Book excerpt: The U.S. Social Security Administration (SSA) provides disability benefits through the Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) programs. To receive SSDI or SSI disability benefits, an individual must meet the statutory definition of disability, which is "the inability to engage in any substantial gainful activity [SGA] by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment which can be expected to result in death or which has lasted or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than 12 months." SSA uses a five-step sequential process to determine whether an adult applicant meets this definition. Functional Assessment for Adults with Disabilities examines ways to collect information about an individual's physical and mental (cognitive and noncognitive) functional abilities relevant to work requirements. This report discusses the types of information that support findings of limitations in functional abilities relevant to work requirements, and provides findings and conclusions regarding the collection of information and assessment of functional abilities relevant to work requirements.
Download or read book Independent Living Specialist Assessment of Skills Measuring Areas for Independent Living written by Margaret L. Sanders and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 129 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although the acquisition of skills for independent living is a positive aspect for all persons including persons with disabilities (Cairns, 2001), many programs differ in their concept and identification of skills that promote independent living for persons with disabilities (Iceman & Dunlap, 1984). Similarly, the United States and many other countries are facing problems in defining independent living (Tate, 1984). Giordano and D'Alonzo (1994) noted that a precise and universally agreed upon definition of independent living is elusive. Similarly, Barnes (2005) noted that there was no uniform definition for independent living. Independent living specialists are employees staffed at centers for independent living that have direct professional experience with identifying skills that promote independent living for persons with disabilities. The purpose of this study was to examine the degree of agreement among independent living specialists in assessing an instrument measuring areas for independent living. The Ansell Casey Life Skills Assessment (ACLSA) Caregiver 4, a measuring instrument used for assessing adults' independent living skills, was used in this study. Independent living specialists from the Illinois Network of Centers for Independent Living (INCIL) were the population this study. Descriptive and parametric statistical analyses were used in analyzing the data.

Book excerpt: Providing a solid foundation in the normal development of functional movement, Functional Movement Development Across the Life Span, 3rd Edition helps you recognize and understand movement disorders and effectively manage patients with abnormal motor function. It begins with coverage of basic theory, motor development and motor control, and evaluation of function, then discusses the body systems contributing to functional movement, and defines functional movement outcomes in terms of age, vital functions, posture and balance, locomotion, prehension, and health and illness. This edition includes more clinical examples and applications, and updates data relating to typical performance on standardized tests of balance. Written by physical therapy experts Donna J. Cech and Suzanne "Tink" Martin, this book provides evidence-based information and tools you need to understand functional movement and manage patients' functional skills throughout the life span. - Over 200 illustrations, tables, and special features clarify developmental concepts, address clinical implications, and summarize key points relating to clinical practice. - A focus on evidence-based information covers development changes across the life span and how they impact function. - A logical, easy-to-read format includes 15 chapters organized into three units covering basics, body systems, and age-related functional outcomes respectively. - Expanded integration of ICF (International Classification of Function) aligns learning and critical thinking with current health care models. - Additional clinical examples help you apply developmental information to clinical practice. - Expanded content on assessment of function now includes discussion of participation level standardized assessments and assessments of quality-of-life scales. - More concise information on the normal anatomy and physiology of each body system allows a sharper focus on development changes across the lifespan and how they impact function.
