Answer to Question 1

Social workers come in contact with people with a disability in two general ways. They are as follows:
First, they encounter them in settings in which the primary service focus is something other than rehabilitation. For example, workers at family counseling agencies usually see families with marital and interpersonal problems. One or more of these family members may have a disability. The disability may be unrelated to the family problems, or it may be an important contributing factor. In the latter case, the social worker's role is to help the family assess and understand the nature and impact of the disability and then develop effective strategies for handling the difficulties associated with the disability.

Second, social workers may be employed in settings that primarily serve people with a disability, such as rehabilitation centers, nursing homes, general hospitals, day-care centers for people with a disability, rehabilitation hospitals, and specialized schools (such as schools for people with a visual disability).
