Abstract:

The history of intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) in the United States is, in many ways, a triumphant story reflecting an increasingly progressive attitude acknowledging the equality of all persons. The law now recognizes people with IDD as citizens, possessing an equal right to education, health care, and employment—each of which represents milestone victories. However, this progression was not a linear development but rather a product of periods of growth and decline, backsliding, and hard-won battles across political, cultural, and legal domains. This article explores the vacillating historical trajectory for people with IDD in the United States from the colonial period to the present. Particular attention is paid to the conceptual understanding of disability itself across time periods as that which informs particular developments in treatment, law, and social status. The capabilities approach, as outlined by Martha Nussbaum, is then brought to bear as a heuristic framework, consonant with current developments in disability studies, and which may guide future social and legislative action.

Abstract:

Objective: This paper reports on a study designed within the framework of the National Survey of Mental Health and Wellbeing to: estimate the prevalence of psychoses in urban areas of Australia; identify profiles of symptomatology, impairments and disabilities; collect information on services received and needed; and explore quality of life issues in a broadly representative sample of people with psychotic illnesses. Method: The study was conducted over four areas in the Australian Capital Territory, Queensland, Victoria and Western Australia, as a two-phase survey: (i) a census and screening for psychosis of all individuals who made contacts with mental health services during a period of 1 month in 1997; and (ii) interviews with a stratified random sample (n = 980) of the screen-positive individuals (n = 3800) using a standardised instrument. Results: The point prevalence (1 month) of psychotic disorders in the urban population aged 18–64 is in the range of 4–7 per 1000 with a weighted mean of 4.7 per 1000. People with psychotic disorders experience high rates of functional impairments and disability, decreased quality of life, persistent symptoms, substance-use comorbidity and frequent side effects of medication. Although the utilisation of hospital-based and community mental health services, as well as of public and non-governmental helping agencies, is high, the majority live in extreme social isolation and adverse socioeconomic circumstances. Among the many unmet needs, the limited availability of community-based rehabilitation, supported accommodation and employment opportunities is particularly prominent. Conclusions: The so-called ‘low-prevalence’ psychotic disorders represent a major and complex public health problem, associated with heavy personal and social costs. There is a need for a broad programmatic approach, involving various sectors of the community, to tackle the multiple dimensions of clinical disorder, personal functioning and socioeconomic environment that influence the course and outcome of psychosis and ultimately determine the effectiveness of service-based intervention.

Abstract:

People with severe disabilities, such as severe mental disabilities and autism spectrum disorders, do not participate in the open, competitive labor market to the same extent as people without disabilities or other forms of disability. Sheltered employment is an internationally accepted approach for the vocational integration of people with severe disabilities, which introduces integration in sheltered workplaces mainly with other people with disabilities and ongoing support from the Government or self-government. Therefore, sheltered employment can be defined as the employment of a person with a disability under particular conditions. This paper presents the legislative framework regarding sheltered employment in Poland and Greece and the ways sheltered employment takes place in each of the two countries with the corresponding comparisons and conclusions. The results show a need for a more precise and more comprehensive legislative framework on sheltered employment in Poland and Greece. Alternative options for the vocational integration of people with severe forms of disabilities, such as supported employment programs, need to come to the fore. Supported employment seems to be the only effective and efficient way for people who have particular difficulties in finding and keeping a paid job in the open labor market to take up paid employment on an equal basis with other people. Does the concept of supported employment have a chance to prove itself on Poland and Greece’s open labor markets and become a complementary tool in the vocational activation of people with disabilities? Legislative regulations, system projects, and stable sources of financing are necessary for both countries.

Abstract:

As more people with psychiatric disabilities seek postsecondary education opportunities to improve their employability and to eventually earn wages averaging higher than those without collegiate experience, institutions of higher education throughout the United States are seeing significant increases in the enrollments of this population. The State-Federal Vocational Rehabilitation (VR) Services program continues to serve as a valuable resource for people with disabilities who attend colleges and universities across the nation. A hierarchical logistic regression analysis was used to determine the effectiveness of VR services for people with psychiatric disabilities who also received college and university training. The Rehabilitation Services Administration 911 database for fiscal year 2006 was used to identify nine services related to the successful closure of this group of consumers. Results are discussed in relation to their importance for rehabilitation counselors.

Abstract:

The spread of the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19) has had a significant impact on the working population. Companies have been forced to respond to their employees and improve their work environment. In addition to the impact on able-bodied people, there has been a significant one on the employment of people with disabilities. This study reviews the current employment status of people with disabilities during COVID-19 and discusses the changes therein and the role of supporters in light of the changes in work styles during the pandemic. The results of the review indicate that natural disasters such as infectious diseases are difficult to predict, and concrete measures must be taken daily to maintain the safety and security of people with disabilities. People with schizophrenia especially need to prepare in normal times, since not only cognitive functions but also psychological factors will affect their acquisition of skills. Based on the characteristics of disabilities, it is crucial to support people with disabilities in normal times for them to act independently in times of disaster. Considering that natural disasters caused by infectious diseases will continue to occur, we should prepare for remote employment, training, mental health care counseling, and response during ordinary times to protect people with disabilities, along with their supporters, assuming that they may become victims.

Abstract:

ObjectiveTo determine whether employment outcomes of people with disabilities can be predicted by the social-cognitive/attribution theory of stigmatization.DesignEx post facto design using data mining technique and logistic regression analysis. Participants: Data from 40,585 vocational rehabilitation (VR) consumers were extracted from the Rehabilitation Services Administration Case Services Report (Form 911).ResultsIn Study 1, data mining results revealed that the most significant predictor of employment outcome was type of disability. Consistent with the social-cognitive/attribution theory of stigmatization, the employment rate of people with physical disabilities (68.5%) was found to be significantly higher than that of people with mental disabilities (56.6%). In Study 2, results from logistic regression analyses indicated that VR services could improve outcomes for subpopulations of people with disabilities with low employment rates.ConclusionEmployment outcomes of VR consumers were found to match the hierarchy of attitudes toward disability predicted by the social-cognitive/attribution theory. However, even with subpopulations with the lowest employment rates, VR services were found to improve employment outcomes.

Abstract:

The article provides a theoretical analysis of the role of work in the correction of people with disabilities due to intellectual disabilities. Different types of work in special institutions are outlined. The role of work in the education and development of people with disabilities due to intellectual disabilities is now particularly important due to the difficulties in preparing them for practice. In Ukraine, state and public systems of educational institutions and establishments have been created and are constantly developing, in order to cover all people with disabilities. An integral part of this system are special institutions where people with disabilities who have certain deviations of physical or mental development can study, get educated, prepare for independent life and socially useful work. People with disabilities should be oriented about the role they play in the work force of the society; in that they should provide useful and affordable work. This is done in order to prepare themselves for socially useful activities, they must see the main goal to be pursued in the learning process. In the system of pedagogical measures to influence the psyche of a person with a disability due to intellectual disabilities work is one of the most important means of correcting intellectual disabilities. The corrective value of employment for people with disabilities due to intellectual disabilities is that work greatly contributes to the education of positive personality traits. It is known that people with intellectual disabilities make poor use of work skills in new situations. Work contributes to the application of knowledge and skills acquired during training in practical activities outside the institution.

Abstract:

The organization of a social and labor employment on a permanent basis for people with mental disabilities is the multidimensional and lengthy process that requires elaboration at the state level. The technology of inpatient substitution and a description of new implemented practices for the comprehensive support of adults with mental disabilities in the Pskov region are presented. Provided analysis of results of the work of the resource center for social services and the current system of comprehensive support for the period 2018-2021 in the following areas: vocational training, social and labor employment at work, social day employment, socio-cultural rehabilitation; supported accommodation and post-residential house support. 164 people visit the institution on an ongoing basis, 16 of them are people with autism spectrum disorders (ASD). Training programs have been written and are being used to acquire working professions. In 2019, an assisted living house was opened and a post-residential house support system was introduced. The existing problems are analyzed, questions for the further development in the field of socialization of people with mental disabilities are proposed.

Abstract:

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to examine trends over time and geographical variation in rates of paid employment amongst working age adults with learning disabilities receiving long-term social care in England. Design/methodology/approach Data were drawn from NHS Digital adult social care statistics examining paid/self-employment for working age (18-64 years) adults with learning disabilities known to social care (2008/2009 to 2013/2014) or receiving long-term social care (2014/2015 to 2016/2017). Findings In 2016/2017, councils reported that 5.7 per cent of working age adults (7,422 people) with learning disabilities receiving long-term social care were in paid/self-employment, with higher employment rates for men than women and most people working less than 16 hours per week. Paid employment rates seem to be slightly declining over time, and there is wide variation across councils in reported paid/self-employment rates. Social implications Despite good evidence for the cost effectiveness of supported employment support, employment rates for adults with learning disabilities receiving long-term social care remain extremely low. Originality/value This paper presents in one place statistics concerning the paid employment of working age adults with learning disabilities in England.

Abstract:

Objective: This study was undertaken to establish the perceptions of psychiatrists regarding the care of people with intellectual disabilities. Method: A 28-item self-administered questionnaire was developed, piloted and sent on two occasions to 467 psychiatrists who receive the newsletter of the Victorian branch of the Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Psychiatrists. The questionnaire incorporated a Likert scale to document the opinions of the respondents. Results: A response rate of 51.1 % was achieved. The respondents indicated that, in their opinion, people with intellectual disabilities receive a poor standard of care in the inpatient and community setting. To improve this situation, the following strategies were recommended: the development of improved liaison between services; improved training for all personnel who provide services to people with intellectual disabilities; the development of greater resources; and support for professionals working in the area. The study also indicates that there is a core group of very interested psychiatrists who are currently practising and that people with intellectual disabilities are accessing private psychiatric services. In addition, the results suggest that diagnostic overshadowing is not a major barrier to psychiatric assessment, and that disorders which were presumed to be commonly overlooked by doctors (such as depression) are in fact frequently being diagnosed. Conclusions: Despite some positive findings, the majority of psychiatrists who responded held major concerns about the situation of people with intellectual disabilities. To improve the care provided to these people, it is recommended that these concerns are addressed by the psychiatric profession and responsible government departments in conjunction with university departments of psychiatry.

Abstract:

Research evidence has shown that employment is crucial and purposeful for people with intellectual disabilities, promoting positive effects associated with independent living and social inclusion. Notwithstanding, people with intellectual disabilities find it particularly difficult to accomplish successful employment. They face discrimination, and they are considered to lack work capacity. The extremely marginal position of people with intellectual disabilities in the labor market appears to prevail across national settings. Over the last 35 years, there has been an improvement in the vocational inclusion of individuals with intellectual disabilities in Greece, with the legislation embracing the human rights-based approach to disability. Nevertheless, the challenge of accomplishing full participation and equality in employment for people with intellectual disabilities still remains huge in Greece. Their participation rates in the Greek labour market are significantly lower than in the rest of the European Union. This article illustrates the employment provisions for individuals with intellectual disabilities in Greece. Additionally, it presents the current implemented models of their occupational inclusion while critically discussing the convention's pursuance on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities in the Greek context.

AbstractThis is a systematic review of systematic reviews of secondary health conditions, health promotion interventions, and employment in people with intellectual disabilities. Articles were included if they reported a systematic review of health and employment, secondary health conditions, and health promotion interventions for people with intellectual disabilities. The methodological quality of the included reviews was reviewed using the A MeaSurement Tool to Assess systematic Reviews quality rating system, a measurement tool to assess systematic reviews. Twenty-five systematic reviews were included. There was evidence that people with intellectual disabilities (ID) were at elevated risk for secondary health conditions, health promotion interventions can improve physical and mental health conditions, and employment is associated with better health-related quality of life. Health promotion intervention to help people with ID engage in health promoting behaviors can improve health and their ability to find and maintain employment.

