Browse Hierarchy RHAB7004: Disability: Individual and Global Perspectives

A module which gives students opportunity to critically explore the nature and experience of disability using a variety of models. Students will critically analyse these models, using them to examine the socio-political and economic environments with a view to understanding how these may foster dependency and limit the roles of disabled people. There will be an opportunity to consider the ways in which healthcare professionals interact with 'people with a disability', their carers and their environment in order to promote positive health outcomes. (Students will be able to reflect on their own practice, making creative/innovative responses to complex and challenging situations which disabled people face.)
