Abstract:

Disability Mainstreaming zielt (analog zu Gender Mainstreaming) darauf, Anliegen und Bedürfnisse der Personengruppe 'Menschen mit Behinderung' nicht allein in den für diese Gruppe offensichtlich wichtigen Bereichen anzusprechen, sondern sie in allen gesellschaftspolitischen Handlungsebenen mitzudenken und dementsprechende Forderungen umzusetzen. Dabei wird ‚Behinderung‘ vorrangig als soziale Konstruktion interpretiert, die mit der Erfahrung von Diskriminierung und Exklusion einhergeht.

Abstract:

The thesis sits between three academic fields: disability studies, development studies and East Asian studies. It is an unusual but important study of disability in a nonwestern culture. The thesis is unusual because it explores macro-level (rather than grassroots) constructions of disability, focusing on institutions and ideologies. It is important because no-one has (to my knowledge) undertaken this kind of macro-level analysis on a developing country; and also (again, to my knowledge) because the story of the macro-level construction of disability in China has not been told before.

The ADA definition of disability reflects an historical shift from defining disability within the individual (the medical model) to constructing disability within the social environment (the socio-political or interactional model). Further, this shift reveals a movement away from paternalistic to empowering rehabilitation policies and service delivery systems. Similarly, academic programs in Rehabilitation are updating their undergraduate curriculum in ways that reflect changes that have taken place in public policy and service delivery related to disability, knowledge emerging from the field

Abstract:

This thesis is concerned with the relationship between the political economy and UK governments’ approaches since the 1970s to out-of-work disability benefits. It uses a historical materialist analysis of both the current mode of production and the social model of disability to understand how and why there is a disconnect between government approaches to disability and disabled people’s lived experiences. The concept of a ‘validating device’ – the mechanism used to determine who is exempt, on the grounds of disability, from having to seek employment - is utilised to analyse changes in out-of-w

Abstract:

The assessment of people with disabilities is complex. The priorities adopted and issues addressed vary. The Multiple Sclerosis Disability Profile was developed and is currently used to assess people with MS in Australia. However, little is known about its psychometric properties and people with MS have not had a previous opportunity to comment on its relevance to them. Therefore the reliability and validity of the Disability Profile was assessed using widely used assessment methods and the views of people with MS.

Abstract:

The aim of this thesis is to outline the story of intellectual disability from a medical perspective as experienced by the author during more than 40 years working in the NSW Health system. Most of the writing over the last 30 years is from a sociological perspective after the idea of normalization changed the philosophy of care, and medical perspectives have been largely absent. The first chapter provides an introduction and historical background to the concept of intellectual disability. The story over the centuries is one of parallels and conflicts in the medical and sociological discourses

Abstract:

Intellectual disability, and in particular profound intellectual disability, has an impact on all aspects of a quality of life including that of spiritual development. Some insight into this influence can be gained from a historical review of the attitudes in general towards people with an intellectual disability. Such a review may be especially pertinent when inferences can be drawn from a religious context. References from the Bible through to contemporary sources present, at best, a mixed record. Contemporary responses from the church have taken the form of policies and guidelines
