SamenvattingThis
research
is
about
providing
equal
access
to
welfare
and
community
organizations
in
Amsterdam.
Not
only
equal
access
for
people
with
and
without
disabilities,
but
also
for
people
with
different
disabilities.
For
this,
the
social
model
of
disability,
in
which
structural
solutions
are
preferred
over
individual
ones,
and
community
care,
in
which
care
in
and
by
the
community
is
considered
the
ideal,
will
be
assessed
on
their
applicability
for
people
with
different
kinds
of
disabilities.
The
nature
of
a
certain
disability
can
have
an
influence
on
the
degree
of
access
that
can
be
provided
and
guaranteed.
This
subject,
providing
equal
access
for
people
with
different
disabilities,
(e.g.
Physical,
sensory,
intellectual
disabilities
or
mental
health
problems),
was
discussed
in
8
group
interviews
with
in
total
43
staff
members
of
welfare
and
community
organizations.
They
discussed
whether
the
nature
of
a
disability
had
any
influence
on
their
willingness,
confidence
and
ability
to
provide
equal
access.
In
these
group
interviews,
three
central
themes
came
up
that
will
be
discussed.
First
of
all,
labeling
seems
to
be
an
important
theme.
How
does
the
staff
recognize
and
anticipate
certain
disabilities
and
how
do
they
use
a
‘disability’
label
once
it
is
recognized.
The
second
theme
that
comes
up
is
stigma.
In
this
part
will
be
discussed
how
the
staff
deals
with
stigmatizing
views
that
could
be
held
against
people
with
certain
kinds
of
disabilities,
both
personally
and
by
other
visitors.
Finally,
communication
and
support
was
an
important
theme.
Do
certain
aspects
(e.g.
insight,
acknowledgement,
social
skills)
of
a
disability
affect
the
way
in
which
the
visitors
with
a
disability
are
able
to
ask
for
help,
or
even
demand
structural
adjustments?
In
this
research
project
I
will
attempt
to
identify
the
characteristics
of
a
disability
that
complicate
providing
equal
access.
