A social worker works with parents and others caring for a child with a disability. Social workers will often see you on your own. This is so you can speak freely without your child. Sometimes, social workers organize group sessions for parents of children with disabilities to meet each other and share experiences. They may see you and your family at your house or in a children’s disability services centre. As a child gets older the focus of social work may include working directly with the children and young people themselves, both individually and through groups. A disability social worker is a type of healthcare social worker who helps people with physical and mental disabilities copes with the challenges in their daily lives. The problems they face depend on the type of impairment and the severity of their disability. The term “disability” refers to how individuals interact with their environment. Disability social workers assist people in comprehending their diagnosis, and they support them in making lifestyle adjustments to accommodate their disability. Disabled people often need help with transportation or with gaining access to buildings, and some find it difficult to communicate with devices with small screens like cell phones. Disability social workers also make sure their clients have safe and stable housing, and they may also help their clients find employment. Disability social workers can connect disabled individuals with the right support groups to help them manage their disability and live as independently as possible. A disability social worker sometimes works with physicians and other healthcare professionals to explain the effects of the client’s disability on that person’s emotional and mental health.
