Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This first-of-its-kind textbook surveys rehabilitation and vocational programs aiding persons with disabilities in remote and developing areas in the U.S. and abroad. Contributors discuss longstanding challenges to these communities, most notably economic and environmental obstacles and ongoing barriers to service delivery, as well as their resilience and strengths. Intersections of health, social, structural, and access disparities are shown affecting rural disabled populations such as women, racial and sexual minorities, youth, and elders. In terms of responses, a comprehensive array of healthcare and health policy solutions and recommendations is critiqued with regard to health, employment, and service effectiveness outcomes. Included among the topics: Healthcare initiatives, strategies, and challenges for people with disabilities in rural, frontier, and territory settings. Challenges faced by veterans residing in rural communities. The Asia and Pacific region: rural-urban impact on disability. Challenges after natural disaster for rural residents with disabilities. Meeting the needs of rural adults with mental illness and dual diagnoses. Capacity building in rural communities through community-based collaborative partnerships. Disability and Vocational Rehabilitation in Rural Settings makes a worthy textbook for graduate students and upper-level undergraduates in the fields of social work, community and environmental psychology, public health, sociology, education, and geography. Its professional audience also includes vocational rehabilitation counselors serving these dynamic populations.

This book was released on 2013 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While specific services have demonstrated effectiveness in assisting individuals with disabilities achieve successful employment outcomes, there is currently limited knowledge regarding the widespread use of evidence-based practices (EBP) within the state-federal vocational rehabilitation system. This study identified specific organizational and service practices within the public Mississippi Vocational Rehabilitation (VR) program intended to help inform further development of evidence-based practices for use within the VR program nationally. The Mississippi VR program was selected for study given that its employment outcome rate consistently exceeds 70%, compared with a national outcome average of 58% among other state VR programs. The nature of this research was exploratory and findings illustrate and appropriately reflect examples of key practice as identified by participants, rather than infer explanation or causality. A case study using modified Consensual Qualitative Research (CQR) methodology allowed researchers to identify organizational components contributing to a culture of performance including (a) a data-driven philosophy, (b) a focus on rapid service intervention, (c) active partnership with employers, (d) specialized caseloads and coordinators, (e) business model and agency structure, (f) active and intentional internal and external agency communication, and (g) a commitment to ongoing staff training at all levels in the organization. Additionally, soft skills' training was identified as a service practice recommended for further study to determine its efficacy, effectiveness, and efficiency within the state-federal VR program. A substantive lack of extant evidence-based practice specific to the VR system emerged through the findings and further development of specific evidence-based service delivery practices for implementation within the VR system is recommended. Findings also reflect previous research results indicating a lack of practitioner awareness and identification of evidence-based practice, therefore training and education of rehabilitation counselors on the tenets and skills involved in identifying, adopting, and implementing EBP is warranted. Finally, systematic study of organizational practices and frameworks to assist administrators, counselors, policy makers, and researchers appropriately identify, implement, and measure EBP within the VR system should to be considered.

Download or read book Handbook of Vocational Rehabilitation and Disability Evaluation written by Reuben Escorpizo and published by Springer. This book was released on 2014-12-01 with total page 567 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents the state of the art in the application and implementation of the WHO's International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) in the areas of vocational rehabilitation as a primary topic and disability evaluation as a secondary topic. Application of the ICF and implementation strategies toward a holistic and comprehensive approach to work disability and vocational rehabilitation programs are presented along with clinical cases and exercises. The ICF as a topic in health and disability has been gaining momentum since its approval by the World Health Assembly in 2001, and great progress has been made since then. However, the integration if the ICF in the realm of vocational rehabilitation has been lacking despite the fact that work and employment are a major area in people's lives, particularly those who have work disability. This book will advance the professional practice of vocational rehabilitation, rehabilitation counseling, occupational medicine, and allied health science.

Book excerpt: Abstract: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the types of vocational rehabilitation services provided to individuals with psychiatric disabilities through the federal-state vocational rehabilitation program and the relationship of these services to employment outcome. With the cooperation and support of the Rehabilitation Services Administration (RSA), the data for this study consisted of consumers with psychiatric disabilities who received services during federal fiscal year 2002 (n = 79,967). In addition, this study evaluated and described the demographic variables that were involved in successful employment outcome such as gender, race/ethnicity, age, diagnosis, significant disability, years of education, and disability benefits. To ensure that the regression model had both generalizability and transferability to the population and situations for which it was intended, model validation was accomplished by splitting the sample approximately in half, resulting in a top (n = 40,000) and bottom sample (n = 39,967). Correlational analyses and chi-square analyses were used to assess the bivariate relationship between the dependent variables (program closure status) and each of the predictor variables to identify high intercorrelations and assist in determining which variables were entered into the logistic regression model. The best fit model was identified and interpreted based on the top and bottom halves of data. Neither race/ethnicity nor gender were predictors of employment outcome and after being force entered into the initial logistic regression model, race/ethnicity was dropped in the final model. However, job placement services, on-the-job services, job search assistance and other support services were somewhat predictive of a positive employment outcome for individuals with psychiatric disabilities. This may be due in part to the use of these services as a conduit toward achieving competitive employment, thus consumers receiving such services would be closer to achieving employment. In contrast, recipients of disability benefits, most especially individuals receiving SSI and SSDI, were the least likely to have an employment outcome after receiving services. Likewise, significant disability was also associated with fewer closures with employment outcomes. Many of the results of this study mirrored the existing literature on individuals with psychiatric disabilities, suggesting that additional research is needed to clarify the conflicting results of many studies. Model limitations and recommendations for further research are suggested.
Download or read book Clinician s Handbook of Adult Behavioral Assessment written by Michel Hersen and published by Gulf Professional Publishing. This book was released on 2011-04-28 with total page 698 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Given the vast amount of research related to behavioral assessment, it is difficult for clinicians to keep abreast of new developments. In recent years, there have been advances in assessment, case conceptualization, treatment planning, treatment strategies for specific disorders, and considerations of new ethical and legal issues. Keeping track of advances requires monitoring diverse resources limited to specific disorders, many of which are theoretical rather than practical, or that offer clinical advice without providing the evidence base for treatment recommendations. This handbook was created to fill this gap, summarizing critical information for adult behavioral assessment. The Clinician's Handbook of Adult Behavioral Assessment provides a single source for understanding new developments in this field, cutting across strategies, techniques, and disorders. Assessment strategies are presented in context with the research behind those strategies, along with discussions of clinical utility, and how assessment and conceptualization fit in with treatment planning. The volume is organized in three sections, beginning with general issues, followed by evaluations of specific disorders and problems, and closing with special issues. To ensure cross chapter consistency in the coverage of disorders, these chapters are formatted to contain an introduction, assessment strategies, research basis, clinical utility, conceptualization and treatment planning, a case study, and summary. Special issue coverage includes computerized assessment, evaluating older adults, behavioral neuropsychology, ethical-legal issues, work-related issues, and value change in adults with acquired disabilities. Suitable for beginning and established clinicians in practice, this handbook will provide a ready reference toward effective adult behavioral assessment.
