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:
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:
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:
Technical means of rehabilitation (TMR) include special devices and mechanisms are intended to compensate or completely eliminate persistent disabilities in individuals with limited physical and mental capabilities and aimed at normalizing physical and work activity. They include special means for self-care and care, means for orientation in space, devices for communication and information exchange, materials for training and education, as well as devices for engaging in work activities. Rehabilitation equipment also includes all types of prostheses, orthopedic shoes and special clothing, eye prostheses and hearing aids, special sports equipment and sport outfit, as well as mobility aids (wheelchairs). They all have a single purpose, which is to facilitate the daily life of handicapped people and people with disabilities. Provision of this category of persons with technical means of rehabilitation is carriedout on the basis of individual programs. Federal Law of November 24, 1995 No. 181-FZ “On the Social Protection of Persons with Disabilities in the Russian Federation” guarantees free provision of technical rehabilitation means at the expense of the federal budget to the disabled people [6] in the Russian Federation.

Abstract:
Background: Rehabilitation services are necessary for people with disabilities to improve their quality of life and be included in society. This study aimed to determine the factors associated with the use of rehabilitation services among people with disabilities in Chile in 2015. Methods: This cross-sectional analysis of secondary data from Chile’s 2015 Second National Disability Study (ENDISC II) included people with disabilities aged ≥18 years. The dependent variable was the use of rehabilitation services in the previous year, and the exposure variables were sociodemographic and confounders. Poisson regression was used to determine associated factors, and prevalence ratios (PR) with their 95% confidence intervals (95% CI) were estimated. All results were weighted according to the ENDISC II complex sampling. Results: A total of 2610 people with disabilities were included, and 19.1% used some rehabilitation services in the previous year. Educational level (PR 0.43; 95% CI 0.25–0.75), having a mental illness (PR 1.77; 95% CI 1.44–2.18), and caregiver assistance (PR 1.57; 95% CI 1.25–1.97) were factors associated with the use of rehabilitation services. Conclusions: In 2015, one-fifth of people with disabilities in Chile used some rehabilitation services in the previous year. People with disabilities with lower educational levels were less likely to access these services. By contrast, people with mental illness and caregiver assistance were more likely to use rehabilitation services.

Abstract:
(1) Background: The exploration of the potential therapeutic benefits of scuba diving for the mental and physical health of people with physical disabilities. (2) Methods: The research was conducted on a group of 240 people (men and women) with physical disabilities, using the survey designed by one of the authors. The subjective sense of physical and mental fitness was analyzed in retrospective and real terms. (3) Results: Significant increases in self-esteem, belief in our own abilities (self-confidence) and improvement in the ability to engage in social interactions were observed in the group of scuba divers with disabilities compared to individuals with disabilities not practicing diving. The respondents also declared an improvement in the efficiency of the respiratory system and stressed that a water environment increased their motor skills and relieved pain. (4) Conclusions: Diving can become one of the forms of rehabilitation for people with disabilities. There is a need for further research to expand our understanding of the benefits and possible health problems involved in diving. These activities have a huge impact on improving the quality of life of people with disabilities.

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:
Work, leisure and retirement are fundamental aspects of life for individuals with an intellectual disability, just as with the general population. Many educational efforts have taught knowledge and skills to persons with an intellectual disability to improve their functioning in the work and leisure domains. More recently, retirement concerns have become particularly salient because so many individuals now live much longer. The present study looked at using a conceptual approach to improve education in these three domains. It employed the principles that instruction works much better when it proceeds from an individual=s existing concepts and that instruction should teach useful concepts that an individual can apply to improve his or her real world functioning. This conceptual approach has not been used much with the education of persons with an intellectual disability. In Study 1, sixty adults with an intellectual disability were interviewed to determine their existing concepts of work, leisure and retirement and their work and leisure histories. Most had solid concepts of work and leisure, but with some gaps, particularly in notions of volunteer work and occupational status. Most reported satisfactory work and leisure lives. Most had a relatively poor concept of retirement at best and had done little or no retirement planning. These data suggested some key targets for an educational program to improve their knowledge and functioning in these domains. In Study 2, these data were used to develop an instructional program that focussed on gaps in knowledge of volunteer work, banking, budgeting and participation in satisfying leisure activities and in retirement planning. This instructional program was delivered over eight weeks to a class consisting of nine adults with an intellectual disability, with some success. This general conceptual approach can be usefully applied to teaching in other important domains with persons with an intellectual disability. They can be taught key concepts which they can use to live their lives more purposely and independently.

