Disability Integration Model

192 Words1 Page

Progression have been crafting disability solutions for organisations for over 14 years. During this time natural patterns have emerged. This brought about an evolution in Progression’s integration processes, which have since been analysed and developed into a holistic Disability Integration Model. The various solutions offered by Progression have been split into three different stages within the model. The Progression Assessment Centre was established as a dedicated part of the business to enable Disability Equity strategies to be fully assessed in an inclusive manner. The model follows a cyclical approach, which can be implemented at any stage in the employment process.
The launch of the programme, earlier this year brought together 80 employers

  • Disability In Adah's Book Backward

    226 Words  | 1 Pages

    Being in the Congo forces Adah to look at her disability in a different way—almost like reading a book backward. "Nobody cares that she 's bad on one whole side," she says, "because they 've all got their own handicap" (1.7.11). People in Kilanga are missing arms, legs, and eyes, and they go on about their daily business like it 's no big thing. We have a feeling she has the same view of her body as many people in Kilanga do: it 's just a tool, a vessel to carry her through this life.

  • Disability As A Justification For Inequality: Analysis

    220 Words  | 1 Pages

    As Baynton discusses disability as a justification for inequality, I view it in the sense of a social concept of disability that sets the platform for discrimination and violence against the minority groups. This concept has been implemented in U.S. history to allow discriminatory practices against the minorities to occur. Basically, women, individuals from different races, and ethnic minorities were labeled as disabled as well to interpret inequality as a positive concept. For example, there was justification for slavery in which African Americans did not have the required intelligence which made them incapable of equality with other Americans. This assumption was ascribed to physical causes and differences that were visible in their race.

  • Affirmation Model Of Disability Art Analysis

    187 Words  | 1 Pages

    The Disability Arts Movement is a representative of the Affirmation Model because it helps us understand the ideas and thoughts that a person with a disability has on an issue. It is an expression of their perspective and how they feel inside. It gives support and hope to other people living with a disability within the disability culture too because when they see the art they will realize that a lot of us are feeling the same way. Towards an Affirmation Model of Disability (Swain, French, 2010 p.573) states that disability art not only breaks the division between the disabled and non-disabled, it also breaks stereotypes. The research paper explains that the writings and experiences expressed through the art shows that having a disability

  • Susan Wendell's The Social Construction Of Disability

    822 Words  | 4 Pages

    In “The Social Construction of Disability,” Susan Wendell briefly discusses how the fast pace of American life impacts the social construction of disability through an inability for people with “disabilities” to maintain expectations of a high-performance level. Wendell also claims that the pace of life causes disability in many people’s lives, but quickly moves on to another topic, referencing chapter four of Barbara Hillyer’s Feminism and Disability in the footnotes as a place for more information on this argument. In Hillyer’s chapter “Productivity and Pace,” she writes to the feminist and disability communities, analyzing how the pace of life affects them both in similar ways. Through an analysis of how people with disabilities are forced to set their own daily pace, Hillyer hopes to encourage others to learn about the necessity of slowing down.

    The term inclusion is often seen as simply referring to learners with special needs, where it is interpreted as the ‘complete acceptance of a student with a disability in a regular classroom.’ However the notion can be viewed much more broadly. A common misconception about inclusion is that it is solely about including people with disability in regular sport activities without any modification.
