Write a 250 words Reflective Summary on “Facilitate the empowerment of people with
disability”. It will help you make a connection between what you are taught in theory and
what you need to practice.
Facilitate the empowerment of people with disability describes the skills and knowledge
required to deliver rights based services using a person-centred approach. It should be
carried out in conjunction with individualised plans. Facilitate the empowerment of people
with disability are
 Demonstrate commitment to empowerment for people with disability

 Foster human rights
 Facilitate choice and self-determination
Demonstrate commitment to empowerment for people with disability
Identify changes in the legal, political and social frameworks within which the work is undertaken
the ways in which Disabilities have been viewed socially, legally and politically have changed in some
fundamental ways in recent years. The Framework in which modern work in the field is
conducted is vastly different from it’s’ origins.
Your work in supporting people with disabilities can have a profound effect on their lives. One of the
most effective ways to do so is to develop specific approaches to facilitate the empowerment of
each person. By developing and adjusting your approaches to working with each person in a manner
that supports their empowerment, you have the opportunity to support people to meet and exceed
their goals and to be valued as respected members of the community.
Some of the approaches that you can use to facilitate people’s empowerment include the following
approaches are:
 Rights-based approaches
 Person-centred practice
 Self advocacy
 Active support

 Active listening
 Social justice and the importance of knowing and respecting each person as an individual
 Strengths based approaches
Foster human rights
As a support worker, you have the opportunity and responsibility to foster the basic human rights of
the people with disabilities you work with. When you fulfil this fundamental responsibility you
improve the lives of people with disabilities.
As a fundamental principle of providing quality care to people with disabilities, person- centeredness
underpins all aspects of service delivery. One of the ways that we keep the person at the centre of
service delivery is by ensuring that their rights are upheld and that their individual needs are the
basis of all the services we provide.
All your work activities need to uphold people’s rights. There are many strategies that you can
employ, including following your workplace’s policies and procedures. These are developed to
ensure best practice service delivery that upholds people’s rights. However, you can contribute to
safeguarding people’s rights and improve how they are upheld by ensuring that you work in an
individualised manner, where each person’s needs, choices and preferences are known, respected
and facilitated.
A fundamental respect for each person’s culture as an expression of their individual experience and
the richness of diversity underpins effective service provision. By actively ensuring that people’s
cultural needs are identified, accepted and upheld, you demonstrate respect, create rapport and
uphold people’s fundamental human rights. At times, upholding people’s cultural needs requires you
to adjust your work practices, drawing on your ability to innovate and create new approaches.
Facilitate choice and self-determination
As part of your commitment to fostering the human rights of people with disabilities, your work
practice will be based on facilitating people to make choices and to direct their own care. Self-
determination is a fundamental human right and your support and respect for people as the expert
in their own lives empowers people to make healthy, informed and positive choices.
A main contributing factor to many disabling conditions is a person’s genetic inheritance. We all
inherit information from our parents that is encoded in our genes – sometimes this information is
faulty; combined information from both parents creates faults; or a combination of genetic factors
and environmental factors (such as experiences and your physical environment) cause a gene to
switch on or off and express as a disabling condition.
Our identification of genetic factors of disease and disability is increasing rapidly, and the options for
treating on a genetic level are likely to widen in the future. Genetic factors do or may underlie many
disabling conditions, and may contribute to physical, intellectual, psychological and mental health
conditions.
In supporting people’s self-determination and choice, you need to be able to provide people with
options for action that are relevant to their specific needs. Additionally, you need to be able to
communicate these options appropriately according to each person’s needs. In many cases, you will
also be called upon to facilitate discussions and communication between the person and their family
and/or carers as a way to work together to provide person-centred, best- practice services.
Providing services for people with support needs is a collaborative endeavour where you, the
person, their family, carers, other service providers and health professionals work together as a
team. One of your main roles in this team is to facilitate discussions to provide people with person-
centred options to consider. Whether facilitating discussions between you and the person, or those
that include other members of the team, your ability to provide accurate, individualised information
and to communicate effectively supports people’s choice and self-determination. Facilitating
discussions about person-centred options for action involves the following elements are
 Identify relevant issues
 Gather relevant information
 Collaborate with relevant people
