The pendulum of rights versus rehabilitation is an area in which policymakers invest much time and energy. Should government award monetary benefits? Should society focus on inclusion and rehabilitation? Perhaps there is a possibility to blend the two perspectives. In this Discussion, you examine with your colleagues your understanding of the disability rights perspective and the rehabilitative perspective. Which perspective do you feel is more appropriate for social workers to advocate for when working with persons who have a disability?
The ADA is broad, and social workers will encounter various populations to which this policy is applicable in social work practice. The ADA’s application will vary depending on the population in which a social worker might practice. Dialogue with your colleagues regarding a population that you might encounter with a disability and the application of the ADA.
