TASK 1
Q1. Concept of health models and definitions, disability, illness and behaviour
Concept refers to basic understanding about some specific topic. Concept of health refers
to physical and mental fitness of individual. This makes them capable to perform their routine
work in better and appropriate manner. If individual is not physically and mentally fit, then
covers under the concept of illness. Illness means when individual' s body is not able to
understand what has to be done. In case of illness individual is not able to perform actions with
their full efficiency. Behaviour is the nature of individual which they perform in front of others.
Disability is lack of consciousness among individuals due to which they are not physically and
mentally unfit.
Primary standards of disability is the aspects which includes improper working of
individual due to mental disorder. This is the reason which affects working style of individual
such as improper learning, artificial intelligence, vocabulary, etc. This affects mental growth of
candidate due to which they are different from other individuals (Slavin and Schoech, 2017).
Secondary standards of disability are man made because of personal working style of
individuals. There are different reasons of secondary issues such as intake of excessive alcoholic,
1

drugs, etc. this affects mind and physical activities of individual in negative manner for some
specific period.
There are two models through which understanding about need for specific individual can
be identified such as medical and social model. Medical model refers to disability in which
individuals are disable due to their misbehave whose result is physical impairment, physical
injury. This impairment is shown to other people and individuals is not able to work properly and
they are different from others.
Social model talks about different disability which arise because of society. When people
compare individual with others then they are not responsible for understanding changes in better
and effective manner (Sime, 2014). If social barriers are removed, then individuals are able to
perform their task own and get positive because they have confidence that society have belief in
them and they have to prove it.
Q2. Perception of specific needs
With change in time, demand of consumers are increasing. In current market, there is
difference in demand of patient in context of their issues. These days, there are different issues to
consumers, some people are suffering from multi disorder so they have difference in their
demand. Hence as compared to older market trend, there is difference in perception of consumers
as well. There is some expectation of consumers regarding which they have to work for
providing different aspects. Perception of people are as under-
In 16th century, there is negative view regarding handicapped and disable people, so there
is negativity in environment due to which they are not able to get better opportunities in society.
They are treated aloof in society and this affects their growth and development. In 19th century,
disable people or individuals requires specific needs does not equal opportunities but with some
social movements, they get more options through which they can improve their working style
(Maller, 2015). In 21th century, people have positive review regarding disable people because
their impairment is natural or due to some accidents. In order to provide overall growth and
development of society, there is requirement of motivation and more opportunities to them. This
makes them providing positive response from friends, parents and family and they get proper
opportunities for show their ability and skills after learning.
