Moving from Independence to Interdependence
This article provides a brief historical review of disability and personal and environmental limitations to community participation. Attention is given to policies that have limited consumer choice and to the pushback from disability rights advocates. These advocates eventually started the independent living movement as a reaction to the medical model that identifies disability as a personal defect rather than an environmental limitation. The aut…
Measuring health-related quality of life for persons with mobility impairments
Consumer Perspective
The purpose of this qualitative study is to gain a better understanding of disaster preparedness for and the difficulties faced by persons with mobility impairments to guide future research and policy development. From an online Internet survey, 56 persons with mobility impairments who have experienced a catastrophic event described what was helpful for survival, what difficulties were experienced during and after the event, lessons learned, and …
Emergency Response Training Practices for People With Disabilities
Each year thousands of people are potentially affected by the types of emergency preparedness and response training plans practiced in their communities. Between 1998 and 2002, 3,000 counties in the United States declared disasters that have included floods, tornadoes, hurricanes, winter storms, thunderstorms, fires, ice storms, and earthquakes. Emergency preparedness for all people, including people with disabilities, may involve natural disaste…
Disaster Preparedness and Response for Persons With Mobility Impairments
The objective of this study was to assess the impact of a major disaster on county-level preparedness for persons with mobility disabilities. The authors surveyed 30 randomly selected Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) disaster sites between 1998 and 2003 to determine disability surveillance capacity, the extent to which the disaster experience influenced changes in policies and practices, whether persons with disabilities were involved i…
Katrina and Other Disasters
Do They Get It
This exploratory study investigated the opinions and knowledge of persons with mainly psychiatric disabilities in regards to research and the research process. A survey/test was administered before and after the study participants read a short primer that used a short-story format to describe how research is conducted and that provided the outline of a research article. Following the survey, a short discussion period was held to address the parti…
A contextual‐behavioral model of empowerment
When people with disabilities, ethnic minorities, older adults, women, and others lack power, they usually experience adverse conditions disproportionate to other members of society. Emproverment—the process by which people gain some control over valued events, outcomes, and resources—is an important construct for understanding and improving the lives of people of marginal status. This manuscript presents a contextual‐behavioral model of empowerm…
National and Community Service
The recently implemented National and Community Service Act of 1990 calls for Americans of all race, age, ability, and economic status to return to service in their community. To help facilitate this call to service, the National Commission on Community Service has allocated approximately 70 million dollars in grants. The Act focuses on the involvement of youth, including those who are economically disadvantaged and with disabilities. This paper …
