Psychologists as Advocates
Psychology has advocated for these individuals by creating a way to work and enhance their daily lives. Psychologists and therapists work in clinics and as behaviorists to create plans and supports with the least restrictive level of support so they can live their lives as independently as possible. Psychologists continue to work and support these individual’s to live a life of meaning and as to cope with life’s stressors. Psychologists work at agencies supporting these individuals and assisting them in their daily lives. Overall, psychologists work with individuals with disabilities continues as there are still many people who struggle daily as a result of their lives in institutions. Lets continue to strengthen our communities and embrace all lives!
