- Existing practices need systemic change to effectively support people with disabilities.
Purpose of the Study:
- To describe strategies for the systematic diffusion and sustainability of the emerging Shared Citizenship Paradigm (SCP).
- To outline a process that ensures the long-term adoption and effectiveness of the SCP in transforming disability services.
Main Methods:
- The article details a systematic diffusion process with five components: knowledge, persuasion, decision, implementation, and confirmation.
- It also addresses potential risks like dissonance, backlash, unintended consequences, and backsliding during paradigm sustainability.
Main Results:
- A systematic diffusion process is crucial for the successful implementation and sustainability of the SCP.
- Addressing risks proactively is essential to prevent negative outcomes and ensure lasting change.
