Cultural Constructs: Cultural constructs refer to the ways in which cultures define and understand fundamental concepts, skills, values and beliefs. These constructs are transmitted through discourse and communication among members of a particular culture. Cultural norms, traditions, behaviors and expectations often guide how individuals interact with each other within a given cultural context (Schneider & DeYoung-Smith, 2019).
Social Cultural Contexts: Social cultural contexts refer to the social frameworks that exist within a society or community. This includes attitudes, beliefs, values and practices that shape how people behave in different settings. It can include everything from what is socially acceptable behavior in certain situations to the language used when discussing issues related to race, gender or sexuality (Gutierrez-Clellen & Baker-Sennett, 2014).
Workplace Disability Focus: Workplace disability focus refers to workplace policies designed to promote an inclusive environment for persons with disabilities. These policies may include reasonable accommodations for employees with disabilities including adjustments to job tasks or hours worked; access to assistive technology; access ramps into buildings; modified workspaces; supportive counselling services; anti-discrimination laws and programs providing career training opportunities (Rehabilitation Services Administration [RSA], 2021).
