disabled service user
Assignment 1 How would you develop and maintain a professional relationship with a disabled Service user? This assignment will demonstrate how to develop and maintain a positive professional relationship with a disabled service user. The key stages of the Care Management process will be looked at, with a view from the service users' perspective taking into account issues of inequality and oppression. Disability is any restriction or lack of ability to perform an activity, as a result of impairment, in a manner or within the range considered normal for a human being for example to climb stairs (French 1994) There is variety of ways in which we communicate with disabled service users. Body language, that being our posture, facial expression, eye contact and proximity are non-verbal communicators. Whereas the words and the way we speak are also crucial, such as tone of voice, delivery is all paralinguistic. In order to create an atmosphere of non-possessive warmth, all three communications, verbal, non-verbal and body language all need to be in agreement. Seeing the person and not the disability is crucial. Communication with disabled people should be undiscriminating, not humiliating and non oppressive. To try to prevent oppression social workers can, by acting as advocates, empower the powerless by explaining their rights and the ways in which they can be helped to
Disabled By Wilfred Owen
Disabled By Wilfred Owen In my essay,"Disabled" by Wilfred Owen. I am going to describe how successfully he uses poetic techniques to present the true effects of war in his poem. The main technique used in the poem is contrast, as well as other techniques. Which makes the fate of the young man more pitiful. The use of irony, word choice, and powerful images, all create the sense of atmosphere in each stanza. The contrast of mood and tone is used in the first and second stanza, which creates a change of mood. In the first stanza words like "ghastly" and phrases like, "saddening like a hymn", are used by Owen to create a dull and depressing mood. Which represents the mans present life in which he is stuck in. Then in the second stanza words like "gay" are used to create a mood that is very happy and joyful. Which represented the mans past life, before the injury. Contrast is also related to the irony in the poem. Firstly, before his injury all the girls loved him and were fighting to get their hands on him. One of the main reasons he went to war was to "please his Meg". But after returning with his injury girls no longer seemed interested. "Now he will never feel again how slim girls waists are, or how warm their subtle hands, all of them touch him like some queer disease." Secondly, irony is used in the second stanza. Before he went to war he "liked a blood smear down his
Communication with Disabled Service Users
Communication with Disabled Service Users This essay will focus on what factors need to be taken into consideration to ensure positive and effective communication with disabled service users. Communication allows people to share ideas, feeling and opinions. Communication can be broken into two parts verbal and non verbal. Verbal communication uses language and non-verbal communication uses gestures; both forms of communication are essential for disabled service users depending on what form of disability the service user has. Etiquette considered appropriate when interacting with people with disabilities is based primarily on respect and courtesy for example for someone who is deaf and hard of hearing, you would need to gain the person's attention before starting a conversation, this involves looking directly at the individual, facing the light, speaking clearly, in a normal tone of voice, and keeping your hands away from your face. If the individual uses a sign language interpreter, it is important to speak directly to the person, not the interpreter, and to be expressive by using hand movements to explain what you want to get across to them. Voice should be used loudly, without shouting; there should be a use of an everyday tone of voice. The service user should be looked at directly; eye contact should be made so that they can read your lips, or use touch.
Discussing Disabled by Wilfred Owen.
'Disabled' by Wilfred Owen Sophie Thompson Wilfred Owen (1893 - 1918) was caught in a shell blast in 1917 and was sent back to England with shell shock. His poem 'Disabled' was written during his four-month stay at Craiglockhart Hospital in 1917. The poem sends its readers on a journey into the life of a World War One soldier after he has returned home from the war. The poem eloquently depicts the disassociation and detachment from self and society by his soldier who has become disabled. The first stanza sets a very sad and sombre tone as the disabled man is reflecting on his waste of life. The opening phrase 'He sat in a wheeled chair, waiting for dark,' is a very stark and arresting opening as we immediately gain knowledge that the man is in a wheel chair, the reader visualizes a physically disabled man using a wheel chair. The man is introduced as 'waiting for dark,' it can be implied that 'dark' is a symbolic representation of impending doom or death and having a meaning of pessimism. It gives the reader the impression this boy has been separated from society so much so that all he has to look forward to is death. The following phrase 'And shivered in his ghastly suit of grey' we see how the 'grey' 'legless' suit symbolises his bland and dull life and now a complete contrast to the colourful life he once lead. In the phrase 'Through the park, Voices of boys rang
Disabled by Wilfred Owen
Disabled by Wilfred Owen "Disabled" is a poem about the effects of war on a person and what it can do mentally and physically. It is also about how friends, or anybody, can affect your decisions and try to make you do things you wouldn't normally. It is also stating that war is not good and that it doesn't help anyone. The poem starts "He sat in a wheeled chair, waiting for dark, and shivered in his ghastly suit of grey"; this sort of language already puts a thought of depression in our minds because of the shivering, and the "ghastly suit of grey". Shivering is usually a sign of coldness or disease, and a "ghastly suit of grey" is dull, and forgotten. It is about a man who has come home from war with lots of injuries, no legs, and a missing arm. He listens to other people having fun, and he wants to join them, yet he can't because nobody will come close to him because of how he is. He thinks about how he used to have fun before he went to war. He used to think injuries would make him cool, like having an enormous gouge in his leg after a football match. He went out with his friends to celebrate winning the game and someone said he should join the army. He thought about it, while partially inebriated, and he decided to join up because he thought he would impress people by being "Mr. War Hero". He didn't think about what could happen to him or what he could do to himself.
