<p dir="ltr">Below you will find excerpts from <a href="https://rdsjournal.org/index.php/journal/article/view/108" target="_blank">The Need for Culturally Appropriate Strategies in Promoting Self-Determination Among Individuals with Disabilities</a> by Patricia Welch. Her writing from a public health/social work perspective discusses how self-determination and empowerment can be promoted for diverse people with disabilities through culturally tailored practices. She describes the examples of access to culturally diverse resources and community-based rehabilitation, which involves promoting and supporting group action by families, communities, and people with disabilities themselves.<br /><br />Excerpts:<br /><br />“Self-determination is considered a combination of skills, knowledge, and beliefs that enable a person to engage in goal-directed, self-regulated, autonomous behavior. An understanding of one's strengths and limitations together with a belief in oneself as capable and effective are essential to self-determination. When acting on the basis of these skills and attitudes, individuals have greater ability to take control of their lives and assume the role of successful adults in our society” (Field, Martin, Miller, Ward, & Wehmeyer, 1998, p. 2).<br /><br />“Although access to resources is an important element for meeting the needs of individuals with disabilities, access to “valued resources” is a crucial component for empowerment. Lord & Hutchison (1993) describe this distinction:<br /><br /> “When they experienced powerlessness, most of the participants had access only to resources which they perceived as being different or specifically for “rehabilitation” or “welfare.” Beginning to have access to the same valued resources and opportunities as other community members was important for people’s empowerment process” (p.14).”<br /><br />“While most world cultures appear to recognize that the environment creates disabling conditions, many individuals experience “powerlessness” and, consequently, do not think change is possible. As indicated in this quote:“[Some persons] ... have so internalized the general negative attitudes towards them because of their disabilities that they cannot believe that collective action can improve their lives. They have seen the problems as inherent in their medical conditions and have not been urged to join others to demand structural changes that would render the environment useful for them”(Asch, 1986, p.13).”</p>
