Infusing disability-affirming practice into the successful aging concept
As global populations age, dominant models of successful aging often emphasize physical health, independence, and continued social engagement, sometimes marginalizing the experiences of older adults living with disabilities. Guided by multidimensional models of successful aging and principles of disability-affirming practice, this study examined how aging services professionals conceptualize successful aging for older adults with and without disa…
Using an anti-racist, equity-minded lens in assessment of teaching and learning
Recent materials from the U.S. Council on Social Work Education note that regardless of some successes, racial equity in higher education has not significantly progressed. Recent scholarship has noted racial discrimination in social work academia. However, we were not able to find any publications about racial disproportionality in social work education grading or educational attainment. In this article, we document an intentional anti-racist, eq…
Anti-Ableist and Disability Justice Pedagogies in Social Work Education
Our personal and collective experiences of ableism and disability brought us together to envision anti-ableist and disability justice pedagogies in social work education. We begin by describing, defining, and reviewing key terminology and concepts, including disability, ableism, and saneism, by drawing on social work and interdisciplinary literature and situating disabled students’ and educators’ experiences in social work education. We provide d…
Attention to disability in child protection policies across four liberal welfare regimes
PUBLISHED
Disability Is an Art. It's an Ingenious Way to Live.’
Disability communities engaged with social work recognize how critical feminist inquiry and disability justice principles often overlap to promote anti-ableist theorizing, research, practice, and education. Both the feminist scholarship and the disability justice movement center the voices and perspectives of those most excluded, reflecting the intersectional experiences of disability communities in social work. In this brief, we draw on signific…
Cut from the same cloth
Criminal Legal Systems and the Disability Community
While the scale and scope of the criminal legal system is often discussed with attention to racial disproportionalities, the fact that disabled people are overrepresented at all points in the system is less discussed by social workers. Disabled people come into contact with the criminal legal system as suspects, defendants, incarcerated persons, victims, and witnesses. Compared to people without disabilities, disabled people are more likely to ex…
Beyond Ramps, Curb Cuts, and Captions
In the United States and Canada, the adult disability community numbers 27 percent and 16 percent to 33 percent of the population, respectively (Statistics Canada, 2017; Varadaraj et al., 2019). Despite decades of advocacy, Disabled people continue to experience ableism—such as inaccessibility, stigma, and exclusion—in all realms of social work (Slayter & Johnson, 2022). In this Commentary, we use a mix of identity-first disability language and p…
Locating the Intersections of Disability, Race and Ethnicity in Adoption Rates among Foster Children Introduction
The promotion of speedy, permanent adoption outcomes for children in foster care whose parental rights have been terminated is a central child welfare policy goal. However, while both children of color and children with disabilities are at greater risk for child welfare involvement, little is known about influence of these intersecting identities on adoption rates. This cross-sectional national study draws on the Adoption and Foster Care Analysis…
Parents with intellectual disabilities in the child protection system
End-of-life trends and patterns among children in the US foster care system
Drawing on national, longitudinal Adoption and Foster Care Analysis, and Reporting System data (2005-2015), demographic, health, foster care, and geographic characteristics of decedents (N = 3653) aged 1-17 years were examined. On average, decedents were 6 years old, the highest proportion died as infants, and experienced significant trauma in their short lives either through maltreatment or exposure to parental substance use. A noted increase in…
Youth with disabilities in the United States Child Welfare System
Fear Factors and Their Effects on Child Protection Practice With Undocumented Immigrant Families—“A Lot of My Families Are Scared and Won't Reach Out”
This study analyzes child protection workers' perceptions of the causes of immigrant families' fears of child protection systems (CPS) and the effects of these fears on child protection practice based on 24 qualitative interviews conducted with child protection caseworkers in the Northeastern United States. Workers reported three major fear factors among immigrant families: fear of CPS involvement leading to detention and deportation, fear of chi…

Addressing Alcohol and Drug Addiction Among People With Mental Retardation in Nonaddiction Settings
People with mental retardation (MR) and addiction are an especially vulnerable population, yet evidence-based approaches to substance abuse (SA) treatment for this group are limited. Research suggests that SA-related services for this population are most likely received in nonaddiction settings that are generally focused on provision of mental health services to populations with MR and that might be unequipped for this work. This fact, combined w…
Not Immune
Youth with mental retardation* (MR) have experienced increasing levels of participation in community life over the last 30 years. This freedom has facilitated access to community life beyond school settings; it has also created the potential for alcohol and drug use and for the development of substance abuse (SA). Little is known about access to SA treatment for youth with MR—an especially vulnerable population. Through the application of a set o…
