Learners with Asperger's syndrome: guidelines for teachers in inclusive education settingsSanders, Debbie Anne 30 November 2003 (has links)
Learners with Asperger's Syndrome are educated in inclusive education settings. As a result of the recent trend of `inclusion' all teachers may be required to educate all learners in their regular classrooms. This research attempted to explore the nature of Asperger's Syndrome as well as inclusive education in order to develop practical guidelines for teachers of learners with Asperger's Syndrome in regular schools.
The interview responses of eight parents of learners with Asperger's Syndrome as well as the observation of these learners are reported. The results of the interviews and observations, were corroborated with the literature study in order to outline guidelines which would ensure that teachers will cater for the needs of these learners and support their inclusion in the inclusive settings successfully.
Results of this study indicated that knowledge of Asperger's Syndrome and guidelines for accommodating the impairments of these learners is the first step towards successful inclusion. / Educational Studies / Thesis (M. Ed.)

A pesquisa teve como pressuposto, a ausência significativa desses usuários nas bibliotecas e se deteve no atendimento praticado pelo Serviço de Referência (SR) de duas bibliotecas: a Biblioteca Universitária Reitor Macedo Costa (BRUMC) e a Biblioteca Universitária de Saúde (BUS). A fundamentação teórica partiu dos Disability Studies (Estudos sobre Deficiência), formulados por teóricos britânicos da década de 1960, cujos conceitos estruturaram os movimentos pelos direitos das pessoas com deficiência, intensificados mundialmente. Apresenta o Modelo Social da Deficiência, bem como os aspectos históricos relacionados à problemática da deficiência, abordando questões relativas ao preconceito, segregação e direitos humanos. Aborda também o conceito de mediação da informação, a importância do SR e sua prática relacionada às competências em informação, dos profissionais bibliotecários. Efetuou-se uma pesquisa exploratória, com intuito de conhecer a relação que a biblioteca universitária tem com seus usuários com deficiência, visando contribuir para o aperfeiçoamento desse atendimento. Utilizou-se a entrevista como instrumento de coleta de dados, tendo em vista não apenas o tamanho da amostra, como também às características subjetivas das questões formuladas, que revelaram o caráter essencialmente qualitativo da pesquisa. Os resultados foram obtidos mediante a análise das respostas de dois grupos de bibliotecários do SIBI/UFBA: o primeiro formado pelos bibliotecários gestores e o segundo pelos que atuam no SR. Esses resultados comprovaram os pressupostos iniciais da pesquisa, constatando a ausência de usuários com deficiência nas bibliotecas e também a inexistência de políticas institucionais direcionadas ao atendimento dessas pessoas nas bibliotecas do SIBI/UFBA. Os resultados apontam também para a necessidade de uma discussão mais aprofundada sobre a deficiência e sobre a mediação direcionada a esse público. Sugere-se que mudanças na formação dos profissionais bibliotecários são necessárias, além da elaboração de políticas e ações, por parte do SIBI/UFBA, que permitam maior aproximação como esse público específico. / This study focuses on access to information by people with disabilities in university libraries, specifically in the library system of the Federal University of Bahia (SIBI/UFBA). The objective is to investigate the mediating role performed by these libraries and professional librarians who work in them. The research was based on the significant absence of these users in libraries and has been engaged in the observation of the service given by Service Reference (SR) of two libraries: Reitor Macedo Costa University Library and University Library of Health. The theoretical foundation came from Disability Studies, formulated by British theorists of the 1960s, whose concepts have structured the movement for the rights of people with disabilities, intensified worldwide. Displays the Social Model of Disability, as well as the historical aspects related to the disability, addressing issues of preconception, segregation and human rights. Also addresses the concept of mediation of information, the importance of the SR and practice related to information literacy, of librarians. We conducted a exploratory research, in order to know the relationship that the university library has with its users with disabilities to contribute to the improvement of this service. We used the interview as an instrument of data collection, considering not only the sample size, but also the subjective characteristics of the questions, which show the essentially qualitative nature of the research. Results were obtained by analyzing the responses of two groups of librarians SIBI/UFBA: the first formed by the managers and the second by librarians who work in SR. These results confirmed the initial assumptions of the research, noting the absence of users with disabilities in libraries and also the lack of institutional policies focused on serving these people in the SIBI/UFBA libraries. The results also point to the need for further discussion on disability and on mediation aimed at these users. It is suggested that changes in the education of librarians are needed, in addition to the development of policies and actions by the SIBI / UFBA, enabling closer approach to that specific public.

