...disabled is not taboo as it was in the past. Unless the disability is really noticeable (physical) you would not know that a person has a disability. Not long ago when a person was classified with a developmental disability they may have been placed in a group home of institutionalized according to their disability. Since then, time has changed drastically and persons are able to get treated within the comfort of their own living quarters. From adults to children facilities have come forward with alternative living for those that had little hope of functionally normal in society. More informal settings have come forward and have placed themselves in communities for ease of access. Thanks to government funding to non-profit organizations, communities are able to assist those that need assistance, by providing them services that may only be offered at the hospital level. Name at least four informal networks for clients, and the pros and cons of each One of the biggest informal network organizations that are provided in an informal setting is the Respite services program. A respite service provides an array of informal networks that assist those with a developmental disability. This program administers funds to public and private organizations to help establish model facilities for him/her with disabilities. Social Services will examine the needs; refer clients appropriately to an organization that is matched to his or her disability in their neighborhood. The respite services is there...

...Agency Analysis Coletta Tolbert PPA 601/Jill Young Ashford University January 18, 2010 The agency analysis that I will discuss will be my current employer PBH. Even though I have only been employed with the company for three years (Feb 12), I have read about and seen significant changes throughout the agency. PBH currently has about 200 employees with one individual who has been with the company for 40 years. PBH started as a one-room mental health clinic at the Cabarrus County Health Department in 1960. It became Piedmont Mental Health, Mental Retardation, and Substance Abuse Area Program in July 1974 serving Cabarrus, Stanly and Union Counties. PBH today is an LME (a multi-county area program) serving Cabarrus, Davidson, Rowan, Stanly, and Union counties with a population of over 700,000 people that is spread over 2,459 square miles (pbhcare.org).

...Students with Significant Cognitive Disabilities April Scruggs scruggs_am@students.lynchburg.edu Graduate Student – Lynchburg College SPED 644 – Academic Instruction Reading is the cornerstone of instruction for all students regardless of their ability level because it sets the foundation for future progress and success in virtually all other facets of life (Kliewer & Landis, 1999). Recent legislation and research has suggested that we should be more successful in teaching every student to read (Brower, Wakeman, Spooner, Ahlgrim-Delzell, & Algozzine, 2006). There are various strategies that educators use to teach reading in a typical classroom setting. However, these strategies are not always the same in special education classrooms, especially in terms of teaching students with significant cognitive disabilities. Browder et al. (2006) defined students with significant cognitive disabilities as students classified as having moderate or severe mental retardation, who may have additional disabilities such as autism or physical disabilities. Individuals with severe cognitive disabilities may use nonlinguistic communication … and exhibit learning characteristics that require greater time to learn and intensive forms of instructional support (p.392). As shown by Katims (2000), reading instruction has been viewed in a variety of different ways for students with significant or severe disabilities throughout the years and there were...

...Grand Canyon University: SPE-226 October 5, 2013 Different Kinds of Disabilities There are several different types of disabilities a child may have. There are disabilities such as intellectual disabilities, autism, severe disabilities, and multiple disabilities. All disabilities are different. They have different cause and may have different effects on the students learning. Intellectual Disabilities Intellectual disability by definition is a disability characterized by significant limitations in both intellectual functioning and adaptive behavior, which covers many everyday social and practice skills. This disability originates before the age of 18 (aaid.org). Intelligence tests are given to gauge if a person has an intellectual disability. Another test used is adaptive behavior scales. Students are observed to see if they have the ability to act appropriately in social situations and if they have the ability to take care of their personal needs (i.e. hygiene). Using both tests, a person can be diagnosed with an intellectual disability, which can be described as mild, moderate, severe, or profound. Intellectual disabilities may occur for a number of reasons. Although the causes are not always known, there are a few known causes such as sociocultural influences, biomedical factors, behavioral factors and unknown prenatal influences (Hardman, Drew & Egan 2011). Students with intellectual disabilities usually read on a reading level that is lower than that of other students...

...focuses on enhancing the quality of life for people with disabilities and their families, meeting basic needs and ensuring inclusion and participation. CBR was initiated in the mid-1980s but has evolved to become a multi-sectoral strategy that empowers persons with disabilities to access and benefit from education, employment/vocational, health and other social services. CBR is implemented through the combined efforts of people with disabilities, their families, relevant government and non-government organizations and communities. CBR is "a strategy within community development for the rehabilitation, equalization of opportunities and social integration of all people with disabilities” (provided by United Nations) "CBR is a strategy for enhancing the quality of life of disabled people by improving service delivery, by providing more equitable opportunities and by promoting and protecting their human rights" (Einar Helander; Internationally Recognized Expert on CBR) Goals/objectives of CBR The goals of CBR are to ensure the benefits of the Convention on Rights of Persons with Disabilities reach the majority by: ✓ Supporting people with disabilities to maximize their physical and mental abilities, to access regular services and opportunities, and to become active contributors to the community and society at large; ✓ Activating communities to promote and protect the human rights of people with disabilities for example by removing barriers to participation; ...

