This study-unit will provide students with an introduction to the main issues that disabled people face in their daily lives, with an opportunity to discuss these issues from different perspectives and examine how they are dealt with in the relevant literature. Different aspects of life will be dealt with, including health services, education, employment, leisure pursuits, relationships, as well as the social model of disability and the use of language when speaking about disabled people.
The students will be presented with different situations related to different themes taken from the research literature in order to engage in a guided discussion on the theme, taking into account the importance of listening to the perspectives of disabled persons and of parents of disabled children. Throughout the study-unit, students will be required to produce short write-ups with reference to the discussions during each lecture, the research paper discussed and other relevant literature identified by the students.