Previous issue date: 2012-07-03 / Throughout modern history the deficiency has been described mainly by the medical knowledge. In this paper we propose to investigate the importance of theory toward understanding the cited phenomenon on other bases than the accepted hegemonic, for this, we assumed that only a movement led by a revolutionary theory can effectively exercise the role of combatant lead. The development cited to materialize mainly through a process of dive on the writings of the London group called Disability Studies, representative current of a movement that can be seen as an inflection point on the historically dominant knowledge in dealing with disabilities, based on explanatory concepts from the field of sociology. Our work will be focused on this literature , aiming to compose a scenario which presents the historical development of this movement, as well as some of its limitations and possibilities to be explored. By materializing a theoretical search process, this work constitutes primarily as a literary composition (involving review, seizure, analysis, explanation and creation of literature), with the guidelines the historical materialism theory, though it does not materialize a Marxist work strict sense. Prior to submission of detailed theoretical corpus, we conducted a methodological process by state of the art on the dissertations and theses produced on (post-)graduate programs accredited by CAPES in fields related to sociological science (Sociology, Social Sciences, Anthropology and Political Science) between 1990 and 2010, mister universe by which Londoners develop their relations on disability. After collecting these data we found empirically that almost nothing was written about disability in the sociological fields. In 5691 texts of sociology cataloged only 10 (0.18%) dealt directly on disability. These data do not show significant changes when we compared the texts produced in the Graduate Program in Anthropology and Political Science. In anthropology, 1893 works were produced, and only 5 (0.26%) of these papers have disability as the main object of study, the same number found in Political Science in a universe of 1211 theses and dissertations. Of the 20 works found in a universe of 8798, only two made sporadic references to the London group. Thus, the deficiency still seems primarily as a medical phenomenon, a pre-sociological issue, not worthy of note to be represented as a matter of research in the sciences that make use of social analysis. In this sense, a question inevitably tends to be made: How to develop emancipatory policies for people with disabilities if the benchmark it leaves is inextricably linked to disability as a condition of dependency? Policies and practices need to be libertarian concepts and epistemologies also libertarian. But such concepts exist and seeking to appropriate the same we did a real scan magazine articles published in Disability & Society, the most important journal in the existing sociological analysis of disability. From June 1986 to July 2011 the magazine published 1487 articles, all in English, although produced by authors from more than 30 countries. Of these, 383 were read in full, which allowed us to compose the lines of this work, having as a foundational assumption the idea that disability is a product of social oppression inserted over the differences expressed by the body of his subjects, so, it is created by the intrinsic insensitivity of the environment in which we operate. From the literature review indicated themes were extracted to analyze the contributions and limits of social approach to disability and the urgent need ownership of their constructs. We conclude that the deficiency to be a category created shown capable of overcoming, whose objective conditions are given in the interstice of capitalist sociality, though never effected due to the structurally exclusive composition that features this system. Having all the means to overcome this oppressive condition that involves people with disabilities and does not exceed it is a phenomenon that highlights so nuclear forms the split between essence and existence, hence the need in fighting against these alienations, which reduces human beings the simple desire to have, the role of mere objects, thus, dispossessed or pruned sharply as the subjective capacity for self-determination, the choice of destination and the means of its attainment. The aforementioned struggle will succeed only when that full coincidence of changing circumstances and the transformation of consciousness, hallmark of any revolutionary act. Revolution, therefore, that never ceased to be the transformation of economic, political and cultural structures, linked by awareness the truths and prohibitions of the system that oppresses us. Only to discover their real interests can actually propose to overcome them. Precisely at the intersection of these elements, the thought of Marx's arises such as philosophy unsurpassed in our time because of its critical and emancipatory property; the dialectical unity between the study of capital and call for its overthrow, the analysis of alienation and fetishism by which we are involved and proposals for the disposal of all the conditions within which a man is to be reduced, abandoned, mutilated, despised. We need to bring Marxism to the analytical field of disability, that is our commitment and the universe with which the reader will encounter now. / Ao longo da história moderna a deficiência tem sido fundamentalmente descrita pelo saber médico. No presente trabalho nos proporemos