Sixteen Years since the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities: What Have We Learned since Then?

Persons with disabilities have historically been subjected to discrimination and exclusion, placing them in dangerous situations of social vulnerability. The Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, passed on the 13th of December 2006, was an important legislative landmark for valuing the rights of this population group. This study involved a bibliometric analysis of 1024 research articles published in Scopus on the social, workplace, educational, and financial inclusion of persons with disabilities since the Convention. The results show an increase in scientific production, and there is also a great deal of multi-disciplinarity, which has led to important breakthroughs for the all-encompassing inclusion of this section of the population. The most productive journals, authors, institutions, and countries, as well as the international cooperation networks, are presented here. The review concludes by setting out the main themes and trends in the research.

The Case of Training Service Cecap, Toledo, Spain / Aprendizagens para as políticas e intervenes sociais de discapacidade mental. O caso do Servido de Capacitado Cecap, Toledo, Espanha

Objetivos: recoger aprendizajes conceptuales para las iniciativas de discapacidad mental y determinar qué elementos metodológicos de intervención contribuyen mayormente a la inclusión del colectivo. Materiales y métodos: investigación centrada en el caso de Cecap, Toledo-España.¹ Integró herramientas cualitativas (revisión documental y entrevistas a, entre otros, sujetos de intervención) y cuantitativas (ahp datos estudiados con análisis de contenido y estadística. Resultados: la "especificidad" que orienta conceptual y metodológicamente la intervención de Cecap, dialogando con la CIF-OMS, el modelo social y el enfoque de derechos, entiende al colectivo como personas con características específicas y diferenciadas, al igual que personas sin discapacidad. Metodológicamente, trabajar desde planes individuales de intervención, tiene la mayor prioridad para la inclusión. Conclusiones: las políticas e intervenciones debiesen considerar instrumentos que reconozcan las características e intereses específicos de los sujetos como capitales pro inclusión.

Objectives: Collecting conceptual lessons for the initiatives on mental disabilities and determining what methodological interventions elements contribute the most to the inclusion of the group. Materials and Methods: Research focused on the Cacap case, Toledo, Spain². We integrated qualitative tools (review of documentation and interviews performed to intervention subjects, among others), and quantitative tools (ahp), data studied with content analysis. Results: the "specificity" that conceptually and methodologically guides the intervention of Cecap, in dialogue with the CIF-OMS, the social model and the rights approach, understands the group as people with specific and differentiated characteristics, exactly as people without disabilities. Methodologically, working from individual intervention plans has the top priority for inclusion. Conclusions: The policies and interventions should consider instruments that acknowledge the specific characteristics and interests of the subjects as of utmost importance for inclusion.
