Title: Belief systems and disability services
Author/Creator: Dempsey, Ian
Description: After reading this chapter and completing the activities you should be able to: 1. understand the relationship between principles, legislation and policy, and practice in disability services 2. demonstrate an awareness of the important beliefs and principles that influence how we support people with a disability 3. recognise that these beliefs and principles are subject to change as a consequence of community and professional attitudes, of the voice of people with a disability, and of the effectiveness of our systems of support 4. understand that it is through a combination of appropriate attitudes and beliefs by support staff and the use of evidence-based practices that we may make a positive difference in the lives of people with a disability and their families.
