DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Excerpt from Facts About Crippled Children, 1943 At the present time many orthopedic surgeons and other physicians who formerly participated in the State services for crippled children are now serving in the armed forces. This has necessitated certain changes in State programs with regard to location and frequency of chnics, hospitals used, and number of physicians and surgeons engaged in providing diag nostic and treatment services. In some instances children in need of care cannot be furnished with the necessary medical, nursing, or physiotherapy services so promptly as formerly. In order to care for those most urgently in need of such services special consideration is given to those children with crippling conditions requiring prompt attention, which, if neglected for any considerable period, would have a detrimental effect upon the welfare of the chi d. The various war agencies concerned with rationing and priorities of materials have consistently given careful consideration to the special needs of crippled chi dren, particularly as these needs apply to the use of metal for braces, purchase of special shoes, and the rationing of gasoline for_ transporting the children to clinics for treatment. Safeguards have been provided that will permit continuation of the essential services to this group during the present national emergency.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Excerpt from Care and Education of Crippled Children in the United States This volume is intended to serve as a handbook for the use of those who are interested in the care of crippled children. It undertakes to give concrete information respecting 37 hospitals, convalescent institutions, and asylum homes whose work is so standardized as to permit of statistical treatment, and to give a brief outline of about the same number of institutions, schools, and societies which devote only a part of their effort and resources to crippled children, or whose work is less definitely developed and standardized. The rapid growth of work for crippled children since 1891 indicates an increasing recognition of the need, and the facts here given suggest the ways in which that need is to be met. It is hoped that the book will be especially useful to those who are considering the question of organizing work for crippled children. To this end the work is freely illustrated by plans and photographs, accompanied by comparative statistics of the cost of lands and buildings and the expenditures for maintenance. Especial attention is called to the work of the state institutions for crippled children in Massachusetts, New York, Minnesota, and Nebraska. These are the only institutions which are meeting adequately the needs of children in rural communities. It is doubtful whether the needs of these children can be met in any other way, and it is a significant fact that the states of Illinois and Ohio are contemplating the establishment of similar state institutions. In the Introduction and in the descriptions of particular institutions the effort has been made to bring out the spirit of courage and optimism which animates the crippled children themselves and all who work for them. In particular, too high praise cannot be given to the orthopedic surgeons whose technical skill and personal devotion have furnished the basis for all effective efforts in behalf of crippled children. The Department of Child-Helping of the Russell Sage Foundation will take pleasure in answering inquiries for information not covered by this volume.

Marini, Glover-Graf and Millington have done a remarkable job in the design of this highly unique book, that comprehensively and very thoughtfully addresses the psychosocial aspects of the disability experience. These highly respected scholars have produced a major work that will be a central text in rehabilitation education for years to come." From the Foreword by Michael J. Leahy, Ph.D., LPC, CRC Office of Rehabilitation and Disability Studies Michigan State University "This is an excellent book, but the best parts are the stories of the disabled, which give readers insights into their struggles and triumphs." Score: 94, 4 Stars--Doody's Medical Reviews What are the differences between individuals with disabilities who flourish as opposed to those who never really adjust after a trauma? How are those born with a disability different from individuals who acquire one later in life? This is the first textbook about the psychosocial aspects of disability to provide students and practitioners of rehabilitation counseling with vivid insight into the experience of living with a disability. It features the first-person narratives of 16 people living with a variety of disabling conditions, which are integrated with sociological and societal perspectives toward disability, and strategies for counseling persons with disabilities. Using a minority model perspective to address disability, the book focuses on historical perspectives, cultural variants regarding disability, myths and misconceptions, the attitudes of special interest and occupational groups, the psychology of disability with a focus on positive psychology, and adjustments to disability by the individual and family. A wealth of counseling guidelines and useful strategies are geared specifically to individual disabilities. Key Features: Contains narratives of people living with blindness, hearing impairments, spinal cord injuries, muscular dystrophy, polio, mental illness, and other disabilities Provides counseling guidelines and strategies specifically geared toward specific disabilities, including "dos and don'ts" Includes psychological and sociological research relating to individual disabilities Discusses ongoing treatment issues and ethical dilemmas for rehabilitation counselors Presents thought-provoking discussion questions in each chapter Authored by prominent professor and researcher who became disabled as a young adult
