Disability Awareness - 840 Words

Disability Awareness (L22347) My name is Janet Long and I am going to write a case study on Disability Awareness. I have based this case study on one of my clients, Mary, who has a form of disability known as Lewy Body Dementia. In this case study. I will be focusing on the independence value of the social model of care. I will be examining the * The Social Model of Care * Supports that can be put in place * Strategies used by the client to maintain their independence * Recommendations Mary’s dementia has restricted her quality of life and her independence and I will be looking at how we can optimise her independence and hence her quality of life. I have spoken to Mary family and ask them who was involved in Mary†¦show more content†¦This monitoring and support needs to be made up of experienced and trained personnel who will be able to support Mary in her own environment while still allowing Mary to have a degree of independence. I also feel that it is necessary to educate the general public in the issues surrounding mental disabilities and how to help them integrate into society. If people were able to have a better understanding of mental disabilities they would become more tolerant and less fearful. It is the ignorance that creates the fear and if we can remove the ignorance then the fear should be removed. It is important to concentrate on the abilities and not the disability to allow Mary to have a normal life as much as possible. We should not lose sight of Mary’s abilities and rights to use these abilities.
