Answer 1

Answer: hope it helps

Explanation: a)social model of disability - It is the belief of society that a person or a group of people with disabilities cannot contribute to society as much as those with no disability. As a result, people living with disabilities are viewed as having less value than others.

b) social devaluation- This views ‘disability’ as the result of people living with impairments interacting in an environment with physical, attitudinal, communication, and social barriers.

c) strengths-based practice- It sees the person with a disability as an individual rather than a sick person. The person must also be valued and is worthy of respect no matter their disability.

d) active support- This includes programs to promote learning and social development work with individuals and groups in their communities using formal and informal teaching and learning methods.

e) person-centred practice- It focuses on what a person living with a disability can do, rather than what he/she cannot do.

f) community education- It is developing a person’s skills and capabilities to promote their independence. It is demonstrated through doing a task with the person rather than doing a task for that person.

g) capacity building- It enables and empowers people with disabilities to participate in all aspects of their lives.
