Download or read book All My Relations Understanding the Experiences of Native Americans with Disabilities written by Hilary N. Weaver and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-04-19 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Native Americans suffer disproportionately from many social and health disparities. High rates of poverty, exposure to environmental toxins, and various forms of violence all increase the risk of health problems, including disabilities, yet there is very little published scholarship concerning Native American experiences with disabilities. In collecting contributions on various aspects of disability in Native American populations in one volume, this book seeks to redress this lack of attention. Writing about regions of the United States, Canada, and Australia, and spanning a diverse range of settings from remote rural areas, to reservations, to college campuses, the authors are attentive to the impact of specific environments on their inhabitants. Taking into account both physical and social environment, and recognizing the importance of cultural context, this book is a good starting point for anyone interested in developing a better understanding of the experience of Native peoples living with disabilities. This book was originally published as a special issue of the Journal of Social Work in Disability & Rehabilitation.

Download or read book Independent Living Outcomes for American Indians with Disabilities written by Priscilla Lansing Sanderson and published by . This book was released on 1996 with total page 79 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Interviews were conducted with 32 American Indians with disabilities in Cibola, McKinley, and San Juan counties, New Mexico. The study sought to identify the needs of northwest New Mexico American Indians with disabilities with regard to independently carrying out daily living activities. With an average age of 49, interviewees frequently reported blindness, hearing impairments, and hypertension as disabling conditions. The most numerous tribal affiliation was Navajo (75 percent), followed by Zuni and Laguna. Interviewees described their experiences with services needed and received in the past year. A lack of knowledge about services was one of the most common barriers to receiving services. Of 32 responses regarding personal assistance services, 23 interviewees indicated that someone, usually a family member, assisted them with daily activities. Interviewees' most important concerns were service providers' involvement of family members and extended family members in rehabilitation services, the need to feel safe in home and neighborhood, the desire for the Indian community to understand its disabled members' needs, and the need for information about legal rights and self-advocacy. Two community meetings were held to review preliminary findings. Community concerns included funding needs of community-based consumers and service providers, access to cultural activities, and lack of action by tribal leaders. Includes recommendations to state and tribal agencies and the interview instrument. (Author/SV).

This book was released on 2018-04-02 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Social Security Administration (SSA) administers two programs that provide benefits based on disability: the Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) program and the Supplemental Security Income (SSI) program. This report analyzes health care utilizations as they relate to impairment severity and SSA's definition of disability. Health Care Utilization as a Proxy in Disability Determination identifies types of utilizations that might be good proxies for "listing-level" severity; that is, what represents an impairment, or combination of impairments, that are severe enough to prevent a person from doing any gainful activity, regardless of age, education, or work experience.

This book was released on 1996 with total page 111 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A participatory action research project examined vocational rehabilitation (vr) services provided in New York State to American Indians with behavioral health diagnoses, including dual diagnoses involving substance abuse. In 1991, the New York public vr system had 81 American Indians apply for vr services (only 2.8 percent of American Indians with disabilities that prevent them from working). Of the 81, 43 were accepted for services and 16 of these had a behavioral health diagnosis. Eight persons with such a diagnosis were closed as rehabilitated. A substantial number of American Indians who applied for vr services "refused services" at application or after eligibility was determined. Other data include a review of documentation on public agency cooperation and service delivery to disabled American Indians in New York; a summary of databases about this population, including those of the U.S. Census, Office of Mental Health, and office of Vocational and Educational Services for Individuals with Disabilities (vesid); and interviews with program clients, service providers on an Indian reservation, and vr agency staff. The project's "action" component was dissemination of research and training information at a statewide 2-day symposium in November 1995 in Syracuse, New York. Results indicate that while a comprehensive and integrated delivery system exists on paper, it fails to reach the service population studied. Recommendations focus on needs for aggressive outreach, cultural awareness, and greater program accountability. Contains 35 references. Appendices include data tables on disabled American Indians in New York and an annotated bibliography of literature available from vesid. (Sv)

Book excerpt: Born into a magical Cree world in snowy northern Manitoba, Champion and Ooneemeetoo Okimasis are all too soon torn from their family and thrust into the hostile world of a Catholic residential school. Their language is forbidden, their names are changed to Jeremiah and Gabriel, and both boys are abused by priests. As young men, estranged from their own people and alienated from the culture imposed upon them, the Okimasis brothers fight to survive. Wherever they go, the Fur Queen--a wily, shape-shifting trickster--watches over them with a protective eye. For Jeremiah and Gabriel are destined to be artists. Through music and dance they soar.

Download or read book An Examination of the Relationship Between Consumer Satisfaction and Employment Outcomes for Rehabilitated and Non rehabilitated American Indians and Alaska Natives written by Margie White and published by . This book was released on 2002 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: The purpose of this national project is to gain a better understanding of the relationship between consumer satisfaction for rehabilitated and non-rehabilitated American Indians living on and off reservations and the consequences of their rehabilitation closures, including employment outcomes (work options, length of work, wages, relationships at work, attitudes and support from supervisors) and barriers to successful rehabilitation. While most long-established rehabilitation service programs administer a consumer satisfaction interiew at successful caseload closures, the use for such an activity is not clearly defined or well reported. There has been little investigation in the format of such interviews, their usage, their effect on service administration, employment outcomes and on the communities in which individuals with disabilities live. Little evidence has also been established to show how rehabilitated American Indians living on and off reservation are affected by rehabilitation services differently from the non-rehabilitated ones. More importantly, little has been documented to identify the factors of satisfaction for successfully rehabilitated and unsuccessfully rehabilitated consumers.

Download or read book Disability and Vocational Rehabilitation in Rural Settings written by Debra A. Harley and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-11-03 with total page 737 pages. 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.
