Introduction

The distinction made be WHO (32) in its definitions ofimpairment disability and handicap has been widely used and

quoted. Briefly, the definitions are as follows:

An impairment is any loss or abnormality of psychological,

physiological or anatomical structure of function

A disability is any restriction or lack (resulting from an

impairment) of ability to perform an activity in the manner of

within the range considered normal for a human being

A handicap is a disadvantage for a given individual, resulting

from impairment or a disability that limits or prevents the

fulfillment of a role that is normal (depending on age, sex

and social and cultural factors) for that individual.

These definitions have been increasingly criticized, particularly

by organizations of disabled people on the grounds that they

focus too much on the individual with the disability and fail to

reflect the extent to which the lives of disabled people are

disadvantage by the social structure of the society in which they

live. Although the WHO definition of handicap includes the

concept of disadvantage, its origins are located in the individual

and not in society and its institutions. These definitions also make

no direct reference to environmental or family factors.

SOCIAL MODEL OF DISABILITY

1


2/40

The social model of disability insists that social structures

and the barriers (difficulty) to which they given rise need to be

modified. For example, there are still countries where a child

whose intelligence quotient (IQ) falls below a certain point is

denied access to education in schools, either ordinary or special.Similarly, many disabled adults are denied the opportunity of

obtaining vocational training or of securing paid employment, not

because they have been shown to be incapable of work but as a

direct result of negative attitudes by decision makers or because

the workspace is inaccessible. For disabled people who are denied

access to opportunities and facilities, discrimination is a daily

experience.

The social model does not seek to minimize or deny the

presence of impairments and the restrictions that these may

impose on the independence and autonomy of the disabled

person. But it does place more emphasis on the importance of

society and its institutions being modified to meet the needs of

disabled persons. This contrasts with the traditional assumption

that it is disabled people who should be trained to adopt or adjust

to society. The models can be seen as complementary rather thanas mutually exclusive in meeting the needs of individuals within

their own social and family settings.

Helander suggests that disability might simply be defined as

follows:

A disabled person is one who in his/her society is regarded

or officially recognized as such because of a difference in

appearance and/or behaviour, in combination with a functionallimitation or activity restriction.

Disabled Peoples International (DPI), a world federation of

organizations of disabled persons, has proposed alternative

definitions:

2


3/40

Impairment is the functional limitation within the individual

caused by physical, mental or sensory impairment.

Disability is the loss or limitation of opportunities to take part

in the normal life of the community on an equal level with

others due to physical and social barriers.

The DPI definition therefore dispenses with concept of handicap

altogether, regarding it as misleading and discriminatory.

A Brief Introduction to Disabilities

TYPES OF DISABILITY

Mainly there are seven types of disability which are as follow:

1. Mental Retardation

2. Mental Illness

3. Visual Impairment

4. Hearing Impairment

5. Orthopedically Handicapped

6. Cerebral Palsy

7. Multiple Disabilities

MENTAL RETARDATION:

Mental retardation is a condition and not a disease. Person with this condition will

have less mental ability or intelligence than others of his age. Such persons have

difficulty in learning, understanding and communicating to others and in adjusting

their behavior to the various situations in everyday life.

MENTAL ILLNESS:Persons suffering from mental illness have normal development of physical and

mental abilities. Mental illness is a disease which can occur at any age due to

several causes, e.g. - an unexpected illness, an injury from an accident, the loss of

job, etc. if identified early and diagnosed correctly, it can be treated completely.

VISUAL IMPAIRMENT:Blindness refers to a condition where the person suffers from any of the condition:

total absence of sight, visual activity not excelling in the better eye with best

correcting lenses, or limitation of field of vision subtending an angle of 200 ORworse.

HEARING IMPAIRMENT:A person with hearing impairment having difficulty of various degrees in hearing

sounds is an impaired person.

ORTHOPEDICALLY HANDICAPPED:The orthopedically handicapped are those having disability of bones, joints or

muscles leading to substantial restriction of the movement of the limbs or any form

of cerebral palsy.

CEREBRAL PALSY:Cerebral Palsy is the term used for a group of non-progressive, non-contagious

conditions that cause physical disability in human development.

MULTIPLE DISABILITIES:A person who has a combination of two or more disabilities is considered to have

multiple disabilities.

E.g. - visual impairment + hearing impairment + mental retardation

Types and Causes of Cognitive/Language

Impairments

Mental Retardation.

