Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Federal safety net programs play a significant role in the lives of many children with autism from low-income households. Without safety net benefits, families of children with autism may be unable to afford life's necessities like food, shelter, and medications. Despite its critical importance, however, safety net use is largely overlooked in autism research. The primary purpose of this dissertation was to examine the distribution, parameters, and determinants of federal safety net program use among a nationally representative sample of children, ages 3-17 years, with autism from low-income households. Drawing from the 2016-2017 National Survey of Children's Health, the study employed descriptive and multivariate logistic regression analyses to examine how predisposing, enabling, and need factors influence participation in the following four safety net programs: cash assistance from a government welfare program; the woman infants and children (WIC) program; food stamps or supplemental nutrition assistance program benefits (SNAP); and free or reduced-cost breakfasts or lunches at school. The study compared the statistics for children with autism spectrum disorder to children with special health care needs who did not have autism, and children who did not have a special healthcare need or autism. Findings revealed that, even among low-income households, children with autism differed from children with other special healthcare needs in a number of ways: (a) they had poorer health and used and needed more services, (b) they were more likely to be Hispanic and from households with at least one immigrant parent, and (c) they were less likely to reside in the South but more likely to reside in the West. Children in the autism group had significantly higher levels of safety net use across all individual programs except for WIC. They also had higher levels of any safety net use and concurrent use, relative to comparison groups. In general, the magnitude and statistical significance of group differences were larger between children with autism and those with no special healthcare needs. Group differences in safety net outcomes generally persisted after controlling for predisposing characteristics, indicating that factors other than disability severity and sociodemographic characteristics contributed to group differences. Public health insurance and financial need played an important role in attenuating group differences in safety net program use and concurrent use. Findings also indicate that the relationship between public health insurance and safety net program use was explained in part, by variability in financial need. Despite the finding that children with autism from low-income households were more likely to use at least one safety net program than comparison groups, a sizeable proportion of children in the ASD group (14%) were still disconnected from all four safety net programs. Many of these children experienced material hardship with nearly two-thirds (64%) of disconnected parents of children with ASD reporting difficulty meeting basic needs at some point and about a third (34%) having to reduce work to care for their child. Having higher material hardship despite having access to safety net benefits seems to indicate challenges within existing safety net policies in being responsive to the needs of children with autism. Findings from this study raise important policy questions regarding proposed budget cuts for certain safety net programs, changes in program eligibility, and the role that public health insurance programs have on promoting access to the economic safety net. Future research about the economic security of children with ASD and their families could focus on the following five areas of inquiry: the analysis of subpopulations of low-income children with autism by race, ethnicity, and socioeconomic position; the consideration of multiple indicators of material hardship and financial burden; the assessment of the subpopulation of children with autism who do not receive safety net benefits despite being eligible; the identification of factors that drive group differences in federal safety net program use; and the examination of the role that safety net programs have in ameliorating the adverse effects of poverty for children with autism and their families.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Teaching to Change the World is an up-to-the-moment, engaging, social justice-oriented introduction to education and teaching, and the challenges and opportunities they present. Both foundational and practical, the chapters are organized around conventional topics but in a way that consistently integrates a coherent story that explains why schools are as they are. Taking the position that a hopeful, democratic future depends on ensuring that all students learn, the text pays particular attention to inequalities associated with race, social class, language, gender, and other social categories and explores teachers’ role in addressing them. This thoroughly revised fifth edition remains a vital introduction to the profession for a new generation of teachers who seek to become purposeful, knowledgeable practitioners in our ever-changing educational landscape—for those teachers who see the potential for education to change the world. Features and Updates of the New Edition: • Fully updated Chapter 1, "The U.S. Schooling Dilemma," reflects our current state of education after the 2016 U.S. presidential election. • First-person observations from teachers, including first-year teachers, continue to offer vivid, authentic pictures of what teaching to change the world means and involves. • Additional coverage of the ongoing effects of Common Core highlights the heated public discourse around teaching and teachers, and charter schools. • Attention to diversity and inclusion is treated as integral to all chapters, woven throughout rather than tacked on as separate units. • "Digging Deeper" resources on the new companion website include concrete resources that current and future teachers can use in their classrooms. • "Tools for Critique" provides instructors and students questions, prompts, and activities aimed at encouraging classroom discussion and particularly engaging those students least familiar with the central tenets of social justice education.
Download or read book Modernizing the Korean Welfare State written by Neil Gilbert and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-01-22 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Modernizing the Korean Welfare State analyzes recent developments in social and public policy in South Korea. Its focus is the new approach to Korea's system of social protection, known as the productive welfare paradigm. This volume brings together an international group of scholars to examine the new paradigm and associated policy developments. In the first part, contributors examine the significance of the productive welfare paradigm and recent policy developments within a broader comparative and international perspective. They question the commitment to welfare in the paradigm, viewing it largely as an example of a global trend towards the "enabling state" in which social welfare serves largely economic goals. Other contributors situate the new paradigm in relation to globalization and its implications for national strategies of social protection developed in earlier times. The new departure in Korea is compared to European welfare state development, and contributors find it a bold attempt to fashion a comprehensive welfare state based on social rights. In the second part, contributors focus on specific issues and policy areas. These include the degree to which Korea has been following a "pro-poor" growth policy. They evaluate developments in the area of unemployment and work injury insurance. They review the progress of policies in the area of social insurance and assistance, and the American system of income support for low income earners and its lessons for Korean policymakers. Other contributors review the public pensions system in Korea, and environmental protection policies are discussed and the impact of those policies on the poor and people of color, who are disproportionately exposed to environmental hazards.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nestled in neighborhoods of varying degrees of affluence, suburban public schools are typically better resourced than their inner-city peers and known for their extracurricular offerings and college preparatory programs. Despite the glowing opportunities that many families associate with suburban schooling, accessing a district's resources is not always straightforward, particularly for black and poorer families. Moving beyond class- and race-based explanations, Inequality in the Promised Land focuses on the everyday interactions between parents, students, teachers, and school administrators in order to understand why resources seldom trickle down to a district's racial and economic minorities. Rolling Acres Public Schools (RAPS) is one of the many well-appointed suburban school districts across the United States that has become increasingly racially and economically diverse over the last forty years. Expanding on Charles Tilly's model of relational analysis and drawing on 100 in-depth interviews as well participant observation and archival research, R. L'Heureux Lewis-McCoy examines the pathways of resources in RAPS. He discovers that—due to structural factors, social and class positions, and past experiences—resources are not valued equally among families and, even when deemed valuable, financial factors and issues of opportunity hoarding often prevent certain RAPS families from accessing that resource. In addition to its fresh and incisive insights into educational inequality, this groundbreaking book also presents valuable policy-orientated solutions for administrators, teachers, activists, and politicians.

Book excerpt: This volume argues that districts are important as a lever for change given the limited success of school-by-school efforts. Policies that focus on skill development, recognize and support performance, create opportunities for collaboration, build leader capacity, and create networks of knowledge sharing hold great potential for improving districts but it will require a paradigm shift in the way we view our public school system and those who work within it - away from blame and toward complext systems change.
