Darlene: Hi everyone! We are the group 3 and we are going to discuss all about Functional/ Rehabilitation model. But before we finally precede to our main topic for today let us recall first what is model of disability.
Coleen
What is model of disability?
It is a conceptual explanation of the process and underlying mechanism by which disease, injury or birth defect impacts a person's ability to function. This model refers to a system of definition and theories about human disabilities that are used to provide a framework for discussion or to explain disabilities in relation to clinical diagnosis, rehabilitation medicine, employment issue, public policymaking, and similar concerns.
What is Functional or rehabilitation model?
The functional or rehabilitation model is quite similar to the biomedical model in that it sees the PWD as having impairment or deficits. Disability is caused by physical, medical or cognitive deficits. The disability itself limits a person’s functioning or the ability to perform functional activities deficits then justify the need to undergo rehabilitative intervention like the therapies, counseling and the like in the aim of reintegrating that is able into society.
JOCELYN
This model of disability focuses on disability as deriving from an individual’s impairments or deficits. Where this model differs from the medical approach is that, while the source of the disability is individualistic and linked to medical, physiological, or cognitive impairments or deficits, the expression of disability is the inability to perform a number of functional activities.
Example for biomedical model is mental retardation which is a condition of arrested or incomplete development of the mind , which is especially characterized by impairment of skills manifested during the developmental period, which contribute to the overall level of intelligence such as cognitive, language, motor, and social abilities or condition.
Whilst, the logic of the functional approach is to focus program delivery on individuals who need services to function.
Like a cripple person, this belongs to the functional/ rehabilitation model. A cripple is a disability where in a person is unable to walk because of an injury or illness. The underlying presumption of the functional model is that, while acknowledging the condition or pathological source of the disability, the most important part of the disability is the disruption in functioning.
The functional model considers the expression of disability as something that can be treated much like a doctor treats a disease and it stresses the adoption of a treatment regimen, strategy, or service that improves functional capacity rather than addressing the underlying condition or impairment.
DARLENE
The main difference between biomedical and functional model is in the concept of habilitation and rehabilitation. The biomedical model suggests habitation, which refers to help given to those whose disabilities are congenital or manifested very early in life in order to maximize function. Habilitation refers to health care services that help a person acquire, keep or improve, partially or fully, and at different points in life, skills related to communication and activities of daily living. It focuses on learning new skills.
On the other hand, functional or rehabilitation model refers to the assistance given by professionals to those who have an acquired disability in the hope of gaining back one's functionality. Rehabilitation refers to health care services that help a person keep, restore or improve skills and functioning for daily living and skills related to communication that have been lost or impaired because a person was sick, injured or disabled. It focuses on regaining skills lost.
For example, when World War I happened, communities witnessed perfectly healthy people leave to serve the country only to come back disabled physically, neurologically, or mentally. It was then that people started to realize that not all disabilities are inborn.
Rehabilitation Model is based on the medical model and belief that with adequate effort on the part of the person, the disability can be overcome. Persons with disabilities are often perceived as having failed if they do not overcome the disability. Similar to the medical model, the rehabilitation model suggests that care and support are determined by professionals.
NATHASIA
The rehabilitation model regards the person with a disability as in need of services from a rehabilitation professional who can provide training, therapy, counseling, or other services to make up for the deficiency caused by the disability. Persons with disabilities have been very critical of both the medical model and the rehabilitation model. While medical intervention can be required by the individual, at times it is naive and simplistic to regard the medical system as the appropriate focus for disability related policy matters.
HERE ARE THE FOUR TYPES OF REHABILITATION:
Medical rehabilitation help a person better in all his daily physical and mental activities related to increasing the potential capabilities and correction of deformities restoration of functions.
Social rehabilitation implies social life restoration of family social interactions or relationship.
Psychological rehabilitation includes psychological restoration of personal dignity and confidence of disabled.
Vocational rehabilitation helps those patients who find difficulty to get employment.