A person is considered mentally retarded if they have an IQ

below 70 (average IQ is 100) and if they have difficulty

4


5/40

functioning independently. For most, the cause is unknown,

although infection, Down syndrome, premature birth, birth

trauma, or lack of oxygen may all cause retardation. Those

considered mildly retarded (80-85%) have an IQ between 55 and

69 and are considered educable, achieving 4th to 7th grade levels.They usually function well in the community and hold down semi-

skilled and unskilled jobs. People with moderate retardation (10%)

have an IQ between 40 and 454 and are trainable in educational

skill and independence. They can learn to recognize symbols and

simple words, achieving approximately a 2nd grade level. They

often live in group homes and work in sheltered workshops.

Language and Learning Disabilities.

Aphasia, impairment in the ability to interpret or formulate language

symbols as a result of brain damage, is frequently caused by left cerebral vascular

accident (stroke) or head injury. Specific learning disabilities are chronic

conditions of presumed neurological origin which selectively interfere with the

development, integration, and/or demonstration of verbal and/or non-verbal

abilities.

A Brief Introduction of PWD act 1995:

Estimated 70 million people are disabled in India (~7% of

population). The Persons with Disabilities (Equal Opportunities,

Protection of Rights & Full Participation) Act, 1995 (PWD Act) is a

landmark legislation for the disabled in India. The effectiveutilization of various provisions of this Act plays an integral part in

ultimate socio-vocational rehabilitation of its beneficiary. This is

possible only if the concerned person is aware of his rights and

knows how to go about it. Therefore it is necessary to frequently

assess the awareness of any program among its beneficiaries,

5


6/40

implementers and any contact persons to assess the success of

effectiveness of it. So, in this project, I try to know community

awareness on mentally challenged and disabled person.

The Main Provisions of PWD Act:

I. Prevention and Early Detection of Disabilities

II. Education

III. Employment

IV. Affirmative Action

V. Non-Discrimination

VI. Research and Manpower DevelopmentVII. Recognition of Institutions for Persons with Disabilities

VIII. Institution for Persons with Severe

IX. Social Security

X. Miscellaneous

Research Methodology

Topic:

disabled person highly qualified male in Nadiad city.

Significance of the title:

7/40

Society focuses too much on the individual with the disability and fails to

reflect the extent to which the lives of disabled people are disadvantage by the

social structure of the society in which they live. Although the WHO definition of

handicap includes the concept of disadvantage, its origins are located in theindividual and not in society and its institutions. These definitions also make no

direct reference to environmental or family factors.

There are estimated 70 million people are disabled in India and by some of

the estimated it is believed that in some of the parts of India still there are some

prejudices regarding mentally challenged and disabled person. Government also

takes some actions for mentally challenged and disabled but community should

also take responsibility. So it is necessary to frequently assess the awareness of anyprogram among its beneficiaries, implementers and any contact persons to assess

the success of effectiveness of it. Here, an attempt is made to assess the level of

awareness by this study.

This study will help awareness level of community male educated persons

of Nadiad city. This study also cover elements relating help and support for

mentally challenged and disabled person so it also useful for them.

Objective:

1. To know prejudice of community leaders regarding mentally challenged

and disable person.

2. To get opinion of community leaders regarding ability of disable person.

3. To motivate community leaders for their help/contribution in the

development of disable person.

4. To remove their prejudice regarding mentally challenged and disable

person.

34


35/40

manufacture work. Community leaders should help Maitry with their extra

ordinary skill to improve their facility and services for disable person.

Suggestion

1) There is need for creating awareness regarding disable person

2) There is need for motivate community leaders for rehabilitation of disable

person.

3) To improve referral services, creating awareness regarding Rights and duties

of disable.

4) To give vocational training and education to disable person so that they can

also get employment and better life.

5) Volunteers and community leader play an active role for total rehabilitation

of disable person in society.

6) Government should provide help to disable person like buss pass, railway

concessio0n, scholarship, medical treatment, aids and appliances,

educational kit etc. and appreciate N.G.O. who r working for disable person.

7) Community leader should also take some responsibility to create vocational

training centre and they should also take some responsibilities for mentally

challenged and disabled person.

8) Mostly in poor and uneducated family believe that mentally challenged and

disabled persons are result of sins of their previous birth so they do not

accept them. This type of prejudice still prevailing in India so awareness is

main need for accepting them.

9) Poor family does not accept them because they believe that these types of

person cannot do any productive work. They also believe that they are

always depending on other. These types of prejudice also should be removed

by awareness programme.