Disabled use of ICT
Disabled use of ICT ICT has proven an essential part of our modern society, and now disabled people are becoming more independent and being fully enabled citizens in the modern information society due to ICT. I will be writing about John Patel who has the unfortunate condition of having to use wheelchair due to the spinal injury paraplegia, other wheelchair conditions could be amputation of both legs, acute multiple sclerosis (MS), cerebral palsy and chronic arthritic condition being just a few of the more common reasons. Professional use of ICT John Patel has not neglected his life due to his condition, but has tried his best to live like a normal person; with the realisation of twenty-first century ICT enabling him to do so. Mr Patel is a very successful newspaper editor for the paper Eastend Guardian, and has been given the privilege to work at home. As the use of a wheelchair is not sufficient for distant travelling Mr Patel use a carchair to mobilize, which is an upright fully functional wheelchair to comfortable and safe car seat, without the need to transfer the user or remove the wheels and chassis. For Mr Patel a trip to the local library can be very difficult as he might not have some information he would have at the workplace. Now, books, newspapers, magazines, films, music and software can be accessed using the internet without him having to leave his home. The
Compare "Mental Cases" and "Disabled"
Mental Cases Both "Mental Cases" and "Disabled" are anti-war poems evoking vivid and sometimes shocking emotions. Owen shows a less pleasant side to "The Great War" in his typical fashion. "Disabled" paints a vivid picture of a young man's misfortune and shows the contrast between his old life - full of hope - and his new life, in which he has no hope. "Mental Cases", on the other hand, outlines the mental effects of the war, with strikingly vivid images. ~ "Disabled" begins with a description of a man in a wheel-chair. He is described as wearing a "ghastly suit of grey" which is "Legless, sewn short at the elbow". This bluntly makes apparent the fact that this man has lost his legs and parts of his arms. He hears the "Voices of play and pleasure" but he is far removed from them. He has no pleasure, now. On lines 11 and 12 Owen describes how the man used to experience girls - "how slim // Girl's waists are or how warm their subtle hands". That was, however, "before he threw away his knees." This is another blunt remark - a little detached and objective but straight to the point. Now, girls "touch him like some queer disease." He is now no longer an attractive young man but he seems almost like a repulsive old man. While last year he appeared "younger than his youth", "Now he is old". The irony in him now being the disgust of girls now is that he actually went to war to
Barriers Affecting Disabled People in Sport
Barriers for Disabled People in Sport People with disabilities have much to offer the world of sport. As well as the top disabled sportspeople, there are many ordinary disabled people who can and do benefit from sport. Sport allows everybody to stay healthy and to meet people. However, people with disabilities do face serious obstacles to participation in sport. Society continues to discriminate against, handicap and impose barriers on disabled people. Also it is interesting to know that as much as three quarters of disabled adults rely on state benefits as their main source of income they are also financially disadvantaged, which multiples barriers to participation. The 'disabled' are not all the same, but a mixture of people with a range of disabilities including deafness, sight impairment, amputation, paraplegia, cerebral palsy and learning difficulties. Elite athletes with a disability competed for the first time for medals in the Commonwealth Games in 2002, but much more still needs to be done if disabled people are to enjoy the same sporting opportunities as the rest of the population. A survey taken out by Sport England in the same year reveals that people with disabilities must overcome significant problems if they are to enjoy anything like the same access to sporting activity s the non-disabled population. Amongst the results, Sport England discovered that just
Comparing Disabled and Does It Matter?
Comparing Disabled and Does It Matter? The First World War had produced many war poets from a wide range of backgrounds, a wide range of perspectives. War, through their very own experiences, was their common subject though their voices continue to speak out entirely individually through their war poetry. The most well-known of these include Wilfred Owen and Siegfried Sassoon, two war poets with differing styles, united in their negative attitudes towards the war and their aims to portray its true horror. In the broad selection of poetry by Owen and Sassoon, there are certain poems which explore a similar theme in different ways; Owen's "Disabled" and Sassoon's "Does It Matter?" both try to portray the disabilities suffered by soldiers because of the war. In these two poems, each of the poet's distinctive style is evident, and while Owen offers a precise picture of tragedy which appeals to the reader's sympathy, Sassoon takes on a sarcastic approach, choosing instead to slice into the reader's conscience with cutting questions. The poem "Disabled" has a reflective and sad tone, and Owen tells the tragedy of a young man losing his limbs in the war to represent the many war veterans suffering a similar situation. Written in third person point of view, it has six stanzas with lengths varying from three to sixteen lines in a verse, with no real rhythm or overall rhyming pattern.

How does Tennessee Williams portray the three main characters in the first three scenes of The Glass Menagerie? In this essay will be looking at the way Tennessee Williams demonstrates the main character Amanda, Tom and Laura over the introductory scenes. I will look at the language he uses in the stage directions and I will also look at the characters language and movements. In addition, looking deeper into the characters and really understanding them will be important to gain a thorough perceptive of each person. Originally I glanced at the production notes and came across the 'The Characters' page that provides initial ideas and thoughts towards the individuals. This short page informs us about Amanda and gives us the impression that she lives in the past and is a small, confused lady. It tells us "there is much to admire about Amanda, and as much to love and pity as there is to laugh at'. This tells us that there is a lot of emotion built around her and we also grasp that she can be quite foolish and cruel. Laura is next to be described and this is the first time we are advised that Laura is 'crippled'. We get an understanding of Laura's characteristics from this brief collection of lines. She is portrayed to be very different from her mother, as she does live in reality. "Laura's separation increases till she is like a piece of her own glass collection, too