a investigar a importância da teoria em direção a compreensão do fenômeno aludido sobre outras bases que não as hegemonicamente veiculadas, na medida em que partimos do pressuposto que apenas um movimento guiado por uma teoria efetivamente revolucionária pode desempenhar o papel de combatente de vanguarda. A empreitada envolveu um processo de densa imersão sobre os escritos do grupo londrino denominado Disability Studies, corrente representativa de um movimento que pode ser visto como um ponto de inflexão sobre os saberes historicamente dominantes no trato com a deficiência, tendo por base conceitos explicativos oriundos do campo sociológico. Sobre esta literatura nosso trabalho se debruçará, intuindo compor um cenário que apresenta o desenvolvimento histórico deste movimento, assim como algumas de suas limitações e possibilidades projetivas a serem exploradas. Por materializar um processo de busca teórica, o referente trabalho se constitui basicamente como uma composição literária (envolvendo revisão, apreensão, análise, explicação e criação de literatura), tendo por referencial teórico cardeal o materialismo histórico, embora o mesmo não materialize um trabalho marxista strictu sensu. Anteriormente a apresentação pormenorizada deste corpus teórico, realizamos como preposto metodológico um processo de estado da arte sobre as dissertações e teses produzidas nos programas de pós-graduação credenciados pela CAPES em campos afins a ciência sociológica (Sociologia, Ciências Sociais, Antropologia e Ciência Política) entre os anos de 1990 e 2010, universo mister pelo qual os londrinos desenvolvem suas relações sobre a deficiência. Após a coleta destes dados constatamos empiricamente que pouco de efetivamente sociológico foi escrito sobre a deficiência. Na sociologia dos 5691 trabalhos catalogados apenas 10 (0,18%) versaram diretamente sobre a deficiência. Na antropologia, dos 1893 trabalhos produzidos apenas 5 (0,26%) tiveram a deficiência como objeto de estudo principal, o mesmo número encontrado na Ciência Política em um universo de 1211 teses e dissertações. Dos 20 trabalhos encontrados em um universo de 8.798, apenas dois fizeram esporádicas menções ao grupo londrino. Assim, a deficiência ainda parece vista essencialmente sob firmamentos médicos, um tema pré ou pouco sociológico, não digno de nota de ser representado como questão de pesquisa pelas ciências que se valem da análise do social. Nesse sentido, uma pergunta emerge: Como se elaborar políticas públicas emancipatórias para as pessoas com deficiência se o referencial do qual partem está inextricavelmente ligado a condição da deficiência como doença e dependência? Políticas e práticas libertárias carecem de conceitos e epistemologias também libertárias. Mas tais conceitos existem e na busca em se apropriar dos mesmos fizemos uma verdadeira varredura nos artigos publicados pela revista Disability & Society, mais importante periódico existente na análise sociológica da deficiência. De junho de 1986 a julho de 2011 a revista publicou 1.487 artigos, todos em língua inglesa, embora produzidos por autores de mais de 30 países. Destes, 383 foram lidos na íntegra, os quais nos permitiram compor as linhas deste trabalho, que tem como um de seus pressupostos fundantes a ideia de que a deficiência é produto da opressão social inserida por sobre as diferenças expressas pelo corpo de seus sujeitos, portanto, criada mediante a insensibilidade intrínseca do meio no qual estamos inseridos. A partir da análise da literatura indicada foram extraídos os eixos temáticos no que tange ao analisar as contribuições e limites desta abordagem social da deficiência e a necessidade imperiosa de apropriação de seus constructos. Conclui-se que por ser a deficiência uma categoria criada se mostra passível de superação, cujas condições objetivas estão dadas no interstício da própria sociedade capitalista, embora jamais efetivadas devido à própria composição estruturalmente excludente que caracteriza dito sistema. Ter todos os meios para se superar esta condição opressiva que envolve as pessoas com deficiência e não superá-la é um fenômeno que destaca cardealmente a cisão entre essência e existência, daí a necessidade candente em lutarmos contra estas alienações, as quais reduzem os seres humanos ao simples desejo do ter, ao papel de meros objetos, destarte, despossuídos ou podados bruscamente quanto à capacidade subjetiva de autodeterminação, da escolha do destino e dos caminhos elencados para esta acolhida. A citada luta apenas obterá sucesso pleno quando da coincidência entre a mudança das circunstâncias e a transformação das consciências, marca característica de qualquer ato efetivamente revolucionário. Revolução, por conseguinte, que nunca deixou de ser a transformação das estruturas econômicas, políticas e culturais coadunadas pela tomada de consciência das verdades e interditos do sistema que nos oprime. Apenas ao desvendar seus reais interesses podemos de fato propor sua superação. Justamente na intersecção destes elementos que o pensamento de Marx se coloca como a filosofia ainda insuperável de nosso tempo em função de sua propriedade crítica e emancipadora; da unidade dialética entre o estudo do capital e a convocação para sua derrubada, da análise da alienação e do fetichismo ao qual estamos envolvidos e a proposição de eliminação de todas as condições no seio das quais o homem é um ser diminuído, abandonado, mutilado, desprezado. É preciso trazer o marxismo ao campo analítico da deficiência, essa é nossa aposta e o universo com o qual o leitor se deparará a partir de agora.

