International students at our institutions of higher education have educational and personal needs which extend beyond the classroom. These needs are supposedly provided for by student personnel services, but little data has been collected which examines how international students use student services, and if their use differs significantly from use by American students. If their perceptions of students services and use of these resources does differ, what does that signify? This study measures the use and perceptions of student services by international and American students at Southern Oregon State College. Twenty-one philosophical objectives were examined for levels of importance, effectiveness, and resultant need. A list of twenty resources at the College were compiled and respondents were asked to rate the helpfulness of each resource. Demographic data on students included residence, length of time on campus, involvement in extracurricular activities, and other characteristics and was compared to knowledge of student services resources. International students were asked to identify their English language proficiency and this was compared with their need for student services objectives. All three hypotheses that there would be no differences between American and international students; in their perceptions cf the;:, importance, effectiveness, and helpfulness of student services were rejected at the . 05 level of significance. International students found three objectives to be ineffective, and the focus of these objectives suggested that cultural differences may contribute to student problems. A correlation between self-reported English language proficiency and satisfaction of needs for student services objectives was noted, while no relationship between TOEFL score and satisfaction of needs was found. Southern Oregon State College may want to reconsider its orientation procedures in light of the number of "don't know'' responses from students when asked about a variety of student services. Awareness of student services and the effectiveness of those services for both American and international students are issues which this study aims to help the college address.

The educational needs of Asian Pacific American students in higher education frequently are not addressed because of being viewed as a "model minority." Thus, student services and academic support programs are oftentimes not appropriately provided for Hmong students. This study was conducted at California State University, Sacramento to determine the student service and academic support needs of currently enrolled Hmong students, whether or not the services were available, and the factors which contributed to their academic success or failure. The qualitative case study method was utilized so that an in-depth understanding of the situation could be determined. A purposive or criterion-based sampling method was used to identify twenty-two currently enrolled Hmong students. Personal interviews were conducted using an interview guide (Appendix B). The data obtained through the taped interviews were transcribed and the Microsoft Excel computerized statistical software was used. The information was retrieved for an in-depth analysis for text interpretation and theory building. The University provides a comprehensive range of student services and academic support programs, however, only approximately one-half of the services were known to the students. The programs or services which focused on Hmong students, and provided financial, advising and tutoring services were viewed as most beneficial. A majority (50 percent) of the students felt uncomfortable, unaccepted, detached, and not part of the campus community. A higher percentage of males (60 percent) expressed these feelings, and were more critical and less positive than the females. A significant number of students stated that their English as a second language and math needs were being met. Overall, it appears that the students have performed academically at an acceptable level. The Hmong University Student Association provided a culturally and academically supportive environment. An additional key service the University could provide is a more effective method of disseminating information on availability of services. Recommendations for future research include: determine whether or not peer support and study groups enable ethnic students, particularly Hmong students, to persist and do better academically; and reasons for Hmong students leaving the University.

