Download or read book Job Success for Persons with Developmental Disabilities written by David B. Wiegan and published by Jessica Kingsley Publishers. This book was released on 2009 with total page 159 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the United States alone, there are roughly three million individuals living with a developmental disability, but less than a third are active in the labor market. This book provides a comprehensive approach to developing a successful jobs program for persons with developmental disabilities, drawn from the author's extensive experience and real success. The majority of persons with developmental disabilities are unemployed, underemployed, or still work in sheltered programs where it is almost impossible to reach their full potential. Job success is possible, but it requires a system based on a business model based on proven economics, rather than the traditional social services model. By employing a step-by-step procedure for gaining insight into the client, analyzing market opportunities, matching the client to a job, and supporting the client after placement, service providers can help individuals make a successful transition into good community-based employment. Job Success for Persons with Developmental Disabilities will be essential reading for profit and non-profit rehabilitation service organizations, private job development businesses, government funding agencies, special education job placement programs, transition specialists, and families of persons with developmental disabilities.

Download or read book DIRECT SUPPORT From a Manager s Viewpoint written by Amara M. Kamara and published by Author House. This book was released on 2014-06-05 with total page 185 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Are you a manager overseeing direct support? Are you new to the field or presently a Direct Support Professional looking for answers? Then this is the book for you! DIRECT SUPPORT from A MANAGER'S VIEWPOINT can help you answer the frequent how-to questions of direct support. Unlike other "working with individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities" and "introduction to disabilities" texts, DIRECT SUPPORT from A MANAGER'S VIEWPOINT offers a different approach because it: ? Explains the how-to of direct support, providing you understanding of routines, of dealing with challenges arising from individual uniqueness, and of an easy-to-master art of engagement in a way that makes practical application possible. ? Demonstrates ways of developing and delivering individualized staff actions, and applying the Opportunity Approach to understand and empower the person served. ? Tackles the harder questions of the capacity-preference disparities, providing you with navigation techniques and the golden rule of deriving preferences. ? Makes it easier to appreciate working with any given direct support situation by providing you ways to initiate and maintain direct interaction through stimulations and opportunity leads. Most other books on "tools and approach" to the field of disabilities only provide general advice. on the other hand, subject specific references offer only policy-centric interpretation of the direct support process, but fail to explain the overall context of what transpires on the ground or provide a problem-solving process. DIRECT SUPPORT from A MANAGER'S VIEWPOINT does all three--it provides the context, the process, and the problem. Written by a manager who grew through the ranks of direct support, this book is an invaluable guide to what really works in direct support. "I had always wondered how my child was being supported by Direct Support Staff until I read this book, and indeed Amara captures the nuts and bolts of the direct support process in the most practical and realistic manner that I have ever encountered. the approaches in the book are structured in a way that affords a seamless understanding of what Direct Support entails. the book left me with a clear sense of knowledge of what Direct Supporters do. As a parent of a child that is a recipient of Direct Support and will be a recipient of it as she progresses in life, I found a sense of comfort in knowing that a manual of this nature may be available to those who choose this noble profession." ---Yuvania J. Espino, Assistant Director, Public Affairs, Harlem Hospital Center, New York, NY. "Direct Support from a Manager's Viewpoint is exactly the resource that I have been searching for all along. This book accomplished a lot in terms of the transferable knowledge that fills each page; the practical relevance of the tools and approaches cannot be understated. I have immediately incorporated some of the information into my staff trainings." --- Raye T. McCollum, Quality Improvement Director, Southeast Bronx Neighborhood Centers, Inc., Bronx, NY "The depth of knowledge and passion put into this book beams out of each page; the way the content is structured is one of its greatest strengths in terms of the manner in which it exemplifies the everyday direct support situations and challenges through scenarios and then provides a very solid tool set that can be used by the DSP to work through the issues. Additionally, the use of graphics to explain the approaches helps make the book more practical. In short, this book is the clearest and most detailed description of the work a DSP must do and the considerations that must be given to that work that I have ever read in 20 years in the field." ---Lore Barcelona, Day Habilitation Coordinator, Sinergia, Inc., New York, NY
Download or read book Neurological Psychiatric and Developmental Disorders written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2001-01-01 with total page 458 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Brain disordersâ€"neurological, psychiatric, and developmentalâ€"now affect at least 250 million people in the developing world, and this number is expected to rise as life expectancy increases. Yet public and private health systems in developing countries have paid relatively little attention to brain disorders. The negative attitudes, prejudice, and stigma that often surround many of these disorders have contributed to this neglect. Lacking proper diagnosis and treatment, millions of individual lives are lost to disability and death. Such conditions exact both personal and economic costs on families, communities, and nations. The report describes the causes and risk factors associated with brain disorders. It focuses on six representative brain disorders that are prevalent in developing countries: developmental disabilities, epilepsy, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression, and stroke. The report makes detailed recommendations of ways to reduce the toll exacted by these six disorders. In broader strokes, the report also proposes six major strategies toward reducing the overall burden of brain disorders in the developing world.