Abstract:
The effects of the Supported Work Model program components on the job stabilization and the job maintenance (short term and long term employment, respectively) of individuals with mental handicaps were determined using path analysis. The subjects for this study were 295 consumers receiving supported employment (SE) services from 70 service agencies in Virginia placed in individual job settings between September 1, 1987 and July 1, 1989. The data were abstracted from a national SE data bank maintained by the Rehabilitation Research and Training Center (RR TC) of Virginia Commonwealth University. Separate path models were estimated for consumer job stabilization and consumer job maintenance. Major contributors to job stabilization were on-the-job training and advocacy support. Transportation availability prior to placement and consumer participation in government benefit programs were identified as statistically significant background characteristics which enhanced job stabilization. Other background characteristics had no effects on job stabilization; however, they did influence the amount of training and advocacy support consumers required. Job maintenance was affected by the amount of on-going follow-along support consumers received as well as their employer's support for working with individuals who have handicaps. Background and job site character istics, as well as training/advocacy support, had no effect on job maintenance, but they did influence the amount of follow-along support consumers received. These results suggest that the Supported Work Model is a good framework for providing services for individuals with mental handicaps. Service providers can improve consumer employment success by making consumer transportation arrangements prior to placement and by placing consumers with employers who are supportive of individuals with handicaps.

Full text
Abstract:
This phenomenological study of the meaning of home from the perspectives of people with and without an intellectual disability sought to identify, (a) any common ‘essence’ of meaning held by and, (b) the nature of any differences of perception between, the groups. Purposive samples of 18 people with an intellectual disability and 21 non-disabled people were surveyed using a semi-structured interview to ascertain their experiences of home and 'non-homes'. Inductive analysis of the data revealed a shared understanding of the meaning of home at a fundamental level. This shared meaning of home was found to comprise: the ability to exert control over an area; having a personalised space; feeling content with the living situation; a sense of familiarity with the setting; a set of behaviours and routines usually only enacted when at home; common names and uses for rooms; socialising at home with others; the importance of a positive social atmosphere in the home; and, recognition of places as non-homes because they lacked one or more of these attributes. Further analysis revealed the essence of home is its experience as the place where stress is most reduced or minimised for the individual. The study demonstrates that the concept of stress is superordinate to previously identified concepts considered fundamental to home such as privacy, control and non-homes. Major differences between the two samples were largely differences of degree with people who have an intellectual disability reporting the same fundamental attributes of home as people who do not have an intellectual disability, but in a less elaborated form. Principal among these differences of degree was the notion of control over the home and its derivative elements which encompassed the whole dwelling including its setting for people without an intellectual disability but was very restricted for people with an intellectual disability being largely confined to the person's bedroom. Socialising in or from the home was also very limited for people with an intellectual disability in comparison with that experienced by non-disabled informants with the former group conveying an impression of leading significantly socially isolated lives at home. The major implications of this study are related to the meaning of home per se, to residential service provision to people with an intellectual disability, and to future research.

Full text
Abstract:
An assessment procedure to measure the learning potential of mildly and moderately mentally handicapped adults was investigated in this study. The procedure was developed to overcome the limitations of previously established learning potential assessment procedures by meeting the specific orientation necessary when assessing the mentally handicapped, by avoiding practice and mechanical memory effects, and by requiring the subjects to show the ability to retain and apply new cognitive skills. Thirty institutionalized mentally handicapped adults were matched on IG and then randomly assigned to an assessment or control group. For the assessment group the intervention procedure involved the Coloured Progressive Matrices test as a pretest measure, in four treatment sessions each two to three days apart, and as a posttest measure. Verbal and/or figural aids were provided when an incorrect response was given on a test item during the treatment sessions. The control group was provided the same number of administrations of the test but without the treatment intervention. Significant differences were found between the pre and post test performance levels of the assessment group. The control group showed no significant gains. The learning potential assessment procedure used in this study provided a measure of the learning potential of mentally handicapped institutionalized adults.The results indicate that the mentally handicapped can perform at much higher levels than those assessed by standardly used intellectual measures. Implications are that through the use of this approach a clearer discrimination of intellectual ability within the broad classifications of the mentally handicappped can be gained. Such information could be used to aid in the selection of peers, developmental programming decisions, and provide prescriptive information about the most efficacious modes of learning for an individual.

Abstract:
Work is important for the health and well-being of individuals, regardless of whether it is paid or unpaid employment. Employment is known to be a critical component of personal identity and personal growth, disability adjustment, social integration, and life satisfaction, in addition to economic self-sufficiency. In its broadest sense, work is ‘an activity involving mental or physical effort in order to achieve a result’. People with disabilities experience a significantly higher than average level of unemployment. This chapter defines and describes vocational rehabilitation techniques to reintegrate the patient into the community and workforce, interventions and assessment, and suitable workplace accommodations.

Abstract:
Since schools play an important role in addressing children’s mental illness and in giving necessary support to children, parents and caregivers have to understand their children’s rights and the laws and regulations that can protect children within school settings. Two federal laws mentioned in this chapter are the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, which requires the educational system to give eligible children with disabilities the same opportunities as children without disabilities, and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, which prohibits discrimination against people with disabilities. Schools are required to accommodate children with disabilities to make sure they receive the same education and resources as their peers. In addition to these laws, school social work professionals working with children with mental health issues need to develop intervention plans that best meet the needs of each specific child. This chapter provides a list of relevant evidence-informed intervention strategies that social workers can refer to in their future practice.

Abstract:
Abstract There is considerable research evidence indicating that rates of psychiatric disorders are higher in homeless individuals, although, in some cases, psychiatric illnesses may lead to homelessness. It is likely that in spite of high rates of illness, individuals who are homeless or are in insecure housing may be more reluctant to seek help. Thus, it is of paramount importance to enable homeless people with mental illness to access mental health services easily, which is a worldwide challenge. Homelessness and psychiatric disorders are both strongly affected by other social determinants and thus may feed into each other. A significant improvement in the health of these persons can be through outreach programmes leading to early detection of psychiatric disorders. In view of the great vulnerability to which the homeless are exposed, the special psychological treatments they may need are obvious, but interventions require joined up thinking between health, housing, employment, education, justice, and other ministries. Each nation may need to develop optimal models of social care and rehabilitation that rely on the particular research-driven needs of homeless people with mental illnesses. In order to improve the availability of services to the homeless, it is also important to consider and value their experiences and opinions. Many underprivileged groups such as refugees and migrants, adolescents, those with intellectual and developmental disabilities, LGBTIQ, and homeless individuals may need extra input. The well-recognized association between homelessness and mental illness needs to be addressed at multiple levels in any society.

Abstract:
This chapter describes how sensory impairment is often regarded from a medical/disability point of view and its effects on mental health can be poorly recognized. Communication is a key issue for deaf and deaf-blind people and difficulties here underlie developmental, psychological and emotional problems and delay or prevent appropriate assessment and treatment. Sensory related issues are seen as medical problems and as disabilities. 95% of the information about the world around us comes from our sight and hearing. However, the main concerns of visual and hearing affected by the total or partial absence of sight and/or hearing are usually how to live, how to learn and how to communicate. Their difficulties are often as much to do with society's attitudes towards them as with the direct effect of sensory impairment.

