Task Two: Analysing the historical response to disability and/or aging in a local context

My response will demonstrate that I have an understanding of the historical responses toward the disabled people group.

2.1

a) Identify whether a regional or a national situation is being discussed

1800s: From the 19th century, the policies were aimed at stem the people who living with disability from settling to New Zealand to reduce the financial cost of the government. And the financial and economic support to the disabled people that living in New Zealand was given by the charitable organizations but not the property taxpayer. Then special institutions and schools were built to the disabled person during that time, the disabled education department as well. The policy and service toward disability has changed over the past 100 years in New Zealand. For the majority part of this changing, it is the change of attitudes overseas, in a similar way to other social policy changes.

1900s: For almost time of the 20th century, disabilities were regarded as inherent problems which carried by individuals. It was thought as a disease which could be cured or contained. The government and the wider society took method like proving a service of the institutions to meet their special needs. But the ‘human’ needs of many individuals were unmet. From the 1900 onwards, the act and the legislation were completed by the government towards the people who has the mental disease or blind or deaf. From the 1970th, the government’s approach to services for disabled people became more community and rights based. At the meantime, the desire of the disabled who need to be employed as normal person was recognized.

2000s: From 2000 onwards, the New Zealand government developed the Disability Strategy. In 2002 the Office for Disability Issues was set up. Reviewing of long-term disability support services for the disabled was begun in 2004.

b) Incorporate strategies:

1800s: From 1854, institutions were established for people who living with experience of mental illness. Institutions offering the supports for orphans, unmarried mothers and destitute elderly people began to be set up from the 1860s. The first school for deaf children in New Zealand opened in 1880 many disabled people ended up in the place as well. The Lunatics Ordinance 1846 provided for the safe custody and prevention of offences by persons dangerously insane, and for the care and maintenance of persons of unsound mind, it was apparent from the data that disability services were provided to a wide range of service users, in terms of age, ethnicity and other criteria. An estimated 3900 adults with disability used easy-to-get-at driveways or passenger drop-off

or pick-up areas outside their house. An estimated 3800 used automatic or easy-to-open doors, while 1800 used elevators or lift devices.

1900s: Spirit of nonconforming Act 1911 unsound mind the distinction between the human spirit frail, idiot, retarded child, the weak attitude epilepsy patients until 1916, the New Zealand Government to determine who is deaf and dumb, blindperson, lunatic, idiot, epilepsy, paralysis, lame, and / or deformation mechanisms, to identify defects in the child. "low-energy" children committee to investigate students' mental nonconforming and sex offenders 1924-1925 expressed concern.our goal is to increase the element of spirit, moral, national and physical pension legislation allows the blind in 1924 for medical rehabilitation of ex-servicemen after World War I, and further development through the establishment of disabilityservicemen League, after the end of World War II. services users and customers available to civilians 1954.The CCPS database provides information said it does not have a unique line of data for each service in the age of the people born in the same year.just summative assessment information and details for all those who have the same birth year. obviously, some data entry errors age field that contains the date of birth of the 39 service users reported before 1900.

2000s: In 2000/2001, the government developed the New Zealand Disability Strategy. The Strategy was based on the social model of disability, which makes a distinction between impairments and disability. In 2002 the Office for Disability Issues was set up. Its purpose is to provide a focus on disability across government and to lead the implementation and monitoring of the New Zealand Disability Strategy.

c) Incorporate policies:

1800s: Relative polices were made like the Immigration Restriction Act 1899 included in its list of prohibited immigrants any idiot or insane person, as well as those suffering from contagious diseases.