Thesis (MPhil)--University of Stellenbosch, 2000.ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Continuing Professional Education (CPE) is a method by means of which radiographers and other health care professionals can systematically maintain, improve and broaden their knowledge and skills. Chances are that mandatory CPE will be introduced for South African radiographers by the year 200t. For this reason it was decided to undertake a needs assessment survey of Free State Province diagnostic radiographers. The aim of this study wasto assess the perceived needs of Free State Province radiographers. In this way adults, as consumers of CPE, were involved in the planning process. Results obtained from the needs assessment provide valuable information to providers of CPE activities. With the aid of the results, providers can plan activities responsibly, which will satisfy their target population. The needs assessment was done by means of a maH-administered questionnaire-, and a response rate of 58% was obtained. Data analyses showed that most of the radiographers were employed in small x-ray departments and, due to this fact, experienced constraints regarding CPE participation. Constraints such as staff shortages and a lack of backup staff were identified. New developments-in radiography, management skills, computer skills and UUrasound were tbe topic areas indicated by the highest percentage of respondents as high level of need areas. Flexible learning strategies- with adequate support mechanisms must be developed. In order to provide high-quality CPE activities, all stakeholders, such as the Technikon Free State, the Society of Radiographers, the employers- and the radiographers, must share the- respon-sibHity of CPE. The study showed that close co-operation between stakeholders is essential to the success of CPE in the Free- State Province,
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Voortgesette Professionele Onderwys (VPO) is 'n strategie wat radiograwe en ánder protessionele gesondheidsorgwerkers in staat stelom hulle kennis en vaardighede sistematies in stand te hou, te verbeter en uit te brei. Die-moonUikheid Destaan dat Suid-Afrikaanse radiograwe teen die jaar 2001 verplig sal word om aan VPO deel te neem. Om hierdie rede is daar besluit om 'n behoeftebepalingsopname van die- diagnastiese radiograwe in die Vrystaat Provinsie te doen. Die doel van hierdie studie was om die behoeftes van die Vrystaat Provinsie se radiograwe-, soos deur hulle self geïdentifiseer, te bepaal. Op hierdie manier kon radiograwe, as verbruikers van VPO, by die beplanningsproses betrek word. Die- resultate- van die behoeftebepalingsopname wat bekom is, bevat waardevolle inligting vir verskaffers van VPO-aktiwiteite. Met behulp van die resultate sal verskaffers van VPO-aktfwiteite wat hulle-teikengroep se- behoeftes sal bevredig, met verantwoordelikheid kan beplan. Die behoeftebepaling is met behulp van pos- vraelyste gedoen. 'n Respons van 58% is verkry. Data-ontleding het getoon dat die meeste van die radiograwe werksaam was in klein x-straaldepartemente wat gevolglik bygedra het dat hulle beperkinge met betrekking tot VPObetrokkenheid ervaar het. Ander struikelblokke soos personeeltekorte en 'n gebrek aan aflospersoneel is geïdentifiseer. Nuwe ontwikkelinge- in radiografie, bestuursvaardighede, rekenaarvaardighede en Ultraklank is deur die grootste persentasie respondente as die areas waarin die grootste behoefte bestaan, geïdentifiseer. Buigsame leerstrategieë met toereikende ondersteuningsmeganismes moet ontwikkel word. Om hoë gehalte VPO-aktiwiteite te verskaf moet alle- belangegroepe, onder andere- die Technikon Vrystaat, die Vereniging van Radiograwe, die werkgewers en die radiograwe self gesamentlik die verantwoordelikheid vir VPO deel. Die- studie- toon dat noue samewerking tussen belangegroepe noodsaaklik is vir die sukses van VPO in die Vrystaat Provinsie.

Addressing inequities in health both within and between countries has attracted considerable global attention in recent years. In theory, equity remains one of the key policy objectives of health systems and underpins the allocation of health sector resources in many countries. In practice, however, current evidence demonstrates that only limited progress has been made in terms of bridging the health inequity gap and improving the health of the least advantaged. The persistence of inequities in health and health outcomes raises concerns about how governments and health authorities distribute limited health resources to improve the health of the poor and most vulnerable and thereby promote equity. This thesis is about equity and allocation of financial resources in the health system of New South Wales, one of the eight states of Australia. It investigated the extent to which there has been a movement towards equity in resource allocation to Area Health Services under the NSW Health Resource Distribution Formula and whether this has been reflected in equitable resource allocation within Area Health Services. It considered only resources allocated through the NSW Department of Health. The study employed a combination of qualitative and quantitative methods to gather and analyse data. The qualitative component analysed data gathered through semistructured interviews with policy makers, health executives, managers, and other stakeholders to establish the resource allocation processes and the factors upon which the allocation decisions were based. The quantitative component analysed health expenditure and health needs data to assess the extent to which allocation of resources from the State to Area Health Service levels has been equitable in terms of reflecting the level of health needs. Two indices were constructed and used as proxies for health needs. Principal component analysis was used in the construction of one of the indices, using demographic, socioeconomic and health-related data. The other index was developed using a combination of premature mortality and morbidity data. The quantitative study spans the two decades 1989/90 to 2006/07, with a more detailed analysis of material for the years 2003/04 to 2006/07. The findings of the study show a considerable degree of inequity in resource allocation with several Area Health Services (AHSs) receiving less than a fair share of funding for the years analysed, although some movements towards equity were evident. This contradicts the general impression that the introduction of the resource distribution formula in NSW has significantly improved equity in resource allocation. In general, funding allocation at the State level correlated significantly with population size but not with health needs of the eight AHSs in NSW. Similarly, within the AHSs, allocation of funds was based on programs and services and not on health needs. Key issues that emerged from the qualitative data as affecting the equity with which health funds are allocated in the NSW health system include limited use of the resource distribution formula at the state level, lack of an effective resource allocation tool to guide the distribution of funds within AHSs, and insufficient emphasis on equity at the AHS level. It is crucial that these and several other issues identifies in the study are addressed if current inequities in funding and in health outcomes generally are to be effectively reduced.

