Testo completoThere is an increase in the number of people with disabilities entering, and in the workplace. Industrialised countries are encountering a workforce that is ageing, which makes the prevalence of disability, due to chronic illness amongst employees, more evident. However, even with legislation and policies that support people in the workplace, such as the Employment Equity Act 55 of 1998, the Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment Act 53 of 2003 and the Code of Good Practice on Disability in the Workplace, many people still choose not to disclose their disabilities. Therefore, the main purpose of the study is to identify the perceived factors that could possibly prevent the disclosure of disability in the workplace. The study was conducted at one of the universities in the Western Cape. The study was qualitative in nature and made use of semi-structured interviews. Ten participants took part in the study and comprised of two academic staff members from each of the faculties on the main campus. Content analysis was used to analyse qualitative data where various themes and subthemes emerged.

Testo completoDisability in South African labour law is reduced to incapacity. An evaluation of disability and incapacity was made to advocate a clear conceptual break between the two concepts. Also, that disability should be grounded in a social model paradigm of disability which was a materialist critique of how capitalism constructs disability. To enhance the analysis discourse analysis was employed to illustrate how language, ideology and power sustained the notion of disability in capitalist society. A comparative analysis was made drawing on American disability jurisprudence and Canadian disability jurisprudence to illustrate the difference in approach between the two legal systems with a suggestion that the Canadian approach was better suited to the development of a South African disability law. And the development of South African disability law it was argued would benefit if a legal construction of disability was crafted to deal with the obstacles that disabled people encounter in the work-place.

Thesis, Södertörns högskola, Socialt arbete, 2020. http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:sh:diva-40936.
Testo completoStudiens övergripande syfte är att studera och belysa fenomenet diskriminering i relation till individer som besitter en synlig funktionsnedsättning. Den huvudsakliga empirin har grundats i kvalitativa intervjuer och fullgjort inflytelserika kunskaper. Huvudresultatet har därav exponerat en kontextburen diskriminering, i form av sociala samhällsstrukturer och fysiskt missanpassade offentliga miljöer. Diskriminering påvisas således vara ett vanligt förekommande fenomen och uttrycker sig av ojämlika förhållanden, i form av bristande inkludering i sociala situationer. Studiens resultat har dock visat generella orsaksförklaringar av denna problematik – som bottnar i bristande kunskaper, och i sin tur, utgör negativa föreställningar. Studien uppmärksammar därav människor med synliga funktionsnedsättningar, i en betydelse av att alltmer naturligt inkluderas i samhället. Utifrån studiens analys har fyra framgående teman identifierats; bristande inkludering, mellanmänskliga interaktioner, negativa tilldragelser och bristande kunskap.

Nowadays, the deficiency is a multidimensional thematic, approached by the most various areas of the Science, from the spheres of health, like medicine, to Social Sciences, such as Law and Politics. However, this plurivision is something recent, so that until the middle of the 21st century a purely biomedical perspective of the phenomenon of disability prevailed in a hegemonic way, considering it as pathology. The social model of disability emerges as an innovative paradigm, defining disability as the livingness in bodies with impairments in environments with barriers. In these terms, it becomes part of human diversity, not a stigma. In spite of this interpretative revolution, the deficiency is still governed by common standards, by charitable attitudes or even relegated to social invisibility. The Brazilian Law contains a vast number of protective norms for people with disabilities, however, they need enforcement. This misfortune is due in part to the lack of studies on this topic from a legal perspective. Furthermore, even within the sociology of health, the social model is still poorly diffused. Therefore, the objective of this work is to analyze the social model of disability from a Law perspective, showing "if" and "how" the internal legal system is adopting such archetype. The methodology used was the analysis of the content of national and international decisions and legislations, as well as the bibliographic review about the disability. The results found in this study show that the Brazilian State has a mechanism to enforce the rights of people with functional diversity, though, obstacles, such as invisibility, prejudice and socioinstitutional disengagement represent environmental barriers that generate and promote the exclusion of the disabled.
Hodiernamente, a deficiência é uma temática multidimensional, podendo ser abordada pelas mais variadas áreas da Ciência, desde as esferas da saúde, como a medicina, até as Ciências Sociais, como o Direito e Política. Entretanto, esta plurivisão é algo recente, de maneira que até meados do século XXI prevalecia de modo hegemônico uma perspectiva puramente biomédica do fenômeno da deficiência, considerando-a como uma patologia. O modelo social da deficiência surge como um paradigma inovador, definindo deficiência como a vivência em corpos com impedimentos em ambientes com barreiras. Neste sentido, ela se torna parte da diversidade humana e não um estigma. Apesar dessa revolução interpretativa, a deficiência ainda é governada pelos ditames do senso comum, por posturas caritativas ou mesmo relegada à invisibilidade social. O Direito brasileiro contém um amplo rol de normas protetivas das pessoas com deficiência, que contudo, carecem de densificação. Essa mazela deve-se em parte a carência de estudos sobre a temática pela ótica jurídica. Ademais, mesmo no âmbito da sociologia da saúde, o modelo social ainda é pouco difundido. Portanto, o objetivo deste trabalho é analisar o modelo social da deficiência pela perspectiva do Direito, demonstrando “se” e “como” o ordenamento jurídico interno está adotando tal arquétipo. A metodologia utilizada foi a análise de conteúdo de decisões e legislações nacionais e internacionais, bem como a revisão bibliográfica sobre a deficiência. Os resultados encontrados demonstram que o Estado brasileiro dispõe de mecanismo de efetivação dos direitos das pessoas com diversidade funcional, todavia, óbices, como a invisibilidade, preconceito e descomprometimento socioinstitucional representam barreiras ambientais que geram e promovem a exclusão dos deficientes.

