I am interested in disability social work, especially developmental disability social work. Can anyone share the developmental disability social workers’ responsibility?

Welcome.

Thank you for the information.

Developmental disabilities are physical or mental impairments or a combination of both. People with developmental disabilities have substantial limitations in three life activity areas: mobility, self-care, language, learning, self-direction, independent living, and economic self-sufficiency. Developmental disability social workers help identify individuals who have developmental disabilities such as Down Syndrome, epilepsy, cerebral palsy, and other conditions, and they assist them in managing their day-to-day activities. Also, developmental disability social workers assess their client's strengths and needs to determine what support systems are required to help them achieve their goals. When the assessment is complete, the social worker creates an individualized plan to support the disabled person and improve his well-being. To secure the best programs to help the client, the disability social worker researches community resources like governmental programs.
