Staying Employed
To obtain and maintain employment, workers with disabilities may need services and supports that are not covered by private or public health insurance plans. This study explores the services, supports, and accommodations that people with disabilities use to find and keep competitive employment; how they obtain needed supports; and the extent to which they pay out of pocket for work-related supports. We conducted an exploratory study using in-dept…
Intimate Partner Violence, Health Status, and Health Care Access Among Women with Disabilities
Effects of Welfare Reform on Statistics for Young Women With Disabilities
This article uses the Current Population Survey (CPS) data to show that changes in family policy implemented in the 1990s led to a substantial increase in the number of young women reporting work limitations. These changes also affected measures of socioeconomic outcomes for young women reporting limitations. Hence, the demographic changes mask the effects of changes in family policy and changes in other environmental factors on those outcomes. T…
Centers for independent living
This article describes Centers for Independent Living (CILs) and how they advocate for changes that build community capacity to include all citizens, including those with disabilities. In spring 2001, we mailed a survey to executive directors of all 238 centers that received funding under Title VII, chapter I, Part C of the Rehabilitation Act. Based upon executive directors’ responses, CILs promote integration of individuals with disabilities int…
Advocacy Issues and Strategies for the 21st Century
The authors conducted key informant interviews with 16 disability advocacy and research leaders; half of the interviews were with leaders in shaping national disability policy during and after passage of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, and half were with state and local leaders representing constituencies who had not had a visible presence at the national level. During audiotaped telephone interviews, we asked the informants to ident…
The disclosure conundrum
Research on the Lives of Persons with Disabilities
This article describes the significance of qualitative methodologies in capturing the complexities of the disability experience. The authors discuss some of the principles of qualitative research and show how those principles lend themselves to the new disability paradigm that has emerged in the last 20 years. They give examples of three disability studies in which qualitative methods were used to shed light on the complex interrelationships amon…
Health Plan Selection Criteria by People With Impaired Mobility
BACKGROUND: Many decision-support tools for consumers selecting a health plan include a module measuring peer-group satisfaction with service and quality of care. The most widely used tools are sufficient for most people, but fail to report measures that are important to many individuals with disabilities. OBJECTIVES: To elicit health plan selection and assessment criteria by groups of people with one type of functional impairment arising from di…
Re-authorization of the Rehabilitation Act
The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) is widely hailed as a sweeping piece of civil rights legislation that will dramatically affect the lives of individuals with disabilities in the US for generations. In contrast, the re-authorisation of the Rehabilitation Act in 1992, and attempts to consolidate the rehabilitation programme for people with disabilities into a generic, consolidated employment system for the general public in 1995 brought on…
