INCLUSIVE PRACTICE FOR NURSINGThis report focuses on two groups to show an understanding of the difficulties faced by the people from misunderstood and marginalised group in participating equitably in the Australian community/Group1. Wheelchair UsersPhysical disability can be a limitation on an individual’s functioning, mobility and dexteritythus rendering a person to move in a wheelchair (Bray et al., 2014). Examples of physical disabilities include cerebral palsy, hemiplegia, arthritis and quadriplegia to mention just a few. Statistics show that over 2.5 million Australians have a physical disability of some kind, transgender, vision impaired or Down syndrome. However, of those 2.5 million with disability 85% had a certain restriction or limitation. That is an impairment restricting their mobility, communication or a restriction associated with employment or schoolinga) The Effect of Stigma on Health of Wheelchair UsersThere is a huge stigma about being in a wheel chair since not everyone will treat you as an equal. In this point of view, stigma can reflect to the low social value that society assigns to the wheel chair users which can be prolonged into a person’s presentation as an expert in health as well as social welfare services (Ellis , 2016). Explicit in this write up is the stereotypingrepresentation associated with physically impaired individuals as a social group that is wheel chair users who are dependent on others for their upkeep, charity for their well being and by implication they are socially inept. According to Goodyear et al., (2015) a vast number of social interactions of wheel chair users are without a doubt tainted by the effect of stereotyping imagery. However, communication with new people cannot be fresh or barrier free since they (people) draw on their visual sense first and takes the cue from there. The people make quick judgements since they’re privy to visual information about the person in a wheelchair which theyfeel at liberty to discuss. The opening to a conversation can pose a question like, how long have2

Although some people are interested in knowing the reason behind moving in a wheelchair, it may also pose a serious problem in new friends since the agenda for the conversation is not always genuine (Bauer et al., 2015). However, when an illness is seen as an infection or perceived as a mark of shame or dishonour, people with such condition especially those in a wheelchair can be rejected by the healthy population. Another fear that can erupt for non-disabled individuals is the uncertainty regarding how to behave as well as communicate with wheelchair users (Harbison, 2015).b) Social Inclusion and Human RightEveryone as the responsibility and power to make society inclusive for all people including thosewith disabilities. To achieve this, some things need to be considered, and they include;Create employment opportunities for people with disability; according to research, less than one in every five people on a wheelchair is employed. The research also states that wheelchair workers earn about $9, 500 less a year compared to non-disabled employees. According to Divan et al., (2016) the disability community is also discriminating against at work from being refused to work or denied the final interview. When it comes to this, workers need to see an individual, including disability as an assent and not a potential liability. Increasing disability representation in the political setup; this can be achieved by electing or increasing the number of disabled people in the political seats. Through this, they willact as spokespersons or representatives of those disabled and are oppressed in the society. They will also create opportunities for them and provide means of inclusion in the society (Herbison , 2015).c) Policies That Promote Inclusion in the Community Especially For the Australian Community3
