The institutionalized service mode
The institutionalized service model is experienced in institutions like hospitals, nursing care, where people with disabilities are taken care of. Here there are trained professionals who give high standard care as they understand fully what the patient needs. They are trained on how to communicate with them, involve them in activities that make them feel engaged in the community, and offer therapy sessions. Under this service model, the patients are normally put together according to what they are su7ffering from, but others are isolated due to their condition. It allows for interaction and growth.
Under the person center model, the disabled are looked at as people first, not because of their capabilities or disabilities. The main focus is on what one can do best and what one can do to improve what they cannot do (Wells & Singer 1985). This model is effective as it ensures that the disabled can exhibit their own talent and skills and get appreciated for it. Historically the disabled were seen as a bad omen in the communities as they did not understand genetics back then. As a result, this led to activities like killing of the disabled or abandoning them.
Recent developments have helped the disabled because schools have been set up for people with disabilities. They also have been given chances in governments to lead others to fight for their rights and improve their talents.