This thesis is a result of a research conducted during three months in four State Protected Conservation Units in the State of Amazonas in Brazil. The world‟s largest PES-program - Programa Bolsa Floresta, will serve as case study. The aim of the study is to identify the socio-environmental conditions under which the program is implemented and, to study if the program architecture is in coherence with the livelihood needs of the target group-, and the needs to protect the rain forest. The target group of the program are the river dwellers, “ribeirinhos”, living in extremely isolated areas being excluded from the public safety net of the Brazilian Government.A basic understanding of the livelihood situation was achieved through the use of systematic collection of empirical data. A combination of qualitative semi-structured interviews, quantitative literature reviews and triangulation of data compose the methodological base of the study. The holistic and human centered theoretical framework of Carney‟s Sustainable Livelihood Approach (SLA) laid the theoretical base of the study.Based upon the baseline study made over the local conditions and the context description this study recognizes that the programs architecture is coherent with the most basic needs of the ribeirinhos as well as the need to protect the forest. Due to the programs few years in execution it is hard to determine long-term impacts of the program at this stage. However, even being in an early stage, the program seems to be a potential key mechanism to build the foundation for future sustainable development in the region. The object of the program is to put value on the Environmental Services (ES) provided by the locals and by doing so, compensate them for their loss of capital. The program is designed holistically, i.e. its components include all five capital assets of the SLA framework. The payments given as compensations aim to advocate participatory, social organizational, educative, and self-reliance promoting methods, such as incentives to an alternative income, construction of schools, improved infrastructure, investments in water filters, means for communication, health programs in schools and ambulance boats.

Thesis, University of Hull, 1995. http://hydra.hull.ac.uk/resources/hull:7025.
Der volle Inhalt der QuelleAnnotation:
The education of children with various disabilities has attracted the attention of educational planners and curriculum developers in many countries of the world especially among the developed countries. Appropriate legislation, provision of facilities, and the training of specialist physical education teachers are some of the measures taken in some countries. In Nigeria as in most developing countries, the physical educational needs of children with disabilities has not received due attention, and the result is that Special Educational Needs children in schools are almost forgotten in the planning and implementation of school physical education programmes. The need to integrate them into school programmes is an important measure that should receive adequate consideration. The main purpose of this study is to evaluate forms of Inservice Education and Training (INSET) programmes for teachers and consider how these programmes can be improved to provide teachers with adequate knowledge and skills for the integration of children with physical disability into primary school physical education lessons. An experimental design was adopted for this study. In the design a sample of 100 teachers was drawn from the teachers' population in 5 primary schools in the Kaduna state of Nigeria. The same was divided into three groups of control (40), comparison (40) and experimental (20). All groups received the initial questionnaire, but the comparison and experimental groups received varying degrees of interventions by way of additional information on the practice of educational integration. The intervention for the comparison group was in the form of a booklet which contained an outline of SEN pupils' needs in physical education. Teachers in the experimental group received an intervention which included teaching demonstrations for children with physical disability in P. E. and the same booklets given to teachers in the comparison group. In addition, interviews and discussions with teachers were carried out as well as observation of physical education lessons in order to supplement data collection strategies. The purpose of these measures was to assess the impact of interventions introduced on attitudes, knowledge and skills of teachers regarding integration and to compare their opinions on these variables before and after the interventions. The questionnaire used for collecting information from teachers involved in the study was designed using a 5-point Likert type scale. Teachers' self-ratings on attitude, skills and knowledge of integration have been analysed using mean, standard deviation and student t- distribution test statistics using an SPSS PC computer analysis of data. Information gathered through observation and interviews have been analysed qualitatively. The main findings of the study related to the demographic characteristics of teachers working with SEN pupils in physical education who responded to the questionnaires, the attitude of the teachers to in-service training, their knowledge of the practice of integration, possession of relevant skills for working with Special Educational Needs children in a mainstream setting, awareness of the obstacles to mainstream education, and the need for collaborative efforts with parents and other professionals in order to achieve the objectives of programme of integration. Some of the conclusions reached were that there was an urgent need to recruit more qualified physical education teachers, and prepare them specifically for the role in catering for children with SEN so that, programmes of integration can be more effectively planned and implemented in Nigerian schools. Those responsible for teachers' education should be made aware of the need to provide further training to develop more knowledge and skills that may help them to cope with the new challenges of programmes of integration. Essentially, there is need to create a general awareness among educational planners, curriculum developers, policy makers, and physical education teachers of the importance of integrating children with physical disability into the mainstream physical education lessons so that educational provision in Nigeria can be seen to be fair and non-discriminatory to both able-bodied and disabled pupils. The focus of this study is also on providing teachers with the necessary knowledge and skills in order to enable them to cater for a wide range of children with special educational needs who may be attending ordinary schools in Nigeria and in the Kaduna state in particular. The term 'special educational needs' referred to in the thesis covers a wide range of children with disabilities including the amputees, moderate learning difficulties, movement difficulties, those with certain medical conditions(e. g. asthma, diabetes, epilepsy) and those with emotional and behavioural disorders. These are the types of children with special needs whom teachers in ordinary schools in the Kaduna state of Nigeria may have to provide for in their physical education lessons. Any reference to children with physical disability in particular is in relation to specific programmes of physical education designed specifically for those with physical handicaps or impairment. Reference to physical disability is therefore not used as an alternative term to special educational needs but when in particular referring to this specific form of special needs. Case studies of some of these children were carried out during the course of this study and reports shown in appendix S. Also, suggested programmes that would enable SEN children to participate in physical education lessons alongside their ablebodied peers have been provided in appendix 2.

In the United States traditionally many children have gone unserved. This has been partly due to barriers in accessing services and the result of a fragmented and disorganized system of care. However, in the last two decades substantial progress has been made in adressing these problems. This article reviews the need for children's mental health services in the United States, and describes recent attempts to improve coordination and access to the children's mental health service system. The introduction of systems of care, the expansion of school-based services, and innovations in the provision of community services are discussed.Aún cuando en los Estados Unidos existe gran demanda de servicios de salud mental infantil, tradicionalmente muchos niños no han sido atendidos adecuadamente. Esto, en parte, se debe a los obstáculos en el acceso a los servicios y al resultado de un sistema de cuidado fragmentado y desorganizado. Sin embargo, en las últimas dos décadas se ha alcanzado un progreso sustancial en la manera de encarar estos problemas. Este artículo revisa la demanda de servicios de salud mental infantil que existe en los Estados Unidos y describe intentos recientes para mejorar la coordinación y el acceso al sistema de servicio de salud mental infantil. Se discuten la introducción de sistemas de cuidado, la expansión de servicios basados en la escuela y las innovaciones en la provisión de servicios a la comunidad.

The mental health needs of patients entering the program at ward one, Valkenberg Hospital, are not routinely measured. Their presenting problems are frequently complicated by basic and social needs, which impact on recovery and re-integration into the community. The Camberwell Assessment of Need is a valid and reliable instrument used to measure the mental health needs of psychiatric patients. In this study, this instrument was used with some modifications to assess the needs of patients on admission to ward one. At discharge, these needs were explored to measure the extent to which services and interventions were useful in meeting those needs. Where not, questions aimed at elucidating impediments to care were asked. All 60 patients completing the program agreed to participate. The average number of total needs on admission was 9.2, which included an average of 6.7 unmet needs. Psychiatric needs were the most commonly reported, with a need in the area of "depression" being declared in 59 patients. Help received prior to admission was scant, and patients had high expectations of ward one. Help received from ward one was highest in areas of psychiatric needs, with 89.8% of patients receiving moderate or high help in the area of depression. More than two-thirds of patients reported receiving low help in basic areas such as accommodation, self-care, and sexual expression. The services most often regarded as useful were organised group activities and therapies. Paired t-tests revealed that the patients without borderline personality had more unmet needs on admission. Regression analysis suggests that younger age and lower level of education confer a greater risk of unmet needs on admission and discharge. The routine use of a needs assessment instrument is recommended as an aid to guide clinicians. Attention needs to be given to basic and social needs, such as accommodation, daily activities and company, prior to admission to hospital. Where these needs persist, the active involvement of a social worker and occupational therapist is suggested. The high numbers of unmet needs in domains other than psychiatric problems, requires the input of the multidisciplinary team.

Introduction There is a paucity of knowledge regarding adolescent's preferences for care. The health related problems they face have implications for individuals and nations. Objectives To determine the health problems and needs of adolescents, their knowledge, use of, and preferences for health related services and service providers. Study design A descriptive study involving a two-stage probability sample. An interview schedule was designed for data collection. Setting Eight randomly selected main-stream high schools in Stoke-on-Trent, England. Subjects One hundred and eleven males and 142 females aged 14 and 15 years between 1 st April and 30th June 1994. Results The adolescents had unmet problems and needs relating to lifestyle and risk-taking behaviour, sexual and reproductive health, and emotional problems, influenced by socio-economic and legislative factors. Services were used primarily for physical problems. Knowledge of the location and opening times of two local contraceptive services for adolescents was poor (10/253,4%). Factors they associated with confidentiality were identified. Preferences for service providers varied with the nature of the problem. The girls were more likely to give advice to peers regarding substance abuse, and issues relating to sexual and reproductive health, and expressed a greater preference for advice from peers on these issues. The services the adolescents wanted to see provided were appropriate to their needs and reflected a holistic concept of health. Conclusions • The Health of the Nation targets will not be met unless these problems and needs are addressed. • Potential intervention points for health promotion are being missed. • Local services must be widely advertised. • Adolescents need specific reassurance from service providers that their care will be confidential. • Positive actions adolescents are prepared to take need reinforcing. • Peer counselling programmes might be expected to have a greater positive impact on girls. • Adolescents' opinions regarding service provision must be taken into account.

Foster children are already at a disadvantage given that they tend to live in a home without their parents. Social workers have direct interactions working with children with special needs, and through interviews with the workers, we aimed to understand whether or not the services available are able to meet foster children’s special needs. The research on special needs children in foster care is quite limited. The purpose of the study was to identify social workers’ perceptions of the needs of special needs foster children and their access to services.
This study used qualitative interviews with open-ended questions to gather qualitative data from ten social worker participants. The researchers employed thematic analysis techniques to analyze the qualitative data. The themes that emerged from analyzing the data were social workers’ challenges in providing services to special needs foster children, social workers’ access to services, and the need for institutional support to effectively manage service delivery for special needs foster children. This study found that social workers face challenges in obtaining training for parents and social workers, navigating complex funding processes, managing inconsistent desires between parents and court officials, and dealing with the limited number of capable foster homes. The social workers interviewed identified different tactics that could be implemented in order to improve services for the special needs foster children through changes and improvements within the department. Understanding large-scale policy and practice issues, such as organizational change or resource management, can lead county agency social workers to advocate for the challenges of special needs children in child welfare.

