INTRODUCTIONThe health and social care sector has changed a lot from previous days because of whichit has become necessary for each care provider to have a deep understanding and knowledge oftheir profession. This knowledge helps the care provider in understanding the requirements ofcare users in better way. There are great advancements in the technologies which have helped inproviding care to its users (World Health Organization, 2012). In the present report, case studywill be referred for further discussion in detailed manner so that changes that have come in thepresent day practices and legislations as compared to past time can be understood. Besides this,various approaches and interventions that are available in relation to specific needs will bestudied. TASK 11.1 Concept of health, disability, illness and behaviourA number of concepts are relating to health and social care services are prevalent. Theemployees who are giving service in health and social care setting are required to have acomplete and detailed knowledge of various concepts related to it (Kirmayer and et.al., 2011).This helps in performing their job in an accurate way. Any misconception and disbelief related toconcepts of disability, illness and behaviour can result into harm for various objectives related tohealth and social care.Health: As per various specialists in medical field, the health is a condition in which there is noexistence of any bad medical status or illness. It can also be defined as a state of completephysical and mental condition without any disease.Disability: As per the specialists, the disability can be defined as inability of a person eithermentally or physically due to which they are not able to interact or take active participation onequal basis in the society (Marziali, McCleary and Streiner, 2010). However, the disability in aperson cannot be undertaken as a health issue but it is a condition in which the balance betweenfeatures of body is not maintained. Illness: Illness is basically a physical and emotional condition in which every person have adifferent perception. It refers to the sickness in which various symptoms may be seen that can bedifferent for different persons. 1
Behaviour: The behaviour can be understood as a reaction which an individual gives in responseof his surrounding events. The above concepts reflect various conditions and status according to which the needs ofusers of health and social care varies (Reeves and et.al., 2011). If a person is ill, he will have adifferent need of physical caring, medications and rest. While a person who is disable, willrequire more of emotional caring than physical caring so that they can feel themselves as a partof society.1.2 Changes in perceptions about specific needsThe world is moving towards the development phase in a faster speed because of which anumber of traditional belief, assumptions and thinkings have also been replaced by new ones.This changed belief has also taken place in the field of health and social care. It is apparent thatthose persons who have by type of disability and have some specific needs are more assailable tobe deprived, harmed, exploited or abused in the society (Mattocks and et.al., 2014). Therefore, itbecomes necessary to understand their specific needs so that their conditions and needs can beaddressed on time, failing to which may have serious consequences for health and mentalcondition. Previously, the people with specific needs were not able to communicate effectivelyabout their needs due to inability in accessing proper channels. Because of this inaccessibility,they were unable to tell their various needs. But, in present time, the perceptions have beenchanged due to two reasons:Alteration in customs and trends Changes in philosophical beliefs. In present case, it is evident that Peter who is having condition of Cerebral Palsy whichhas resulted in his inability to use lower limbs and hearing takes active participation in localtheatre groups and also does swimming everyday (Edwards and et.al.,2010). This shows that dueto recent changes in perceptions of people for all individuals having specific needs, theircondition has improved a lot. Besides, this, they are now able to voice out their different needseffectively which are not ignored but addressed in an appropriate way. There are two sort ofmodels that are used in the medical line. These models are social and medical model. There isdifferent between both sorts of models. Social model is one under which disable person isconsidered as normal human being which need support from the relevant people in order to fightwith the disease from which it is suffered. 2
