Amos Ounsoubo’s Master’s Thesis provides a fascinating look into using an asset-based approach to help include persons with disabilities.
The thesis approaches the issue of inclusion of persons with disabilities by looking for their strengths, abilities, competences, and skills, rather than their vulnerability.
By focusing on the work of the association HANDICARE with hearing-impaird youth in Ngaoundere (Cameroon), the study reveals that diaconal asset-based methods like Use Your Talents in an integrated model with elements of “Seeking Conviviality” and “Empowerment” can effectively be used as a tool for the inclusion of People With Dissabilities.
