Objectives
We can motivate why we included this course unit in the study program. In this course we will focus on the shifts in care and support of people in vulnerable living situations. The concept of ‘Quality of Life’ is presented as an intersectoral framework, across target groups in the daily support of people in vulnerable living situations. More and more attention is given to active involvement of the client and his/her network with their needs, wishes and supports as starting point. These evolutions are influenced by the the socio-ecological model of health, inclusive citizenship as outcome measure and a focus on human rights in the care and support of people in vulnerable living situations. In this course students get insight in the history of the concept Quality of Life, the different models of Quality of Life and the support paradigm as a way to implement Quality of Life in daily practice. Attention is given to the implications of implementing this Quality of Life framework for professionals working in the orthopedagogical field.The course unit supports a potential integration of the treated content into professional activities either during an internship or in the field in the future.