Abstract:

This article focuses on people with learning disabilities and their families who employ care or support workers using public (government) and/or private (self and family) funds. Such consumer-directed support takes place in England through personal budgets and direct payments. Research and material relevant to these employment relationships were explored in a scoping review undertaken by the authors in 2010. The review identified a small number of studies that involved people with learning disabilities as respondents, although more relied on family carers as proxy respondents. The findings from these studies covered recruitment and administration, employment of family members, training needs, the nature and content of employment relationships, and ending employment. The review observed that employment relationships, practices, and dynamics are surprisingly little explored in the literature and generally unobserved. The article concludes with specific messages from the review for family carers, for people with learning disabilities and for care and support workers.

Abstract:

Title I of the Americans With Disabilities Act prohibits discrimination in employment; however, 26 years later, employment rates for persons with disabilities hover at 34%. This systematic review investigates the effectiveness of evidence-based interventions to increase employment for people with various disabilities. Forty-six articles met the inclusion criteria for evidence-based interventions. The majority of studies assessed interventions for persons with mental health disabilities. Strong evidence was found for ongoing support and work-related social skills training prior to and during competitive employment for persons with mental health disabilities. Moderate evidence supported simulation and use of assistive technology, especially apps for cueing and peer support to increase work participation for persons with intellectual disabilities, neurological/cognitive disabilities, and autism spectrum disorder. Many of the strategies to increase work participation were appropriate for occupational therapy intervention. Suggestions were made for research, specifically looking at more rigorous evaluation of strategies in the long term.

Abstract:

The ability of the Employment Expectation Questionnaire-Beta version (EEQ-B) to differentially describe employment relevant attitudes towards people with disabilities was investigated. Labels of cognitive disability and gender were manipulated in an analog study. Respondents from a convenience sample of students read stimulus material concerning a job and job applicant and then rated the applicant's qualification for the job. A significant effect was found for disability, but not for gender or interaction effects. Post hoc contrasts suggest that labels of cognitive disability (mental retardation, mental illness, and traumatic brain injury) had a differential effect across the factors of the EEQ-B.

Abstract:

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to provide a synthesis of current and previous government policies and strategies, in relation to people with learning disabilities and employment, to facilitate a better understanding of the current situation and future challenges. Design/methodology/approach – A search was completed to identify government policies relating to the employment of people with learning disabilities. Key policies were identified and their impact was discussed in the paper. Findings – It appears there is a necessity to identify how successful pilot projects can be replicated on a national scale, with clear targets and measures and initial financial support to set up these services. Alongside this there is a need for interventions targeting not just employers, but the general population, educating people about the importance of including and valuing people with learning disabilities in the workforce. Originality/value – It is important that policy is analysed and the impact of it is assessed to determine whether more action is necessary. This paper adds updates to some of the issues discussed in Melling et al.’s (2011) paper about “Supported employment for people with learning disabilities”.

Abstract:

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to provide a commentary on “A summary of government initiatives relating to employment for people with learning disabilities in England”. Design/methodology/approach – In her paper, Blamires outlines the development of policy in employment for people with learning disabilities. This commentary explores whether this policy development is having any impact. Findings – The statistics indicate that development of policy does not appear to be making a difference. It is concluded that this is about how it is being implemented and the time it takes for policy to have an impact. What is needed to fully implement these changes is a huge cultural shift, changing people’s mindset about what people with learning disabilities can achieve. Originality/value – This paper provides an individual perspective on the impact of policy on the lives of people with learning disabilities.

Abstract:

The article deals with the problems of the full implementation of the labor potential of people with disabilities in the context of population aging in China and a reduction in its working age population. The object of the study is people with disabilities, the subject of study is the forms and methods of employment of people with disabilities, and the support of their employment. Along with the analysis of traditional forms of employment of people with disabilities that have developed in China, special attention is paid to new forms of their involvement in work using digital technologies, which have received significant development in China in recent years. The scope of application of digital technologies in the employment of people with disabilities is determined. It was revealed that the main areas of application of digital technologies, platform and virtual employment in China are e-commerce and e-trade. The mechanisms of financial support for the disabled and entrepreneurs who provide them with jobs are considered. It is noted that digital technologies contribute to the expansion of employment of people with disabilities, increase their income and reduce poverty. Based on the calculations of the rate of renewal of jobs for the disabled, it is found that the area of their introduction is insufficient to meet the needs of people with disabilities in decent work. The conclusion is substantiated that the system of vocational training and retraining of personnel from among the disabled requires improvement and acceleration of the terms for updating knowledge and competencies, taking into account the pace of introduction of new technologies. The positive experience of China in the employment of people with disabilities using digital technologies can be used by other countries, and it is advisable to expand the scope of its implementation in sectors of the real economy. A promising area of research on this issue is the study of regional features of the formation and use of the labor potential of people with disabilities in the provinces of China. For Russia, this aspect of the study is especially important.

Abstract:

Employment attitudes and mental health of long-term unemployed people with disabilities were investigated in a cross sectional study. During an interview, people selected themselves into four employment attitude groups, those who wanted employment (28%), those who were not able to work (35%), those who had alternatives to employment (30%) and those who were interested in training (7%). Mental health was assessed by the General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-12) and the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSE). The results indicated that mental health was low with high distress and low self-esteem scores evident in the four groups. Implications for rehabilitation counselors are discussed.

Abstract:

This study investigated smoking behaviors by disability type among people with disabilities in Korea and identified factors associated with attempted smoking cessation and successful four-week smoking abstinence. Data were collected between 1 January 2018 and 31 December 2019. Predictors of attempted smoking cessation and successful four-week smoking abstinence were analyzed by disability type in 557 participants. Compared to people with mental health disorders, people with physical disabilities or brain lesions were more likely to attempt smoking cessation, and people with physical or internal disabilities were more likely to successfully abstain for four weeks. Common predictors of smoking cessation attempts and four-week abstinence were education level and CO level. Employment status predicted attempted cessation, while confidence in smoking cessation predicted four-week abstinence. To provide effective smoking cessation services for people with disabilities, disability type should be considered, and comprehensive and sustainable community-based programs need to be developed. Furthermore, a standardized survey of people with disabilities should be conducted to examine socioeconomic factors, including health status, employment, and education level, and to explore fundamental measures needed to address the problem of smoking among people with disabilities.

Abstract:

The Disability Discrimination Act, passed by Parliament in 1995, is an important piece of legislation with the potential to protect the employment rights of people with disabilities. It covers people with physical or mental impairments that have a substantial and long-term adverse effect on their ability to carry out normal day-to-day activities. The Act has sections regarding protection from discrimination in employment, in the provision of goods, services and facilities, and in education. These parts of the Act have implications for people working in mental health services when they are considering employment and educational opportunities for service users.

Abstract:

Lao People’s Democratic Republic (PDR) has experienced significant economic growth in the last two decades. While access to education, health, and employment for people with disabilities has also improved markedly, people with intellectual disabilities are still among the most vulnerable in society. This article presents findings from a screening survey of 2469 participants, a focus group discussion with key stakeholders in intellectual disabilities, and a case study of the Association for Autism. The screening survey suggests 1.9% of working age participants (18–59) and 0.7% of children (6–17) have intellectual disabilities. The qualitative data illustrate poor understanding and stigmatization of people with intellectual disabilities, lack of services, and development of a parent association to improve the life prospects for children with autism and intellectual disabilities. People with intellectual disabilities in Lao PDR remain particularly vulnerable. Parents and other disability advocates are raising awareness and demonstrating the effectiveness of specialized services.

Abstract:

IntroductionSince the 1990's the main form of vocational rehabilitation centers in Poland were occupational therapy workshops (OTW), but the low ratio of the employment of the participants of OTW‘s led to the creation of newer, more effective institutions called Occupational Activation Centers (OAC). They were expected to be professional activity establishments, aimed at launching new career paths of people with intellectual disabilities, enabling the candidates to pass through various stages of rehabilitation and vocational activation.Materials and methodsThe analysis of available statistical data concerning the activity of OAC‘s in Poland was done.ResultsIn the whole country the number of these facilities is 53, while the number of occupational therapy workshops is 665. The Law on OAC‘s restricts the employment of people with moderate disability in total employment to 35%, this indicator covering not only the persons with mental retardation, but also people with autism and mental illness. In addition the OAC‘s activity generates the cost of creating them inadequate for the quantity and quality of jobs being created.ConclusionIt turned out that the creation of OAC‘s occurred too slowly in relation to the already operating OTW‘s and the weaknesses in the Polish system of rehabilitation and employment of people with intellectual disabilities necessitates the need to find innovative ways to solve this problem.Disclosure of interestThe authors have not supplied their declaration of competing interest.

Abstract:

The efforts of those advocating supported employment have resulted in expansion of the opportunities for people with moderate and severe disabilities in the past several years. Results reported previously on the benefits and costs associated with supported competitive employment have been extended in this article from the 4-year period in the previous analysis to the present 8-year analysis. This is one of the few benefit-cost analyses to be completed on people with mental retardation who have received supported competitive employment services. As in the previous analysis, these figures do not reflect theoretical projections, but direct placement data resulting from a longitudinal program. Our results show a final positive financial consequence accrued to the public of $1,057,000, of which more than $525,000 was a direct benefit of placing consumers with moderate and severe disabilities in supported competitive employment. Since this study extended over 8 years, all figures were corrected for inflation and discounting to 1986 (Quarter 1) dollars. By using individual analyses, it was shown that all consumers served benefited financially from the program. Results showed a substantial savings to taxpayers with the utilization of this model, along with significant financial benefits to all consumers, including those with moderate and severe disabilities.

Abstract:

Research in the educational and psychological literature has linked adaptive perceptions of control to positive adult outcomes like better employment, higher quality of life, and increased independence. In recent years these findings have been extended to people with mental retardation. Research with this population has suggested that they tend to be more externally oriented than peers without disabilities or peers with other types of disabilities. This research, however, has not provided direct comparisons between people with mental retardation and other populations. The present study compared the perceptions of control of 431 students (227 boys, 204 girls) ages 10–20 years ( M=14.3) with mental retardation ( n = 94), learning disabilities ( n = 159), or no disabilities ( n = 178). Analysis confirmed that students with mental retardation scored significantly more externally on measures of locus of control and artributions of academic success and failure than their peers with learning disabilities or without disabilities. The discussion focuses on implications for these students.

Abstract:

In Russian society, more preciseattention is paid to the problems of vocational guidance, training, employment of young people with severe mental disabilities. This article reveals the problems of professional orientation of young people with severe mental development disorders. The specialists of the Center for Social Adaptation and Professional Training of Young People with Autism Spectrum Disorders with Mental Disabilities at Technological College No. 21 in Moscow for a long time deal with professional orientation and education of people with severe mental disorders. The Center for Social Adaptation and Professional Training for Young People with Autism Spectrum Disorders with Pronounced Mental Disabilities Technological College No. 21 in Moscow is working on vocational guidance and training. The work demonstrates the importance of the process of vocational guidance for people with severe developmental disorders, Also article reveals certain difficulties in solving this problem. Two large groups of problems are distinguished - external and internal: social problems that impede the ability of young people with severe mental disabilities to choose a profession, and problems associated with the organization of career guidance activities themselves. It is noted that new opportunities for career guidance are currently opening up, as specialists shift the focus from the limitations of young people to their advantages and opportunities.

Abstract:

The role of occupational therapy in acquiring employment To be satisfied with their life, people with disabilities need to fully participate in social life. By providing comprehensive rehabilitation, occupational therapy gives them an opportunity to choose their path in life and make decisions about their life - thanks to their being able to work, among other things. The authors present conditions necessary for people with disabilities to become capable of working that need to be included in therapy. They distinguish five stages of acquiring vocational skills and competence. These are: current analysis of mental and physical abilities, assessment of vocational potential, preparation for work, workplace accommodation and the final outcome - employment. They present outlines of procedures oriented at learning a trade by people with psychomotor disabilities, their vocational potential and conditions for working. Independence at work is closely related to the clinical condition of the person in therapy. It is not always possible to develop full competence; however, an optimal level should be aimed at that is appropriate to the current physical and mental abilities of a person with disability.

Abstract:

Disabled people with significant impairments of body functions, make up more than 10% in the structure of the total disability prevalence rates across the regions of Russia. Some of them may be included in the labor force with the considerable help of others in specially created circumstances, such as educational or medical-industrial workshops. The purpose of research is the study of the complex of biopsychosocial factors determining the labor activities of disabled persons of various ages with significant health problems. There were observed 128 people. There were investigated the peculiarities of employment of persons with disabilities working in the medical-industrial workshops in St. Petersburg and the Leningradskaya region. There was used the method of expert and rehabilitation diagnostics, aimed at the study of the functioning of persons with disabilities with the help of processes of health domains and health-related domains systematized according to the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF). There were revealed specific features of the functioning, activity and participation as well as affecting on them environment factors specific to working activity of «severe» psychiatric and ophthalmic disabled, as well as cases with disorders of the musculoskeletal system, capable of working in educational and medical-industrial workshops with the considerable help of other persons. In the course of the study there was determined the pronouncement of persistent disorders of mental and sensory functions and disorders of the musculoskeletal system, when people with such disabilities can be sent to the medical and educational-production workshops institutions of different departmental subordination.There were pointed out the barriers disrupting «severe» people with disabilities be employed, as well as to facilitate career and personal factors that providing a more effective integration of disabled people into the work.

Abstract This study examined who provides informal (or unpaid) supports to people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD). Participants included 657 adult siblings of people with disabilities who responded to a national survey about informal supports in the areas of recreation, employment, and housing. Results indicated that most people with IDD received informal supports, with parents and sibling respondents most often providing those supports. Support was most commonly received in recreation, as opposed to housing or employment. Asked to list nonfamily informal supporters, respondents often mentioned paid staff and disability organizations. Correlates of total numbers of informal supporters included the individual with disability's functioning level and parents' ability to care for their offspring with disabilities.

Abstract:

For many years, institutional psychiatry was a major tool in the suppression of political dissent. Moreover, it appears painfully clear that, while the worst excesses of the past have mostly disappeared, the problem is not limited to the pages of history. What is more, the revelations of the worst of these abuses (and the concomitant rectification of many of them) may, paradoxically, have created the false illusion that all the major problems attendant to questions of institutional treatment and conditions in these nations have been solved. This is decidedly not so.Remarkably, the issue of the human rights of persons with mental disabilities had been ignored for decades by the international agencies vested with the protection of human rights on a global scale. Within the legal literature, it appears that the first time disability rights were conceptualized as a human rights issue was as recently as 1993 when, in a groundbreaking article, Eric Rosenthal and Leonard Rubenstein first applied international human rights principles to the institutionalization of people with mental disabilities.For people with mental disabilities, in particular, the development of human rights protections may be even more significant than for people with other disabilities. Like people with other disabilities, people with mental disabilities face degradation, stigmatization, and discrimination throughout the world today. But unlike people with other disabilities, many people with mental disabilities are routinely confined, against their will, in institutions, and deprived of their freedom, dignity, and basic human rights. People with mental disabilities who are fortunate enough to live outside of institutions often remain imprisoned by the social isolation they experience, often from their own families. They are not included in educational programs, and they face attitudinal barriers to employment because they have not received the education and training needed to obtain employment or because of discrimination based on unsubstantiated fears and prejudice. Only recently have disability discrimination laws and policies in the United States and elsewhere focused on changing such attitudes and promoting the integration of people with disabilities into our schools, neighborhoods, and workplaces.The question remains, however: to what extent has institutional, state-sponsored psychiatry been used as a tool of political suppression, and what are the implications of this pattern and practice? After an Introductory section (Part I), I discuss, in Part II, the first revelations of the dehumanization inflicted on persons with mental disabilities, primarily (but not exclusively) in Soviet Bloc nations. In Part III, I discuss developments after these revelations were publicized. In Part IV, I weigh the extent to which the post-revelation reforms have been effective and meaningful. In Part V, I explain the meanings of sanism and pretextuality, and discuss how they relate to the topic at hand. Then, in Part VI, I raise questions that have not yet been answered, and that, I believe, should help set the research agendas of those thinking about these important issues.
