Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to identify critical independent living skills and community-based activities deemed to be important for adults with disabilities who live successfully in community residences in the United States, and evaluate their level of independence on each skill and frequency of participation in each activity. Participants included residential specialists from small community residences (i.e., 8 or less residents) in 26 states who had experience delivering residential services to adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities. A survey was mailed to 1000 residential specialists using a random proportional stratified sampling procedure; 280 completed surveys were used for data analysis. Skill areas addressed in the study included domestic, safety, community, and recreation/leisure. Grooming and hygiene, mealtime behaviors, and safety skills (e.g., medical related items, emergency response items) were the most frequently identified critical skills. Residential specialists indicated that individuals with severe disabilities require assistance on most or some steps of domestic and safety skills, and participate less than monthly in most community activities. Watching TV and shopping were the most frequently performed recreational activities at home and in the community. Type of residential setting, location of residential setting, and hours of in-home support affected residential specialists0́9 ratings of (a) critical domestic and safety skills, (b) critical community activities, (c) level of assistance needed with domestic and safety skills, and (d) frequency of participation in community activities. Behavioral issues were the primary reason for residents to lose their community residential placement.

This book was released on 2018-08-06 with total page 351 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although the general public in the United States assumes children to be generally healthy and thriving, a substantial and growing number of children have at least one chronic health condition. Many of these conditions are associated with disabilities and interfere regularly with children's usual activities, such as play or leisure activities, attending school, and engaging in family or community activities. In their most severe forms, such disorders are serious lifelong threats to children's social, emotional well-being and quality of life, and anticipated adult outcomes such as for employment or independent living. However, pinpointing the prevalence of disability among children in the U.S. is difficult, as conceptual frameworks and definitions of disability vary among federal programs that provide services to this population and national surveys, the two primary sources for prevalence data. Opportunities for Improving Programs and Services for Children with Disabilities provides a comprehensive analysis of health outcomes for school-aged children with disabilities. This report reviews and assesses programs, services, and supports available to these children and their families. It also describes overarching program, service, and treatment goals; examines outreach efforts and utilization rates; identifies what outcomes are measured and how they are reported; and describes what is known about the effectiveness of these programs and services.
