Lesson 9: Reflection

The purpose of this chapter is to define and explain disability, to define and differentiate disability
models, and to describe the terms used to describe handicapped individuals. All of these problems
are discussed in this subject's Chapter 9, which deals with handicapped workers in the workplace.As
a result, being a handicapped worker might indicate that the individual in question is not like the rest
of the population. Despite the progress made by the governments of most countries, prejudice still
remains.Many states, on the other hand, have adopted criteria under which they intend to give better
care to handicapped personnel and provide them with possibilities for UN membership. The chapter
opens by defining the term disability, drawing on a number of sources, including dictionaries, to allow
readers to compare and contrast the various terms.Others are best suited to the phrase "impaired
person," which is what this part includes.

In this chapter, I learnt about the many terms used to describe disabled employees, such as
handicapped, disabled workers, individuals with disabilities, and differently-abled people.Furthermore,
the World Health Organization's (2002) International definition of living, disease, and health (ICF)
defines disability as having three levels: disability, which refers to a concern with a body system, such
as mechanisms relating to movement, and body or body part functioning, such as neuromuscular or
skin activity; disability, which refers to a concern with a body system, such as mechanisms relating to
movement; and disability, which refers to a concern with a body system, such as mechanisms relating
These limits are defined as problems that a person may have when doing tasks. There are also
engagement restrictions, which include problems that a person may face when participating in real
situations. In this chapter, I also learnt about the many sorts of disability models, such as the
institutional, medical, and rights models of disability.

This chapter piqued my interest since it said that even the handicapped would suddenly be able to
work. According to this section, reassigning a worker with a handicap to a light task may be required
as a reasonable accommodation, depending on how an employer's light duty policy is organized. The
employee may undertake the light duty if he or she is unable to fulfill his or her handicap with or
without a reasonable accommodation.