Seniors 75 years of age and older, the majority of whom live in the community, constitute a segment of the population that is vulnerable to loss of autonomy. Indeed many community dwelling seniors have difficulty performing daily living activities, such as bathing, toileting, walking, preparing meals and housekeeping.In the setting of a population based cohort study of community-dwelling seniors 75 years of age or older, we examined the effect of unmet needs for community services for activities of daily living (ADL) and instrumental activities of daily living (IADL) on health services utilization. Self-perceived unmet need status was determined using a baseline in-home interview. A total of 839 subjects were recruited from the Greater Montreal Region, Quebec, Canada, using random telephone number dialling.
Health services utilization data were obtained from administrative databases from the Quebec Health Insurance Board (Regie de l'Assurance-Maladie du Quebec - RAMQ). Multivariable negative binomial regression models were used to examine the association between unmet need status and health services utilization during the six month period following the baseline interview.
The results of this study indicate that unmet needs are associated with higher rates of emergency department visits, hospitalization and prescription drug use. No statistically significant association was found between unmet needs and physician utilization among single seniors, although married seniors with unmet needs in activities of daily living had 2.8 times the rate of medical specialist visits as compared to those who reported no unmet ADL needs.
Unmet need for community services among the elderly has implications for the use of more expensive acute and long-term health care services. The results of this research suggest that developing programs to address unmet needs in the elderly population can potentially reduce health services utilization by the elderly.

The purpose of this study was to determine the service needs being met and the needs not being met as perceived by the chronically homeless who call the park their home. The authors thought this an important study to examine to better understand the service needs of the homeless. The study used a qualitative design for collecting data which involved face-to-face interviews with ten of the homeless people at the park. Four primary themes, three of which had two subthemes each, were identified through a thematic analysis. The primary theme of mistrust of services had subthemes of safety and restrictions and ineffective services. The primary theme of services needed was subdivided into problem identified and potential solutions. The families theme contained subthemes fractured families and park community as family. The theme of hopelessness did not have any subthemes. It was concluded that research should continue in this field and funding should be used to focus on providing services as specified through these themes.

This document is a review of literature on needs assessments and the benefits of conducting one. Communicare is a mental health agency that serves the Lincoln Trail Region. Currently, most of the revenue from their children programs comes from Medicaid, which is a fee-for-services payer source. The Kentucky Medicaid Program is in the process of contracting with managed care organizations to oversee services that have been paid directly from Kentucky Medicaid. With these changes, mental health organizations must identify specific community service needs as well as expanding revenue sources. Applying for grants is one way mental health agencies can expand revenue sources. Communicare has identified the KY SEED grant that focuses on prevention and providing services to early childhood programs as a potential funding source. A needs assessment was conducted to gather information on children services implemented by Communicare. It was conducted in order to assess current programs and seek out potential areas of future program growth. The needs assessment further sought to identify gaps in services for the early childhood programs and assist in the grant application process. A review of existing data on children’s services offered at Communicare, including a satisfaction survey and a System of Care Assessment Report, was conducted as part of the needs assessment. A Community Forum with community partners from the Lincoln Trail region was held to gather additional data for the needs assessment.

