16
Q

Where does “Normal” come from?

A

Statistician (Adolphe Quetelet) applied “law of error” from astronomy to human and social behaviour, measured various traits of people and the middle of the curve was how people “ought to be”
Then people thought that the best place on the curve was above average (insult to be within the mean), which creates even more pressure for people experiencing disability that aren’t even in the middle

17
Q

A social constructionist’s account of disability

A

“Understand disability in relation to socially established standards for socially created tasks”, “emergence of normalcy is what creates problems for the disabled”
- Author’s view is that –> disability is a social construct (social model) and we should widen our definition of normal

18
Q

Attitude Theories

A

Ways to change attitudes
1) Contact Theory
2) Persuasive Communication Theory
3) Social Cognitive Theories

19
Q

Contact Theory

A
  • Change attitudes through increased contact
  • Nature of contact must include:
    • Equal status
    • Cooperating to achieve common goal
    • Support from authority figures
20
Q

Persuasive Communication Theory

A

Persuade
Directly - Lectures, documentaries, one-on-one talks, etc.
Indirectly - Personal contact, simulation activities
(PRO) Gentle
(CON) Unintended consequences

21
Q

Intended and Unintended Consequences of Persuasive Communication Theory

A

Intended: Increase sensitivity + compassion, positively change attitudes + behaviours, raise awareness of marginalization + barriers
Unintended: Doesn’t capture lived experience, may trivialize, participant discomfort, offensive to disability community, may reinforce negative stereotypes

22
Q

Social Cognitive Theories

A

Group Dynamics Theory - follow norms of group, goal is for groups to have positive attitudes towards disability
Experiential and Observational Theory - learning through experience

23
Q

Service Delivery Models

A

(Exclusion doesn’t deliver services)
Segregation
Integration
Inclusion

24
Q

Segregation

A

Facilities-based model
- Offered separately
- 1900-1950
- Institutions, residential programs, special schools, etc.

25
Q

Segregation - Pros and Cons

A

(PROS) Some choose programs, 1:1 or small group instruction, focus on individual needs
(CONS) treated and viewed as patients/victims, limited choice + interaction with society + education + recreation (unless prescribed), mistreatment + abuse + lack of privacy (eugenics and forced sterilization)

26
Q

Integration

A

Services-based model
- Existing in the same space
- 1950s
- Mainstreaming
- Least Restrictive Environments (LRE)
- Reverse integration

27
Q

Mainstreaming

A

Putting people with impairments put into programs designed for people without impairments (for mild impairments after assessment)
- Provides special services
“Dumping ground for disability” “too far, too fast”
- Often implemented badly (no planning or staff)
- Severe impairments were put into regular programs without plans/supports

28
Q

Least Restrictive Environments (LRE)

A

Matches abilities of all people with services, with a “cascade of services” placement availability, movement through cascade depending on readiness
(CONS) One environment doesn’t prepare for another, movement rarely happens, legitimized segregation/restrictive environments

29
Q

Reverse Integration

A

Disabled people/programs are the integration agent (ex. para-sport)
- Equitable participation
- Highlights abilities
- Awareness of architectural and attitude barriers in society

30
Q

Inclusion

A

Service delivery readily available for anyone at anytime, we exist in one plane
- Recognizes and accepts diversity, welcoming
- Belonging, acceptance, value
- Subjective
(CONS) Love of the cause distracts from individual needs, ignores parental preferences, problems with quality of educational programs, lack of qualified staff
