability can be very challenging. Views of disability can differ immensely from an “able-bodied” person in comparison to the view of “disabled” individual. World Health Organisation categorised disability into 3 groups: Impairment (e.g. loss of a body part), Disability (e.g. cannot run) and Handicap (e.g. cannot play football). When you hear the term “disability,” you are likely to conjure up images of people who struggle with every day activities, such as walking, preparing meals, or driving a car. You are also likely to think of handicapped parking areas, wheelchair ramps, and motorized scooters. This is only a tiny portion of the world of disabilities. Some people who are disabled bear no obvious signs of their condition. Among them are people who suffer from mental disorders, respiratory conditions or other illnesses. Those who have difficulty performing certain functions – seeing, hearing, talking, walking, climbing stairs, lifting or carrying – are considered to have a disability. Additionally, a person who has difficulty completing daily living tasks or struggles with certain social roles (doing schoolwork for children and working at a job or around the house for adults) is considered disabled. Someone who is unable to perform one or more activities or uses an assistive device such as a wheel chair to get around, or needs help from another person to bathe, dress, eat, or complete any other basic task is considered to have a severe disability. A disability can also take the shape of a physiological disorder or condition, disfigurement or anatomical loss affecting one or more of these bodily systems. A disability can also be any mental or psychological disorder. If you are newly disabled, and facing the world in a whole new light, you may benefit from the services a social worker can provide. You may be feeling angry, sad, or even despondent about your situation. A social worker can either offer you talk therapy or refer you to someone who specializes in your particular issue. They can also link you to a support group in your area, a safe place where you can share your concerns and frustrations with others in a similar predicament. A social worker can make the same referral for your loved ones as well. They too may be struggling with the daily frustrations and challenges that come with having a relative with a disability. They may also crave the camaraderie and understanding that comes with a support group. Likewise, you may not know where to turn for practical help, such as finding the best wheel chair for your apartment or learning if you qualify for certain benefits or services. A social worker can help you here, too. жүктеу/скачать 264,17 Kb. Достарыңызбен бөлісу:
