Abstract:
Purpose – The social climate of psychiatric institutions correlates with multiple outcomes related to staff and patients. Research into social climate in Learning Disability services is limited. Staff and patients in Learning Disability services have documented both positive and negative experiences. No research has directly compared the social climate of Learning Disability and non-Learning Disability psychiatric services. The purpose of this paper is to understand how these compare. The study will also compare staff and patient views of social climate and the impact of security on social climate in Learning Disability services. Design/methodology/approach – A total of 64 patients and 73 staff, from Learning Disability and non-Learning Disability psychiatric hospitals completed the Essen Climate Evaluation Schema (EssenCES) measure of social climate. Findings – Patients in Learning Disability and non-Learning Disability services did not differ in their perceptions of social climate. Staff in non-Learning Disability services had a more positive perception of social climate than staff in Learning Disability services. Patients and staff did not differ in their views on climate. Security was negatively related to patients’ Experienced Safety. Originality/value – The findings suggest that staff perceive that the deficits associated with Learning Disabilities may limit patients’ therapeutic experience and relationships with their peers. Despite this, patients with Learning Disabilities feel supported by their peers, have positive views of the treatment process and feel as safe as non-Learning Disabled psychiatric patients.

Abstract:
Section one of this thesis presents a systematic literature review which investigated the experiences of people with an intellectual disability of psychological talking therapy. Ten studies were included and reviewed. Eight main themes and three sub themes emerged. Developing new positive relationships along with learning new skills and confidentiality were important to people with intellectual disabilities. Negative aspects of therapy including both interpersonal problems with others in a group setting as well as process issues were difficult as was therapy itself. Clinical and theoretical implications are discussed. Section two reports the findings from a qualitative, thematic analysis of staff's understanding of the concept of compassion. Ten participants who directly worked with people with intellectual disabilities in community support setting were recruited and took part in semi-structured interviews. Four themes emerged. The themes from the research mapped onto the appraisal model of compassion that could be used by services to support a compassionate culture. The third section is the critical appraisal which provides reflections on the research process and a discussion of compassion in care. The fourth section contains the ethics application and approval documents for this thesis.

Abstract:
For women with anorexia nervosa, control and routine are important in managing distress and maintaining a sense of self in challenging situations. The transition to motherhood is characterised by change and uncertainty. Women may struggle to integrate the demands of anorexia alongside the challenges of motherhood. The aim of this thesis was to review the literature regarding the experiences of pregnancy and motherhood for women with eating disorders and develop a grounded theory of the transition to motherhood for women with anorexia nervosa. The literature regarding experiences of pregnancy and motherhood with an eating disorder was reviewed. The findings suggested a trend for remission of eating disorder symptoms in pregnancy followed by relapse during the postpartum period. Women with eating disorders were most likely to experience depression and anxiety during the later stages of pregnancy and postpartum. The review highlighted how eating disorders impacted on women's ability to embrace motherhood and bond with their children. There was a paucity of research exploring the lived experience of motherhood for women with specific eating difficulties, most notably anorexia. A grounded theory was informed by the experiences of eight mothers with anorexia. A core process of breaking the cycle highlighted how women were attempting to make lasting positive changes. They achieved this by protecting their children from anorexia, exploring new perspectives, setting a good example to their children and battling temptation to succumb to anorexia. This study provides a unique insight into the experiences of mothers with anorexia. In the final chapter the research process is reflected upon. It is hoped that these findings will influence clinical practice and help professionals to better understand women's experiences.

Abstract:
Legislation concerning California residents with intellectual and developmental disabilities (ID/DD) requires recipients of services to be treated as independent individuals while emphasizing self-determination. At the same time, under regulatory procedures, recipients are considered dependent on the delivered services and not self-determinant. Neither the California Department of Developmental Services nor the trade associations representing community service providers have established a unified, systematic practice to support self-determination. This phenomenological study explored the experience of adults with ID/DD working toward self-determination. Specifically, it explored how medical and social models contribute to shaping and actualizing the independence of this population. Interviews with eight adults with ID/DD explored the perceived barriers to, and opportunities for, achieving independence through self-determination. Under the current statutory regulations, the study viewed two conceptual lenses. The first lens, social role valorization, is based on the study of normalization. The second lens, social reaction, emphasizes a response to the disparities that acknowledge the political, cultural, and social beliefs associated with theories of deviance and social role valorization. The findings demonstrated that self-determination requires collaboration between coordinated services, primary social systems, and theoretical services supporting social role value. The discovery of these key elements may help California's disability service system fulfill legislative requirements to increase opportunities for personal choice.

Abstract:
This thesis examines collaboratively impoverished frameworks currently existing in services, and then presents a framework within which it is possible to work towards an ethically informed, collaborative engagement between people who have as a common interest, a person with an intellectual disability. The thesis explores three themes that are of great significance to both service providers and other participants in their relation to people with intellectual disability - those of personal identity, advocacy and self-advocacy. The relative impotence of service providers in being able to deal with structural problems concerning these themes, in the absence of a genuinely collaborative endeavor which is driven from an adequately resourced and motivated community base, is demonstrated. Critiques of services offered from philosophical positions are considered. Service models and philosophies adopted as a response to these critiques demonstrate, in their application, the difficulties that services have in operationalizing a pro-active ethical agenda. In considering these philosophies, the power and the role of services in constructing and maintaining devaluing and oppressive meanings associated with the phrase '0person with an intellectual disability' itself, is emphasised. Various ethical discourses are examined and it is shown that these, when undertaken within frameworks of understanding which take the autonomous, rational individual as the subject of the discourse, fail to offer sufficient guidance in the pursuit of the wellbeing of, and respect for, people with intellectual disability. This poses a central issue that any collaborative engagement between stakeholders needs to decide - the status as persons of people with intellectual disability. The issue of ambivalence towards this status, which services seem to perpetuate, poses the central practical question: how is it possible to decisively resolve this ambivalence in favour of the full personhood and humanity of those who are labeled as having intellectual disability? A current service philosophy, Social role Valorisation (SRV), is discussed in considerable detail, to demonstrate the need for this philosophy to be situated in an explicitly ethical framework, in which personhood is acknowledged in all its strangeness, difference and relational diversity, if it is to be utilised collaboratively. The explicit socially normative under-pinning of SRV is shown to reinforce the 'non-person' status of those who fail to meet these normative criteria for acceptance. Thus SRV may on occasions be instrumentally directed to harmful outcomes. The intent of SRV is to protect the life of devalued people, as persons, so there is a need for a more explicitly ethical formulation. The contention of the thesis is that the nature of 'what is valued' with and for people with intellectual disability may only be determined collaboratively, in the context of relationships which give recognition to their intrinsic value as persons, not by reference to some abstract set of social norms. What this intrinsic value is however, can not be according to the attributes selected by some philosophers - autonomy and rationality - as being the essential defining characteristics of persons. Rather, intrinsic value must be a relational concept, derived from those who have a relationship with those with intellectual disability, directed to their respect and wellbeing. for a person with an intellectual disability, to be in relationship with people of such favourable dispositions is of vital importance. Yet it is also important that such people are afforded the recognition, from those less intimately involved, but who exercise power in the situation, that these relationships are the basis for defining social space and place for people who do not fit easily into the system. To be a person with intellectual disability therefore is dependent on the right to be in relationships of interdependency with others, and not be excluded socially as 'defective' because one is not autonomous. The nature of this interdependency, this anti-individualism, as a valid expression of humanity can only be supported through a collaborative engagement.

Abstract:
According to Adams' (1965) equity theory. individuals determine how fairly they are being treated in relationships by comparing their ratio of inputs and rewards with those of a comparison other. A small number of studies on staff working in services for people with learning disabilities (LD) have utilised this theory, A review of these studies found a number of theoretical and methodological issues that require investigation. The aim of the current study was to address these issues. Specifically, its main aims were to (I) find out what inputs and rewards are relevant to LD service staff and who they compare themselves to (2) develop and evaluate a detailed measure of staff equity perceptions that is suitable for LD service staff - The Equity Perception Scale - Learning Disability Service (EPS-LDS) - and (3) expand on previous research by investigating whether staff equity perceptions are associated with a number of variables that have not previously been investigated within the context of LD services (i.e. performance, job satisfaction and organisational commitment). Data was collected using a combination of qualitative and quantitative methods (i.e. semi-structured interviews (n=; 15), focus groups (n = 7) and postal questionnaires (n = 143)) and data analysis procedures (e.g. template analysis and non-parametric statistical tests). A wide range of inputs, outcomes and comparison others were identified. Overall, the EPS-LDS was found to possess acceptable internal consistency reliability, construct validity and criterion validity. The overall test-retest reliability of the measure, however, was found to be unsatisfactory. Staff equity perceptions were found to be associated with performance. job satisfaction and organisational commitment. Possible explanations for some of the findings are forwarded. The results are discussed in terms of their implications for research and practice. Directions for future research are proposed.