Abstract:
Despite regulations and major efforts aimed at protecting the rights of people with disabilities, there are still huge challenges to ensure community access and full participation of persons with disabilities in society, in a context where the prevalence of disability will increase over the next decades. In this chapter, we examine three aspects of the community access issue—access to services, the value of both existing and emerging technologies, and social and economic policymaking. In addition to an efficient rehabilitation process focusing on physical and mental capabilities, enhancing community access and social participation will require the optimization of access to services such as primary healthcare, family support, the home environment, and job training, which currently are highly variable between jurisdictions. Key concepts in this regard include the notion of resiliency—support for both individuals and their families as well as their communities should aim to enhance the ability of these to rebound from challenging situations and create new ways of functioning. Technologies that enhance mobility, communication, and home adaptation also play an increasingly important role in favouring community access and participation. While these are essential to compensate various forms of disabilities, the current rapid evolution of technologies does not allow adequate efficacy testing, limiting the establishment of best practices or recommendations regarding these products and often overestimating their benefits. Finally, better community access and participation, supported by an enabling environment should not be based on a culture of disability but a culture of ‘ability’ that impacts all citizens regardless of their life situation.

Abstract:
The actualization of the development of inclusive tourism is enhanced by the fact that for people with disabilities tourism is not only a means of recreation and rehabilitation, promotes the activation of motor functions and support of physical fitness, but also a source, creating an environment for full interaction and elimination of feelings of inferiority, that in turn mobilizes mental health resources and restores the psycho-emotional mood of a person, and therefore, increases the level of his/her self-esteem and self-significance. The article examines possible ways of developing inclusive tourism as a social service for people with disabilities. The state of the provision of rehabilitation services for people with disabilities to improve the level of full-quality life has been determined, and the feasibility of providing rehabilitation services through inclusive tourism among social field professionals. Recommendations for the development and implementation of inclusive tourism as a social service for people with disabilities are offered.

Abstract:
The experience of the volunteer movement Kostroma State University´ (KSU) students in the rehabilitation center for the disabled of all ages and categories (RCD) and physical education classes in the Karaganda Medical University (MUK) ´ physical health center is presented. It has been established that in order to adapt children and persons with disabilities (limited health) to social life, it is necessary to involve them in the optimal level of physical activity, which entails the restoration of mental and vegetative functions of the body. There is a need to unite healthy persons and persons with disabilities into one group, as a result of which persons with disabilities acquire a sense of confidence, openness and gullibility towards the people around them and the coaching staff. Key words: healthy lifestyle (HLS), inclusion, adaptive physical education, disabilities, persons with limited health, inclusive competences, quasi-professional activity.

Abstract:
Brain Computer Interface (BCI) provides a pathway to connect the brain to external devices. Neuro-rehabilitation provides advanced means to assist people with movement disorders such as post-stroke patients and those with lost limbs. While much progress has been made in neuro-rehabilitation as assistive devices, few studies had examined mental rehabilitation assisted by BCI such as memory training using neuroenhancement. It should be noted that many patients with physical disabilities also suffer cognitive difficulties. On the other hand, cognitive decline can also be the result of normal aging without brain injury nor diseases. Here, we propose a novel real-time brainwave BCI platform for enhancing human cognitive by designing and employing a personalized neuro-feedback robot. Short-term memory and attention are among the most important cognitive abilities which manifest in many mental diseases. A social robot is integrated into the BCI system to provide feedback based on individual’s brainwaves and memory performance. As a simple scenario of memory task, real-time EEG signals will be monitored during a visual object memory task. Our novel neuro-feedback system has great potential as a neuro-enhancing device for cognitive rehabilitation.
