HDM-DCP

This course is a prerequisite to other INDCP courses (LIFE-H, MQE and IIP).

The HDM-DCP course allows participants to better understand the Human Development Model – Disability Creation Process (HDM-DCP) and the interaction between three conceptual domains in the field of disability: life habits, environmental factors and personal factors. It also provides knowledge of the different measurement tools that facilitate the use of the model in professional, research or advocacy activities. The course also leads participants to reflect on their role and responsibilities in the emergence of social participation and disability situations experienced by people with disabilities and their families.
