DESCRIPTION

All over the world there are persons with disabilities who experience difficulties participating in their societies. The scale of this problem is highlighted by the World Health Survey and the Global Burden of Disease, both from 2004, which show the estimated prevalence of disability to be 15.6% and 19.4% respectively (WHO 2011). This course looks at issues surrounding disability. We will review relevant theories and models related to disability, including the medical model, social model and ICF model. In addition, in this course you will learn to reflect on various theories related tocdisability, and think critically about strategies to address the medicalcand social problems faced by people diagnosed with a neuropathy.
