Statistics show that one of every five Americans suffer from a disability. Whether the disability be mental or physical, proper care is required for that person to live a healthy and independent life. This book covers many areas where state and local levels of government interact on programs for Americans with disabilities. This includes government funding for health care providers and benefit plans, on placing the elderly or mentally challenged in proper facilities, institutions, and housing programs, and various financial programs created for the disabled.
This significant volume provides broad coverage of the spectrum of problems confronted by patients with developmental disabilities and the many kinds of occupational therapy services these individuals need. Experts identify exemplary institutional and community service programs for treating patients with autism, cerebral palsy, epilepsy, and mental retardation. A welcome contribution to the meager professional literature on the subject, Developmental Disabilities: A Handbook for Occupational Therapists will be an enormously helpful resource for therapists who work with both children and adults, ranging from mild to severe levels of impairment. You will learn how to establish a therapeutic environment for children with autism, develop a pre-vocational program in a pediatric skilled care facility, use qualitative research to obtain insight into the world of adults with significantly limiting cerebral palsy, and provide early intervention for your developmentally disabled patients.
