“…The lack of intervention studies is not unexpected since earlier research identified difficulties in including ICT in education (11,27,77,78) and students' dissatisfaction with access to the computer-based ATDs affects the use of ICT in schools (30). Findings in the descriptive studies showed that ICT is not used in schools to the extent that was desirable from the students' perspective (62,71).…”

“…However, for students with disabilities, the literature appears to support the use of ICT as an assistive technology device (ATD), specifically designed to assist and enable an individual's participation, to a varying degree, in all occupational performance areas, but particularly in education, communication and play (10)(11)(12).…”

RESUMOOBJETIVO: Este autorrelato apresenta o caso de um médico e professor universitário, portador de esclerose lateral amiotrófica avançada, e sua experiência em ajustar as atividades ocupacionais por meio de tecnologias de comunicação, como professor de ensino à distância. Trata-se de uma comunicação pessoal escrita pelo próprio paciente/professor. DESCRIÇÃO DO CASO: A disciplina de Neurofisiologia do Curso de Medicina da Universidade Federal de Juiz de Fora dinamiza as aulas presenciais com discussões de casos clínicos à distância, via plataforma de ensino virtual. Surgiu a possibilidade do professor atuar como colaborador dessa disciplina, na qual pode aproveitar sua experiência enquanto médico e sua vivência como paciente vítima de doença neuromuscular nas discussões de casos com os estudantes. Através da educação à distância, esse médico e professor supera as limitações físicas impostas pela doença. Ele tem condições de aprofundar a discussão, evidenciando os aspectos biopsicossociais, relação médico-paciente e humanização nas doenças neurodegenerativas. CONCLUSÕES: A interação com os alunos, por meio do ensino à distância, desse professor de neurofisiologia acometido por esclerose lateral amiotrófica avançada, resultou em maior interesse, maior comprometimento com o atendimento aos pacientes e melhor desempenho dos estudantes na disciplina. Também melhorou a qualidade de vida e a satisfação autorrrelatadas pelo professor, ao superar suas limitações físicas e sociais e "sentir-se útil" novamente.DESCRITORES: esclerose lateral amiotrófica; doenças neuromusculares; readaptação ao emprego; tecnologia assistiva; reabilitação. ABSTRACTAIMS: This self-report presents the case of a physician and university professor affected by amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, and his experience in adjusting his occupational activities through communication technologies, as a distance education lecturer. It is a personal communication written by the reported patient/professor. CASE DESCRIPTION: The Neurophysiology Subject at the Federal University of the Juiz de Fora Medical School includes clinical case discussions at an online teaching platform. The reported patient has been collaborating as a lecturer of this discipline following the amyotrophic lateral sclerosis diagnosis. His professional experience as a physician and personal experience as a patient with a neuromuscular disease enriches the virtual clinical discussions. Through distance education, the lecturer overcome the physical limitations imposed by his underlying condition. He is able to deepen the discussion, highlighting psychosocial aspects, doctor-patient relationship, and humanization in neurodegenerative diseases. CONCLUSIONS: The interaction with the students, through distance learning, of this neurophysiology lecturer suffering with ad...

“…For example, assistive technology helped individuals aging with a disability to maintain valued activities and experiences (Kemp 1999), and computer technology aided disabled children in their education and play activities (Chantry and Dunford 2010). In addition, children with physical disabilities mentioned that assistive technology increased their self-confidence and productivity (Carpe et al 2010), and disabled people who used assistive technology in school were more likely to participate in post-secondary education (Bouck, Maeda, and Flanagan 2012).…”

Developing a model of disability that focuses on the actions of disabled people

Disabled people, writers on disability and disability activists stress the importance of disabled people being included in all aspects of society. I argue that a major omission from this inclusiveness is that no current model of disability focuses on the impact of the actions of disabled people on disability. Disabled people are not passive bystanders, powerless to reduce the restrictions of disability. On the contrary, we are central to actively limiting its constraints. I develop a model of disability, called 'active' , which focuses on the effects on disability of the individual and collective actions of disabled people. I describe published findings which indicate that engaging in self-help, using support groups and deploying assistive technology can all reduce the limitations of disability. Recent increases in the number of disability support groups and developments in assistive technology have substantially augmented the potential for disabled people to combat the effects of disability. Points of interest• This article develops the active model of disability, which focuses on the impact of the actions of disabled people on disability.• These actions encompass both individual activity (e.g. self-help) and collective activity (e.g. disability activism). • This model is timely, as the recent increase in the availability of self-help information and support groups has substantially boosted the potential for disabled people to limit the constraints of their own disabilities.• This article presents published findings that engaging in self-help, using support groups and deploying assistive technology have all reduced the effects of disability. • It examines the limited role of disabled people in current models of disability and compares the active model with other models. • Moreover, it argues that both the active and social models can motivate research that improves disabled people's lives (emancipatory research).• Finally, it contends that the understanding of the complexities of disability can be facilitated, by using multiple, complementary models.
