Action Paths for the Social Participation of People with Disabilities under Digital Empowerment: A Study Based on Group Work Intervention

Abstract

Against the backdrop of the digital social transformation, digital technology has emerged as a crucial medium for individuals with disabilities to overcome physical limitations and expand their social participation. However, the digital divide and social exclusion continue to impede their participation effectiveness. This paper adopts group work as an intervention approach. By constructing an intervention framework centered around technology adaptation, capacity enhancement, social support, and participation empowerment, and integrating the current digital literacy status and social participation needs of individuals with disabilities, it explores the practical pathways of group work in bridging the digital divide and stimulating participation motivation. The research reveals that through mechanisms such as peer assistance, situational simulation, and empowerment, group work can effectively improve the digital skills of individuals with disabilities, build supportive networks, and promote their in-depth transformation from digital inclusion to social participation, thus providing practical references for the innovation of social work services for individuals with disabilities in the digital age.
