This book was released on 2024-05-21 with total page 564 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This textbook is an essential resource for life care planners in understanding and assessing a range of medical disabilities, life care planning as a health care service delivery practice, certification under the International Commission on Health Care Certification, and the path to rehabilitation for mild to catastrophic injuries. Written by a team composed of expert physicians and doctoral-level practitioners, the book covers the key areas of traumatic injury and resultant disability that life care planners so often face. From acquired brain injury and spinal disorders to amputation, chronic pain, posttraumatic debilitating headaches, and plastic reconstructive surgery, the book provides a road map not only to the treatment options available but also the strategies that can lead to rehabilitation and a possible return to work. Each chapter also discusses possible complications, allowing a holistic perspective on each issue. Also including chapters on medical cost projection analysis and functional capacity evaluation, this is the complete text for both professionals in the fields of rehabilitation services and life care planning, as well as students training to qualify.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This thesis considers the ways that the law of the built environment in Canada perpetuates the segregation of people with disabilities away from public space. How and what we build is a highly regulated activity. If these regulations, like provincial building code or municipal bylaws, presume that the public is able-bodied then we will continue to build in a way that excludes or disadvantages disabled people. Using the analytical tools of critical disability theory and Iris Marion Young's concept of the "heterogeneous public", I argue that rebuilding our communities to reflect the full range of human embodiments will require strategies that target able-bodied privilege in the substantive and procedural law of the built environment. In order to explain how this privilege operates, I begin with a historical study of the role of the federal government in drafting building standards in the 1940s which led to Canada's first National Building Code (NBC). The standards in the NBC, which originally only provided for the safe use of buildings by able-bodied people, have been adopted as a whole or in part by every province. Even after the federal government published the "Building Standards for the Handicapped" in 1965, it took decades for the provinces to start enforcing "barrier-free" standards and these continue to be separate from and subordinate to the main text of provincial building code. Next, I use a contemporary case study about a disability advocacy group's fight for accessible summer patios in Montreal, Quebec, to illustrate the strengths and limitations of human rights law remedies for inaccessibility in the built environment. Though this case led to changes in the design of summer patios, it had an absurd result of allowing wheelchair users to eat and drink on an outdoor patio without any guarantee that they would have interior access, including access to a washroom. I propose that the most effective way for disabled people to use human rights complaints is to target the underlying laws that presume an able-bodied public, like restaurant licensing regulations that require public hand-washing facilities but do not require these facilities to be accessible. Finally, I propose some proactive approaches to building inclusive communities by looking at the procedural aspects of planning law that provide for members of the public to provide input or contest permitting decisions. If people with disabilities participate in planning law processes, like public consultations or appeals at the permitting stage, they can potentially prevent the mistakes that will likely be made if only able-bodied people are in the room. It is not reasonable, or cost effective for anyone, if persons with disabilities have to wait and file a human rights complaint post-construction when they could intervene directly in how the laws that regulate the built environment are applied and interpreted"--
Download or read book Disability Injustice written by Kelly Fritsch and published by UBC Press. This book was released on 2022-02-15 with total page 358 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ableism is embedded in Canadian criminal justice institutions, policies, and practices, making incarceration and institutionalization dangerous – even deadly – for disabled people. Disability Injustice examines disability in contexts that include policing and surveillance, sentencing and the courts, prisons and alternatives to confinement. The contributors confront challenging topics such as the pathologizing of difference as deviance; eugenics and crime control; criminalization based on biased physical and mental health approaches; and the role of disability justice activism in contesting discrimination. This provocative collection highlights how, with deeper understanding of disability, we can challenge the practices of crime control and the processes of criminalization.

Download or read book Federalism Democracy and Disability Policy in Canada written by Alan H. Puttee and published by IIGR, Queen's University. This book was released on 2002 with total page 179 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 1999 signing of the Social Union Framework Agreement, the elimination of government deficits, and an apparent trend to decentralisation have increased the focus on Canada's social policy and the manner of its formulation. While disability policy, a key element of social policy that is seldom high on the country's policy agenda, is sharing in the renewed interest, no significant disability policy changes have yet emerged.The Social Union and Disability Policy examines the development of Canadian disability policy and the current political landscape that will influence new policy. It offers an agenda for reform of the disability insurance system and for the provision of supports and services for people with disabilities. The focus is on the impact of governance structures, those now in place and those that might be expected to yield improved policy outcomes while promoting the principles of federalism and democratic oversight.Contributors to the volume are academics Michael Prince (University of Victoria), Roy Hanes (Carleton University) and Allan Moscovitch (Carleton University), NGO representative Michael Bach (Roeher Institute) and social policy analysts Marcia Rioux (York University) and Alan Puttee.
