Booklet - Michele Mtthews Collection - 2004 Sir John Quick Bendigo Lecture - "Integration, Quick Smart: Disability and Community", 04/02/2025
La Trobe University, Sir John Quick annual lectureMichele Matthews Collection - 2004 Sir John Quick Bendigo Lecture - "Integration, Quick Smart: Disability and Community". presented by Dr Rhonda Galbally at 5:45 PM on Thursday 2 September 2004 in the McKay Lecture Theatre, La Trobe University, Bendigo. Invitation, agenda and lecture notes provided. All our social systems tend to work on the basis of a "medical model" of disabilement, where problems are an individual matter based on the consequences of disease or trauma. The "social model", in contrast, sees disabilement not as a n attribute of the individual but a collection of conditions, many f them created by the social environment. A social justice model provides the opportunity to bring people with disabilities back from the margins and to integrate their needs on an equal footing. Our approach to disablement must be founded on the principles that: * everyone is equal * everyone is entitled to respect and personal autonomy * everyone is entitled to have his or her basic needs met. sir john quick annual lecture -
