Description
This integrated assignment encompasses two key components. Firstly, students will independently select and explore a specific cultural aspect (e.g., ethnicity, language, religion) to analyze its impact on individuals with disabilities. The resulting Cultural Impacts Paper will delve into historical context, cultural norms, and the nuanced intersection of culture and disability, aiming to deepen the understanding of diverse experiences within the disability community. Building upon these insights, students will subsequently develop an individual Assessment and Intervention Proposal for a hypothetical case study involving an individual with a disability. Drawing on theoretical frameworks from the course, this proposal demands a comprehensive understanding of how cultural, social, and clinical factors intricately influence the design of effective interventions. Through this integrated assignment, students will bridge theoretical knowledge with practical applications in the realm of disability studies. Please note part two for MSWs does NOT need to be completed.

Cultural Impacts and Assessment & Intervention Proposal
Purpose
This integrated assignment fosters a holistic understanding of disability studies by combining theoretical knowledge with
practical applications. Students will embark on a two-part exploration, beginning with an independent investigation into the
cultural impacts on individuals with disabilities. The resulting Cultural Impacts Paper aims to illuminate the historical context,
cultural norms, and the nuanced intersection of culture and disability. MSW students will build upon these insights to craft an
individual Assessment and Intervention Proposal for a hypothetical case study. This integrated approach encourages students
to bridge the gap between theoretical understanding and practical application in disability studies.