1900s: Services are civilians from 1954. Disabled sheltered employment opportunities for people with disabilities Employment Promotion Law "began in 1960 which created a distinction between a sheltered employment and employment in the open labor market, especially in the 1950s and 1960s, IHC the establishment of day care centers, occupational groups and homes at the same time, it is the pursuit of more rights-based approach, seeking appropriate educational facilities for their children from the 1970s, the government service for disabled persons to become more community-based and rights. Following the 1972 Royal Commission of Inquiry Psychopaedic hospitals, more and more government funds be directed to the construction of the facilities of the residential area, rather than large institutions. later, Disabled social welfare Act 1975 to the person with a disability, who has no ACC claimants access services to help them stay in the community. And 1980th in this initiative from the institutionalized accommodation for people with disabilities to continue.

2000s: In 2002 the Office for Disability Issues was set up. Its purpose is to provide a focus on disability across government and to lead the implementation and monitoring of the New Zealand Disability Strategy.

d) Incorporate funding:

1800s: Later in 1800th, the government disability strategy is to deduce the financial aid towards the disabled. Any financial support was usually small and temporary, and was given by charitable organizations, not the taxpayer.

1900s: During the 1980th government support for community-based services increased. This was reinforced by an amendment to the Education Act enabling the mainstreaming of disabled children into a ‘normal’ school environment. Through the 1990s, more concerns were expressed about the limitations of the government provision for reducing social barriers experienced by disabled people. Government funding for support services for disabled people moved from the welfare agency to health agencies.

2000s: In 2004, the New Zealand Sign Language Bill was introduced into Parliament. This Bill proposed recognizing New Zealand Sign Language as the third, official language in New Zealand. Thus, New Zealand has taken a leading role at the United Nations in the development of a convention making explicit the rights of disabled people.

2.2

a) Define terminology: Using the offensive language like "the blind, mental patient, wheelchair-bond".

b) Identify attitudes: When living in the society we should avoid using the offensive language like "the blind, mental patient, wheelchair-bond", instead, we should use "people with visual impairments, person with a mental health condition. We shouldn’t use the language like "suffers from, victim of" but use "has". But the prejudice and the stereotypes of the normal people towards the disabled still exist in our society.

c) Distinguish stereotypes, and explain barriers

The prejudice and the stereotypes of the normal people towards the disabled still exist in our society. And this is a barrier for the disabled people perusing their lives and rights like normal persons both physically and economically. It seems that the disabled person live in a different world that normal people will never understand and entry. But the current situation should be optimistic since all the New Zealanders are making efforts sharing a fair society and the resources together as well as the government. Since from 2004, a long term disability support services was began.

Attitudes have been identified, through consultation, as the major barrier that operates at all levels of daily life in the general population. Attitudes and ignorance make their presence felt as stigma, prejudice and discrimination. In the year to June 1999, disability discrimination was the largest category of complaints to the Human Rights Commission.

2.3

a) Service provision:

• Students and their families at the center of the practice and the needs of individuals and families is reflected in the development of interventions.

A series of environmental and ecological assessment and evaluation tools are used to identify areas of need, and measure the results.

• There is a focus on quality of life issues and the development of practical skills.

• treatment and interventions across one day in the natural environment.

Agencies, groups and individuals from different disciplines, students in teamwork and the support of their families. Cooperation must be addressed in order to avoid overlapping of communication, continuity and transition, to reduce the pressure on the family, as well as customer-centric and culture-sensitive.

Is a measure of the change in the method, based on the results of the two sides agreed 

b) Access frameworks

The Ministerial Committee on Disability Issues is the coordination mechanism within government for implementation. The Office for Disability Issues is the government focal point on disability (the function it has performed since it was established in 2002 under the New Zealand Disability Strategy). Independence in promoting, protecting and monitoring implementation will be achieved through the action of:

the Human Rights Commission

the Office of the Ombudsman

the Convention Coalition, a grouping of disabled people's organisations monitoring rights of disabled people.

In May 2010,the New Zealand government announcement funding from Budget 2010 for these participants. On 13 October of 2011, the Minister for Disability Issues was published by the government that there is a notice in the New Zealand Gazetteformally recognising this independment monitoring arrangment as designated by Cabinet.
