DIS501

2020

Credit points: 15

Subject outline

In this subject, students will learn how social and economic participation are core to current disability policy and reforms. People with disabilities should have similar expectations to other community members that they can make choices and have opportunities to participate in society by having jobs, going to school or university, using community facilities, participating in political activities or civil society, having friends and becoming members of clubs and associations. In this subject, students will explore the multiple interpretations of community participation and consider different models for working to support participation through individual support or community and systems change. In terms of economic participation, the evidence about outcomes of inclusion in educational setting, and models of post school options and employment support will be examined.