Construções discursivas acerca da deficiência intelectual: entre concepções e implicações para políticas públicas / Discursive constructions about intelectual disability: between conceptions and implications for the public policiesMarília Costa Dias 29 May 2017 (has links)
Este estudo utiliza contribuições de diferentes campos do conhecimento, para compreender o universo de sentidos que determinam as práticas sociais em relação às pessoas que têm dificuldade nas habilidades intelectuais. O construcionismo social e a perspectiva ecológica foram as bases para discutir o constructo deficiência intelectual. A abordagem de gestão social nas políticas públicas foi utilizada para refletir em relação à administração pública numa óptica não hegemônica, em que o interesse público está em primeiro lugar e a dimensão social do desenvolvimento é parte integrante e essencial da atividade econômica. A investigação teve como objetos de estudo: 1) as construções discursivas acerca da deficiência intelectual; 2) os discursos sobre políticas públicas, para identificar tendências e implicações das formas de compreensão a respeito da deficiência intelectual. Do ponto de vista metodológico, a análise do discurso francesa foi a base do dispositivo analítico construído para analisar as formações discursivas. Foram selecionadas e analisadas quatro definições de deficiência e onze de deficiência intelectual. Nos discursos que definem o constructo deficiência, como categoria ampla, constatou-se que os sentidos estão associados ao modelo social que considera a deficiência como resultado de fatores relacionados às características da pessoa e do ambiente no qual está inserida. No entanto, em relação ao constructo deficiência intelectual, ainda há vários discursos que remetem às premissas do modelo médico, o qual considera a deficiência como um problema individual que exige capacidade de adaptação a situações e desafios da vida cotidiana. As significações atreladas ao modelo social se fazem presentes, mas não são prevalentes. Nas construções discursivas de nove policymakers, foram analisadas concepções com relação à deficiência intelectual; assim como elementos relacionados aos processos políticos de formulação de políticas públicas. Os resultados apontam vários sentidos associados ao modelo social da deficiência, o que revela uma tendência a se considerar o papel da sociedade e do Estado na construção de uma cultura inclusiva, em termos de serviços públicos. Porém há diferenças acentuadas na forma como esses sentidos se constroem e se articulam. Ao mesmo tempo em que há referência à Convenção Internacional dos Direitos das Pessoas com Deficiência, de 2006, que é um marco do modelo social, há também vários sentidos associados ao modelo médico/reabilitador. O fato de alguns sentidos serem incorporados não significa abandono imediato de outros sentidos conflitantes. Tal fato revela um processo de apropriação de discursos a respeito da deficiência, que ocorre de forma gradativa em direção ao modelo social. Nos discursos dos entrevistados, foram encontradas marcas dos discursos da funcionalidade, da diversidade, das capacidades, as quais revelam sentidos em construção e em disputa. Em relação às tendências em políticas públicas, foram mais recorrente sentidos relacionados à abordagem de direitos humanos. / This 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.

Preventing Poverty - Creating IdentityFürst, Josefin January 2008 (has links)
This paper has two aims. The first aim is to study and describe the manifest ideology of the EU's social policy. The second aim is to analyse to what extent the manifest ideology might be a part of building a common European identity - by finding common solutions to commonEuropean problems (problems, more or less constructed as common). The research is a critical ideology analysis, made up of a qualitative text analysis of EU social policy documents and National strategy reports (NSR). I ask two questions. Firstly, which are the main features in the manifest ideology of EU social policy as described in the texts? Secondly, what picture of a European identity is visible when reading the EU social policy texts and the National Strategy Reports? I have found five main features of the manifest ideology. These revolve around: how the world and change in the world are described according to the EU; the mutual interaction between the Lisbon objectives and greater social cohesion; the creating of social cohesion; the importance of how policies are constructed and implemented and the EU's self-image. The texts offer either two quite different pictures with regards to the question of a European identity or ones that is partly incoherent. The analysed EU policy texts put across a picture of a uniform Europe, suggest that there is something genuinely European and a common European identity. However, the picture obtained when reading the NSRs and the collected picture of the EU policy texts and the NSRs is much less coherent. The paper argues that the manifest ideology could be a part of building a European identity, but it does not manage to prove that it actually is.

Incapacity, disability and dismissal : the implications for South African labour jurisprudenceHoskins, Jonathan Mark January 2010 (has links)
Magister Legum - LLM / Disability 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. / South Africa

Diversity is best : A literary analysis of how Mark Haddon’s “The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time” may promote understanding and awareness towards the social construct of neurodiversity / Olika är bäst : En litterär analys av hur Mark Haddons "The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time” kan främja förståelse och medvetenhet om den sociala konstruktionen av neurodiversitet.Hollertz, Julia January 2019 (has links)
This essay investigates how the first person narrative of Mark Haddon’s neurodiverse protagonist in The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time raises awareness for the complexity of neurodiversity in relation to a neurotypical society. This has been done by applying the critical lens of Disability Studies and Disability Studies in Education to explain how disability is a concept of social and cultural construct. As the Swedish school has failed to provide neurodiverse students with the inclusive environment they need, the importance of fostering students who are accepting towards cognitive disabilities is greater than ever. This essay therefore argues that an inclusion of Haddon’s novel in the EFL classroom could be used to provide the students with understanding for neurodiversity as well as strategies that could help them to navigate in a socially demanding society.