Abstract:
The purpose of this research study was to investigate perceptions and activities of disability support program administrators in Florida community colleges regarding program administration and evaluation. The study further sought to document if any relationships existed between selected organizational and staffing characteristics and the program's ability to follow an established set of standards for program administration and evaluation. A total of 25 disability support administrators (89.3% response rate) completed a phone survey designed for this study. The study revealed that there were many inconsistencies among the higher education disability support programs in regard to programming, staffing and data collecting activities. The common denominator for determining the extent of data collection being performed within the responding community colleges appeared to be the Florida Department of Education, specifically the criteria requested annually by the Division of Community Colleges and Workforce Education. At all of the institutions surveyed, data collection activities were concentrated on numerical student data and did not consistently include program evaluation information. Finally, administrator training in program evaluation was positively associated with the responding disability support program's ability to participate in program evaluation activities. This study concluded with discussion of proposed recommendations for disability support administrators in the Florida community colleges.

Abstract:
The paper concentrate on problems connected with problems of peoples with disability. The main aims of the paper is to measure the level of quality of service in the case of architectural barriers in municipal offices by peoples in disability. We made following hypothesis: the types of disability significantly affects the perception of quality of services in municipal office regarding architectural barrier. The problem of satisfaction of people with disability in the case of architectural barriers in municipal office in Sosnowiec was analyzed from type of disability point of view. We distinguished five main types of disability in the paper: sensory impairment – a lack, damage or disorder of sensory analysers’ function (this category includes the blind, the visually impaired, the deaf, hard of hearing persons and people with visual and auditory perception disorders); intellectual impairment – mental retardation; social functioning impairment – disorders of neural and emotional balance; communication impairment – hindered verbal contact (speech impediments, autism, stammering); motor impairment – people with motor organ dysfunction. On the basis of that are discussed in this publication the research, we can conclude that the overall assessment of architectural barriers for people with disabilities is as in the case of the Municipal Office in Sosnowiec at an average level. The problems focus mainly on matters of specialized service selected groups of customers with disabilities who require further elaboration. Another type of problem is to issue a limited number of parking spaces for the disabled, but for objective reasons, it will be difficult to solve. Also we can say that the assessment of the architectural barriers by peoples with various types of disability vary significantly. The architectural barriers are the problem especially for people with motor disabilities – those persons are going to municipal office often and because of type of their disability barriers within the office and near the office is the big problem for them. The results are supporting the hypothesis that the type of disability affects perception of architectural barriers by peoples with disabilities.

Abstract:
Social Security Benefits paid to the blind in the State of California cost tens of millions of dollars annually. In order to ensure that only the truly deserving receive benefits, strictly enforced criteria have been devised. Qualifications for disability based on blindness are determined by the Department of Social Services and the Disability Evaluation Department (1979). Qualifications include bilateral total ophthalmoplegia, visual field loss in which the widest diameter subtends an angle no greater than 20° and loss of central vision where visual acuity in the better eye after correction is 20/200 or worse.

Abstract:
Many adults with autism have a difficult time achieving employment, continued education, and independent living. This report explores the experiences of adults with ASD who used services funded through state Developmental Disability (DD) agencies in 2014-15. We learn more about their characteristics, the quality of their lives, the opportunities they have to participate in their communities, their ability to exercise choice in their lives, and their access to needed services.

Abstract:
This literature review draws from Australian and international research into the impact of remote learning for students with disability, published between March 2020 and April 2022. The literature relates to pedagogical services provided by early childhood services and schools to support students with disability, rather than therapeutic services. The social implications for students are reviewed along with educational factors, and implications for inclusion and support by schools. Following an overview of the legal and policy frameworks supporting the education of students with disability, this review investigates benefits, challenges and opportunities for both remote learning and transition back to in-person educational settings for students and their families. The themes emerging include flexible approaches to learning, connectedness and wellbeing.