Emergency Medical Services (EMS) is an institution and product of public health, health care, and public safety that is chopped and scattered across multiple jurisdictional deployment methodologies throughout Arizona. To fully-asses the EMS needs of the state, those jurisdictions are considered as a whole; for it is the whole that makes a system, and a system is what truly impacts patient outcomes. Evaluating the ""whole"" is the genesis and driver of the 2016 Arizona Statewide EMS Needs Assessment (ASENA).
The primary objective of ASENA is to establish a current ""snap-shot"" of EMS in the state while simultaneously identifying needs and/or areas that can be targeted for further analysis and/or improvement as part of Population Health Management and Emergency Medical Services Integration under the AZ Flex Grant funded by the U.S. Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA). In addition, the secondary objective of ASENA is to compare and contrast this current ""snap-shot"" with data obtained in a more narrow needs assessment conducted in 2001, allowing comparison of changes in Arizona's critical access EMS system over 15 years.
To accomplish this, a 105-question needs assessment survey tool was developed and distributed to EMS agencies throughout the state. The fully-vetted survey tool collected information pertaining to sixteen core functional sections. Eighty-six agencies fully-completed the needs assessment survey tool, with respondents evenly distributed across the state's four EMS coordinating regions and representative of the various service-delivery methodologies. The combined service areas of the respondents cover over 85% of the state's population.
Arizona's statewide EMS system is well organized and positioned to deliver advanced levels of prehospital care for the vast majority of its citizens and visitors, with some variation between urban and rural regions. Key needs identified relate to: patient care reporting between EMS providers, emergency departments and receiving hospitals; quality assurance activities; education and skills training programs; dispatch system capabilities; mass casualty and public health preparedness; equipment and supplies; and more robust use of data and analyses to inform continuous EMS system improvement.

Since the establishment of a democratically elected multi-party government in 1990, the need for advancing a national educational program has been evident if Nepal is to rise above its present poverty status. This dissertation provides a description of the existing status, the needs, and future proposals concerning special education for exceptional students in Nepal. The purpose of this study was to conduct a needs assessment for the delivery of special education services in Nepal. Specifically, this study provides: (a) a national overview of the status of special education services in Nepal; (b) a description of the specific issues with which school administrators are faced in trying to serve exceptional children and youth, and (c) recommendations for the future. The review of the literature addresses the limited Nepalese data and information on: (a) prevalence of exceptional school-age population; (b) the legal status of special education; and (c) exceptional students being served. The major components of comprehensive special education programs were discussed including: (a) the purposes of special education; (b) the alternative kinds of special education services; and (c) the organization of special education services. The methodology for this study included a description of a conceptual model; unit of analysis; subjects selection; instrumentation, data collection methods; and data analysis procedures. The results described the current status and needs of special education services in all seventy five school districts of Nepal. Interviews and questionnaires were used to collect data from district education officers. These data presented the responses of the district education officers regarding the: types and numbers of children with exceptionalities identified, served, and not served; the kinds of personnel and programs provided; operating procedures; barriers; and administrators' suggestions for improving services. The recommendations from this study included: information about strong and weak areas in existing services and needs to improve the special education services; a new model for the delivery of services; and suggestions for effecting further action. This study concluded with comments on the feasibility of implementing a national plan, with particular attention to the establishment of a nationwide delivery procedure for Nepalese children with special education needs.

A Work Project, presented as part of the requirements for the Award of a Masters Degree in Management from the NOVA – School of Business and EconomicsReflecting an increased interest in service design and service science, this study develops a perspective that unites the Service Dominant Logic, the principles of service design and the foundations of market orientation in a triangular relationship. In this approach, the premises of the SD logic are used to provide support and structure to the principles of service design and market orientation. This perspective is used as a backdrop for the discovery of latent needs. Using an unconventional sample of primary school pupils, customer journey maps and critical incidents were created. The application of these service design tools generated insights into their needs, which could be categorized into themes and-overarching value dimensions. Four dimensions of value were uncovered, namely a Physical, Social, Utilitarian and Hedonic Dimension. The analysis of the correlation of these themes and dimensions leads the development of a number of propositions regarding their relationships.