Testo completoIn this thesis, I examine two main questions regarding accessibility. The first question concerns why retroactive requirements for increased accessibility, enkelt avhjälpta hinder (easily eliminated barriers), have been added to the Swedish building legislation. The question is examined by a review of older building codes and reports published by disability commissions. The review found that accessibility requirements have existed in building regulations since the 1960s. The extent of the requirements has varied, but many requirements set in the new policy are relatively similar to those in older building codes. The study gives two explanations for why the new policy is needed. First, a majority of the built environment in Sweden was constructed before any accessibility requirements were legislated. Second, the actors in the planning and building process have previously lacked sufficient knowledge on disability. The study shows that the new policy is a means to raise the knowledge on disability and accessibility. The second question concerns how the new policy has been implemented in Swedish municipalities, and whether some specific implementation strategies have been particularly effective. Through literature reviews and interviews in a municipality, two main factors are identified as crucial for the success of accessibility adaptations: how well the work has been planned in advance and how the collaboration with the disability movement has been arranged.

Testo completoRefugees with disabilities belong to two marginalized groups, which makes them particularly vulnerable. The collective knowledge about their situation is insufficient. The purpose of this study is to describe, and investigate, the obstacles that refugees with disabilities may encounter during the initial stages of the resettlement process. The study was carried out in the form of a literature review. A literature search resulted in 11 peer-reviewed, scientific articles, in which empirical, original research is presented. The analysis was conducted using Michael Oliver's social model and intersectional theory. The results show that lack of accessibility, information, and knowledge causes experiences of disability during the resettlement. Marginalization processes occur in the intersections between refugee status, disability, class, ethnicity, and gender. Considering the results, an attempt to enhance the coordination between the efforts of various agencies is proposed, to improve the situation for refugees with disabilities.

Testo completoA busca pelo Ensino Superior tem levado anualmente milhares de jovens do paÃs inteiro a se inscreverem no Exame Nacional do Ensino MÃdio (ENEM). Inicialmente criado, em 1998, com o objetivo de avaliar o desempenho do estudante ao final da EducaÃÃo BÃsica, a partir do ano de 2009, passou a ser utilizado como ferramenta de seleÃÃo para a EducaÃÃo Superior. Tal exame, que na atualidade apresenta vÃrios objetivos, deve assegurar a todos, indistintamente, o acesso, conforme previsto no princÃpio jurÃdico da igualdade ou da isonomia, que afirma que todos sÃo iguais perante a lei. O ENEM, portanto, deve prover recursos que garantam a igualdade a todos que dele desejem participar, sendo necessÃria, aos organizadores desse exame, a preocupaÃÃo em disponibilizar recursos que atendam adequadamente as necessidades daqueles que apresentam especificidades em seu desenvolvimento, comportamento, mobilidade, entre outros. Dentre aqueles que necessitam de recursos diferenciados para se sentirem incluÃdos estÃo as pessoas marcadas pela surdez, caracterÃstica esta que provoca no indivÃduo um modo diferenciado e particular de desenvolvimento, visto que a audiÃÃo à um dos principais elementos responsÃveis pela aquisiÃÃo da linguagem e sua ausÃncia irà interferir na constituiÃÃo e desenvolvimento do pensamento, memÃria e de outros processos psicolÃgicos bÃsicos. Apesar da existÃncia do princÃpio da isonomia em nossa legislaÃÃo, sÃo muitos os relatos de queixas de estudantes surdos que nÃo se sentem contemplados nos recursos de acessibilidades previstos pelo Inep para a realizaÃÃo do ENEM. Exemplo disso à que, ao longo dos anos, temos encontrado diversas manifestaÃÃes advindas da sociedade civil, seja por meio de mÃdias sociais ou atravÃs da procura dos meios jurÃdicos, para a conquista do direito a esse princÃpio bÃsico no ENEM. A pesquisa que se apresenta a seguir intenciona investigar as condiÃÃes avaliativas de acessibilidade no Exame Nacional do Ensino MÃdio â ENEM para alunos com surdez na cidade de Fortaleza, estado do CearÃ. A realidade que se desenha justifica a importÃncia social da realizaÃÃo de pesquisas que possam investigar e aprofundar conhecimentos sobre a temÃtica. Academicamente, uma pesquisa na Ãrea se justifica pela escassez de material cientÃfico que trate sobre o assunto e pela importÃncia de construir conhecimentos mais consistentes sobre a acessibilidade no ENEM. Para realizaÃÃo dessa investigaÃÃo, foi realizada uma pesquisa qualitativa, na forma de um estudo de caso. Foram utilizados como instrumentos o questionÃrio, a anÃlise de documentos e a entrevista semiestruturada. Os resultados apontam para a inadequaÃÃo de recursos de acessibilidade para candidatos surdos, pois estes apresentam grande dificuldade na compreensÃo da lÃngua portuguesa, o que favorece uma incompreensÃo do que à solicitado pelas questÃes do ENEM, que apresentam longos textos em seus enunciados. Os resultados apontam que os surdos nÃo possuem autonomia nesse exame e dependem quase que exclusivamente do intÃrprete para a sua compreensÃo.

