Abstract

This conceptual position article explores cultural values' influence on disability inclusion in Southeast Asia. This is relevant to progress on the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities and Sustainable Development Goal 10 on reduced inequalities and SDG 17 on partnerships. Progress and pathways towards increased disability inclusion and 'leaving no-one behind' reflect factors related to attitudes, accessibility, participation, and service delivery, as well as power, politics, and economics, all of which are influenced by cultural values. Values influence how disability and inclusion are understood in society, in policies and services. Values affect motivation and 'how change happens' in different contexts. This article applies a framework for understanding cultural value differences to disability and inclusion, and prospects for changes in policy in Southeast Asia. A case study about Indonesia illustrates the application of the framework on understanding of disability, inclusion and change in one country. The article encourages more nuanced, strengths-based, and culturally informed approaches, to enable change-makers to navigate complexities associated with achieving disability inclusive societies.

东南亚对包容性的文化理解。

这篇概念立场文章探讨了文化价值观对东南亚残障包容的影响。这与《联合国残疾人权利公约》、关于减少不平等的可持续发展目标10和关于伙伴关系的可持续发展目标17的进展有关。在增加残疾人包容和“不让任何人掉队”方面取得的进展和途径反映了与态度、可及性、参与和服务提供以及权力、政治和经济有关的因素，所有这些因素都受到文化价值观的影响。价值观影响着社会、政策和服务对残疾和包容的理解。价值观在不同的背景下影响动机和“变化如何发生”。本文运用一个框架来理解文化价值差异对残疾和包容的影响，以及东南亚政策变化的前景。一个关于印度尼西亚的案例研究说明了关于理解残疾、包容和变革的框架在一个国家的应用。本文鼓励采用更细致、基于优势和了解文化的方法，使变革者能够驾驭与实现残疾人包容性社会相关的复杂性。

期刊介绍： The IJDD publishes scientific articles on work dealing with different approaches to the habilitation problems of people with an intellectual disability. The Journal covers the entire spectrum of intellectual disabilities, and is concerned with definitions, IQ, genetic predisposition, evaluation of abilities, learning interventions, challenging behaviour, medication, attitudes to death and bereavement, sexuality, legal aspects, WHO, NICE and other governmental guidelines, care in the community, advocacy, stress and coping strategies for families and carers - though this is not an exhaustive list. The unifying theme is that all of these aspects should be of practical help for those with intellectual disabilities or those caring for persons with intellectual disabilities. Emphasis is placed on the practical implications of the work of educationists, instructors, nurses, occupational and other therapists, psychiatrists, psychologists and social workers, whether taking place in a hospital setting or in community care. The Journal accepts contributions from anywhere in the world but they must be written in acceptable and fluent English, avoiding technical jargon as far as possible in view of the wide readership. The IJDD puts much emphasis on the practical application of scientific findings, and prospective contributors should keep in mind that acceptance of a manuscript for publication will depend to a great extent on its direct relevance to habilitation work. Readers of the IJDD expect that articles should give them some scientific help and insight in their practical work.