...beliefs, and people from different races and of different ethnicities. There are also people living amongst us that face special circumstances such as being physically or mentally disabled, challenged by a chronic illness or even sexual orientation. Throughout history there have been cases where people have been discriminated against, ostracized and excluded based solely on their race, culture, religion, or disabilities. The American Disabilities Act and Affirmative Action are examples of two separate laws that were put into place to protect these people, and in turn offering these people equal opportunities. The American Disabilities Act or ADA was put into place initially in 1990 by President George W. Bush. The ADA is a civil rights law that protects people with disabilities. The ADA describes a person with a disability as follows: “An individual with a disability is a person who -- has a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more major life activities, or has a record of such an impairment” (U.S. Department of Justice, American Disabilities Act, 2012). Specific illnesses covered are epilepsy, muscular dystrophy, heart disease, mental retardation, cancer, and diabetes. Specific learning, speech and hearing impairments are also covered. The act is most known for changing the standards in the way public places are accessed. For example, prior to the ADA buildings were not all required to have a wheelchair ramp. This meant a person in a wheelchair...

...Law? Abstract This paper will cover various accommodations at the work place and explain how the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) relates to this. It will analyze each listed disability and evaluate whether the accommodation would be ethical or legal. Ethical Accommodation Decisions Decisions in business occur every day. Some large and some small, some may be very valuable and others rather meaningless. Some decisions have to be made that have an effect on workers with disabilities. In many cases the Americans with Disabilities Act lays out some guidance. On July 26, 1990 the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) was officially signed in Congress and modified with updated in June 2008.. That was not the beginning of the movement for disabled employees and parents with disabled children to challenge barriers in society. People started challenging various obstacles on a case by case basis well before the official signing in 1990. They challenged various organizations by petitions and marches. Eventually the ADA was signed and Americans with disabilities are recognized as a society. It is every manager’s duty to manage employee performance, but when there is a disability that hinders that, how do we act? According to the ADA employers have certain legal responsibilities to an employee with a disability. ADA defines a disability as “an individual who has a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more major life activities...

...Molly Patterson Flowers for Algernon Paper Recreation for Special Populations East Tennessee State University Flowers for Algernon is a short story that has many themes within it. This paper will focus on the theme of the mistreatment of disabled people. The bullying is practiced purposely and accidentally. However, society mistreats anyone who is different and most of the time it happens subconsciously. The main theme of this story is the mistreatment of mentally disabled and even mentally gifted people. Mentally disabled people are mistreated daily just because of their condition. Many cruel people, like the bakery workers in the story, make fun of mentally disabled people just for amusement. Others treat the mentally disabled as inferior and try to help them, but the help they offer is only because they feel superior to the disabled person and view the help as charity. Society in general feels awkward and superior to the mentally disabled due to lack of contact or knowledge of them. Even the main character, Charlie, is unable to show any warmth for the mentally disabled once he gains his knowledge. An example of how society treats people who are different is proven through each person’s level of knowledge. Young children treat mentally disabled kids the same as any other. However as they grow and learn more through society they begin to treat them different. As we have learned in class, society has enough knowledge to know that these people are different but...

...are the mentally retarded or intellectually disabled. According to the tenth revision of the WHO (world health Organization): intellectual disability (ID) is a disorder defined by the presence of incomplete or arrested mental development, principally characterized by the deterioration of concrete functions at each stage of development and that contribute to the overall level of intelligence, such as cognitive, language, motor, and socialization functions; in this anomaly, adaptation to the environment is always affected. For ID, the scores for intellectual development levels must be determined based on all the available information, including clinical signs, adaptive behavior in the cultural medium of the individual and psychometric findings (Katz, 2008) There are many causes of intellectual disability, but doctors find a specific reason in only 25% of cases (Mental retardation, 2010). Intellectual disability affects approximately 1-3% of the population. Persons with intellectual disability can expect to live 50 years and beyond depending on the severity of their health problems (Staff, 2009). With early intervention and improved health care, life span continues to increase. Prior to researching mental retardation, my personal awareness was very limited. I have not had much experience or interaction with persons with intellectual disabilities. On occasion, if I shop at a particular grocery store within my community, there is a young grocery bagger with Down syndrome, but I rarely...

...Intellectual disabilities commonly known by “Mental Retardation”, is dubbed for a term used to describe a person's ability to learn at a less than expected level and function in one's daily life. There are several known types of cognitive functions ranging from mild to severe that are viewed as with some form of Intellectual disability or another. The hypotheses of individuals who display or experience mental retardation normally have some type of mental or physical impairment. Due to the barriers and stigmas associated with around the term mental retardation, association, institutions and various fields are adapting to the new terminology intellectual disabilities. According to my reading, in 1990, Congress passed a Law 101-476, recognizing the Individuals with Disabilities Education Acts (IDEA). (Thomas, 2013) Special education terminology has historically under gone construction several times in the United States. (Thomas, 2013) As I began to discuss various questions related to individuals with Intellectual disabilities, you will see how the terminology, law, and the identification of ID is very much an open wide debate. Interesting enough, what was perceived as my understanding of children with Intellectual disabilities was not to far off in terms of my opinion. I would venture to say that, maybe I was not as informed as previously thought off. Now, moreover, in knowing that there are different levels of disabilities, ignorant people, I including, almost categorize...