Testo completoA theoretical analysis of the social integration of the disabled revealed that the image of social disability of disabled people depends on and is formed by the society’s mass ideology. It has been also noticed that scientific literature considers the social rehabilitation process of the disabled to be a constant, uninterrupted and complex process during which disabled people acquire and develop skills of independent life education. The social rehabilitation process of the disabled has to be integral, meanwhile medical rehabilitation and nongovernmental organization must promote teamwork while providing the disabled with necessary theoretical and practical knowledge which, in turn, forms the image of physical disability in society. A hypothesis was raised that the image of physical disability that specialists providing the disabled with social rehabilitation have affects the effectiveness of cooperation. The research conducted with a help of a questionnaire survey aimed at the following tasks: to examine the peculiarities of the formation of the image of people with spinal cord injuries in wheelchairs in the institutions of social rehabilitation; reveal the importance of different social rehabilitation specialists and the disabled to the formation of the image of physical disability and the effectiveness of cooperation; identify effective components of the interaction with the disabled. The data of the research are summarized by applying statistical methods, factorial and... [to full text]

Testo completoThis study utilizes contributions from different fields of knowledge to understand the universe of meanings that determine the social practices related to persons who face difficulties in intellectual abilities. Social constructionism and the ecological perspective were the basis to discuss intellectual disability as a construct. The approach of social management in public policies was used to think over the public administration in a non-hegemonic viewpoint, in which the public interest comes first and the social dimension of development is a key and integral part of the economic activity. The investigation took as objects of study: 1) the discursive constructions about intellectual disability; 2) the discourses on public policies to identify tendencies and implications of the ways of comprehending intellectual disability. From the methodological perspective, the French analysis of discourse was the basis for the analytical device devised to analyze the discursive formations. Four definitions of disability and eleven definitions of intellectual disability were selected and analyzed. In the discourses defining the construct of disability, as a broad category, I have found that the meanings are associated with the social model that considers disability as the result of factors related to personal characteristics and the environment which a person is a part of. However, regarding the construct of intellectual disability, there are still several discourses referred to the assumptions of the medical model, which takes disability as an individual problem demanding capacity to adapt to situations and challenges of everyday life. The significances linked to the social model are present but they do not prevail. In the discursive constructions by nine policymakers, conceptions were analyzed in reference to intellectual disability; as well as elements related to the political processes involved in the making of public policies. The results point to several meanings associated with the social model of disability, which reveals a tendency of considering the role of society and the State in the construction of an inclusive culture in terms of public services. But there are sharp differences in the way these meanings are built and intertwined. While there is reference to the 2006 International Convention on the Rights for People with Disabilities, which is a landmark for the social model, there are also several meanings associated with the medical/rehabilitating model. The fact that some meanings are absorbed does not mean that other conflicting meanings are immediately abandoned. Such fact reveals a process of appropriation of discourses on disability, which happens gradually towards the social model. In the discourse of the interviewees, marks were found of functionality, diversity, capacities, as they reveal meanings under construction and being disputed. In relation to the tendencies in public policies, meanings associated with the human rights approach were more persistent.
