Abstract

This research paper offers a comprehensive, multi-level model for promoting accessibility and social justice for persons with disabilities (PWD) with a focus on a social work perspective. It synthesizes theoretical models of disability, global and Indian legal and policy frameworks, and operational intervention strategies from implementation science. Through a rights-based perspective and consideration of intersectionality, this paper presents the specific and vital work of social work professionals in breaking structural barriers and facilitating complete participation in society for PWD. The approach encompasses macro (policy and systems), meso (organizations and communities), and micro (individual and family) levels to offer practical, viable, and inclusive interventions. Particular focus is on the Indian socio-legal context with incorporation of global best practices.