Abstract:
COVID-19 pandemic and associated national responses have had ramifications for societies around the world, including South Africa. The marginalisation of people with disabilities is well documented in pre-COVID times, and emerging evidence suggests that the crisis has made this worse, as well as presenting new challenges for people with disabilities. This paper presents a review of published research and grey literature of relevance to the proven or anticipated socio-economic, wellbeing and human right related impacts of COVID-19 on people with disabilities in South Africa and other contexts. Its purpose is to summarise evidence to inform a study on the experiences of South Africans with disabilities during the COVID-19 pandemic and the development of an improved inclusive framework for future management of such crises in South Africa. After a brief introduction, the paper is structured around four main sections. Context is provided by considering COVID-19 and disability both globally and in Africa. Then the literature focused on Humanitarian Disaster Risk Reduction and disability inclusion is discussed. Finally the South African policy and legislation environment on disability and humanitarian action is explored. The review finds that globally there is a limited but growing body of work on COVID-19 and disability. There is a particular dearth of evidence focusing specifically on Africa. The evidence that does exist tends either to be focused on a few particular countries or form part of large global surveys. Much of the global level grey literature published early in the pandemic and subsequently anticipates exacerbated negative experiences for people with disabilities, including exclusion from services, stigma and discrimination and lack of inclusive approaches to relief and support by governments and others. Advisory materials, sometimes focussed on specific subgroups, are generally in agreement about calling for a universally inclusive and disability aware approach to pandemic mitigation across settings and sectors. The limited primary research on COVID-19 and disability is mostly focussed on high income settings and or populations with particular health concerns.

Full text
Abstract:
Health insurance refers to a health financing mechanism that involves the pooling of eligible, individual contributions in order to cover all or part of the cost of certain health services for all those who are insured. Health insurance scheme coverage in low-income countries is low, especially among vulnerable populations such as children, the elderly, women, low-income individuals, rural population, racial or ethnic minorities, immigrants, informal sector workers, and people with disability or chronic diseases. Consequently, thousands of vulnerable people suffer and die from preventable and treatable diseases in these settings.

Abstract:
The World Health Organization and World Bank (2011) estimate that there are more than 1 billion people with disabilities in the world. To address this population’s diverse needs, the United Nations drafted their Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD) in 2006. Article 24 (Education) of the CRPD requires ratifying countries to develop an inclusive education system to address the educational needs of students with disabilities alongside their peers without disabilities. Despite substantive improvements and movement toward inclusive education, many low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) continue to struggle with accurately identifying and supporting students with disabilities, including knowing how to effectively screen, evaluate, and qualify students for additional services (Hayes, Dombrowski, Shefcyk, & Bulat, 2018a). These challenges stem from the lack of policies, practices, and qualified staff related to screening and identification. As a result, many students with less-apparent disabilities—such as children with learning disabilities—remain unidentified and do not receive the academic supports they need to succeed in school (Friend & Bursuck, 2012). This guide attempts to address the lack of appropriate, useful disability screening and identification systems and services as countries look to educate all students in inclusive settings. Specifically, this guide introduces viable options for screening and identification related to vision, hearing, and learning disabilities in inclusive classrooms in LMICs. It also provides guidance on how LMICs can transition from an assessment-center model toward a school-based identification model that better serves an inclusive education system.

Idris, Iffat. Increasing Birth Registration for Children of Marginalised Groups in Pakistan. Institute of Development Studies (IDS), July 2021. http://dx.doi.org/10.19088/k4d.2021.102.

Full text
Abstract:
This review looks at approaches to promote birth registration among marginalised groups, in order to inform programming in Pakistan. It draws on a mixture of academic and grey literature, in particular reports by international development organizations. While there is extensive literature on rates of birth registration and the barriers to this, and consensus on approaches to promote registration, the review found less evidence of measures specifically aimed at marginalised groups. Gender issues are addressed to some extent, particularly in understanding barriers to registration, but the literature was largely disability-blind. The literature notes that birth registration is considered as a fundamental human right, allowing access to services such as healthcare and education; it is the basis for obtaining other identity documents, e.g. driving licenses and passports; it protects children, e.g. from child marriage; and it enables production of vital statistics to support government planning and resource allocation. Registration rates are generally lower than average for vulnerable children, e.g. from minority groups, migrants, refugees, children with disabilities. Discriminatory policies against minorities, restrictions on movement, lack of resources, and lack of trust in government are among the ‘additional’ barriers affecting the most marginalised. Women, especially unmarried women, also face greater challenges in getting births registered. General approaches to promoting birth registration include legal and policy reform, awareness-raising activities, capacity building of registration offices, integration of birth registration with health services/education/social safety nets, and the use of digital technology to increase efficiency and accessibility.
