This book was released on 2020-09-11 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides insights into the experiences of women with physical, mental or sensory disability in terms of their social relationships and social participation, as well as the barriers and facilitators of their physical and social environments in that respect. It will be of interest to academics, health professionals, researchers, and other experts in the field, in addition to persons with disabilities who are exploring ways to overcome barriers they might be facing in terms of social participation. The book includes perspectives of women with disability on social relationships and social participation, as well as an extensive exploration of the current scientific literature. The points made here will contribute to the discussion around the full integration of persons with disabilities, by removing barriers to their social participation and autonomy, together with the strengthening of their social relationships and the social support they receive.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Young female adults with disabilities are at risk for difficult lives. The transition from high school to post-secondary education is fraught with difficulties for disabled persons and research indicates they do not fare as well as their non- disabled peers (Wagner, 1992; Wagner, Newman, Cameto & Levine, 2005). In addition, gender disparities exist when accessing post-secondary education and employment (Hogansen, Power, Geenen, Gil-Kashiwabara & Powers, 2008). Research on transition planning for individuals with disabilities indicates that men are almost twice as likely to have jobs as women, women earn one-half of what men earn, women receive less education than men do, and females are more often single parents than males (Wagner, et al, 2005). Despite the focus on improving transition services and post-secondary outcomes, the research conducted on gender disparities in the last 20 years still remains a concern (Belle, 1990; Fulton & Sabornie, 1994; McGrath, Strickland, Keita & Russo, 1990; and Wagner, 1992). Thus, females with disabilities are at considerable risk while transitioning from high school to employment or post-secondary education. Unfortunately, there is a paucity of research on women with disabilities and what best meets their unique needs for successful academic achievement. The purpose of this study was to determine how perceived social support and intrinsic qualities of women differ among women with a specific learning disability (SLD) and non-disabled women. A demographic questionnaire followed by surveys that measure intrinsic strengths of the individual (Tennessee Self-Concept Scale, TSCS: 2) and perceived social support (Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support, MSPSS) was posted online at Qualtrics SDSU.com and sent to individual women who agreed to participate in the study. Independent t-tests were conducted to compare the means of the two groups of women. Chi-square tests were used to compare answers on the demographic questionnaire. Significant differences were found in the age and income level of respondents with learning disabilities than those of the women with a disability. The self-concept score on the TSCS:2 was also found to be significantly different between the two groups. T-tests conducted on perceived social support were also significantly different.

Download or read book The Oxford Handbook of Positive Psychology and Disability written by Michael L. Wehmeyer and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2013-07-25 with total page 561 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Roughly 54 million people with disabilities live in the U.S., and there are many more millions of people with disabilities around the world. Not surprisingly, differences among and between people with disabilities are often as notable as differences between people with and without disabilities. And, while the lack of homogeneity among people with disabilities makes creating a valid taxonomy under this term difficult, if not impossible, there is commonality among and between people with disabilities that justifies an authoritative resource on positive psychology and disability. That is, they have experienced discrimination and marginalization as a function of their disability. This volume assembles chapters by leading scholars in the fields of disability and positive psychology to provide a comprehensive synthesis of the state of the field of positive psychology and disability. Chapters are organized into thematic sections, beginning with an introductory section providing information on overarching themes in positive psychology and disability. The second section highlights the application of positive psychological constructs to disability, including quality of life, self-determination, adaptive behavior, optimism, hope, problem solving, forgiveness, gratitude, and spirituality. The following section addresses systemic issues in disability that impact positive psychology, again turning to disciplines beyond just psychology (special education, rehabilitation sciences, family, and disability policy) to address areas in which positive psychology can be applied. A fourth section examines positive psychology in specific disabled populations, including physical disabilities, cognitive and developmental disabilities, severe multiple disabilities, emotional and behavioral disabilities, and autism spectrum disorders. Disability has always been associated with "differentness" and, consequently, people with disabilities have, throughout time, been treated as such. As the first handbook to consider disability from a strengths-based perspective, this volume provides a catalyst to accelerate the application of positive psychology with regard to how disability is understood.
