Relationship Between Direct Out-Of-Pocket Costs And Intellectual Disabilities

Disability - if there is a parent or a child in the family that has a disability, this could affect the family especially if the child is used as a carer for their parents. In some cases respite care may be needed for families with family members that are disabled and this can cause family disruptions and inconsistency in a young persons care especially if the respite care is for overnight visits away from home.

ASDs are chronic conditions that begin in childhood and have potential to affect outcomes into adulthood. Primarily, ASDs are neurodevelopmental disorders. They are characterized by heterogeneous severity of the core impairments (social interaction, communication, behavioral). Their other symptoms include language delay and intellectual disability. Although ASDs have not been reported to be completely cured, the evidence-based interventions have been reported to improve the core impairments and their other symptoms. However, because of the expense associated with behavioral interventions, financing these evidence-based interventions to improve outcomes for children with ASDs has often been the subject of debate. In fact, to improve access to behavioral interventions for children with ASDs, several states have passed mandates. Additionally, evidence suggests improvement in insurance coverage for children with ASDs after the passage of mandate. Therefore, economic evaluation of evidence-based interventions for children with ASDs can contribute to development and dissemination of best practice standards, and also support policies to ensure access to effective

The challenges we face with access of care can extremely discriminate and damaging to individuals, families, and communities. Barriers of accommodation, availability, accessibility and acceptability are obstructions that need to be demolished. 28% of insured people with disabilities reported needing particular therapies, equipment or medications that were not covered by their health plans, compared to 7 percent of those without disabilities (N.O.D, 2000). Enforcement efforts recently have failed to bring a need change to the healthcare access for disable people. Regardless of their disability, they should have access to affordable, comprehensive, and adaptive

The health care system in the United States is complex, highly fragmented, and sometimes overly restrictive in terms of program eligibility. This leaves some people with disabilities with no health care coverage and others with cost-sharing obligations and limits on benefits that prevent them from obtaining health-preserving prescription medications, medical equipment, specialty care, dental and vision care, long-term care, and care coordination. Health and Health Disparities Research Dissonance is evident in the research goals and objectives of key agencies of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and the National Institutes of Health (NIH) between the longstanding public health goal of eliminating disability and disease

The labor force of the United States has changed drastically over the last forty years. According to the Department of Labor, in 2012, 64% of woman with children under the age of six are in the labor force. While only 34% of mothers were working in 1970 (Gullekson, Griffeth, Vancouver, Kovner, & Cohen, 2014). Furthermore, in 1974, 80% of kids under the age 17 were cared for by a parent (Morrissey & Warne, 2011). Given this dramatic increase of mothers in the workforce, there is a considerable amount of time missed by the working parent. On average, American working parents miss nine days of work per year and that number increases to thirteen as the child moves through daycare and into elementary school. Breakdowns in childcare cost businesses three billion dollars annually (Shellenback, 2004). Given these staggering numbers the demand for reliable and affordable childcare has never been bigger.

4)Long-term outcomes “Independence and a higher salary for individuals with disabilities will reduce the financial burdens and stress for family members and caregivers,” the following must be met to achieve this outcome.

People with disabilities have to face more within the health care system and obtaining access to care. Disability is not the same as poor health, persons with disabilities are less likely to work or have to work less hours and many have to obtain employer-sponsored health insurance. My paper focuses on access to health care for persons with disabilities (for me it is Multiple Sclerosis). In this paper I will discuss utilization and cost of services, and health insurance coverage of persons with disabilities.

Not only can lack of jobs lead to poor living conditions but also, studies have found that maternal hardship can hamper children’s social and cognitive competence (Mechanic & Tanner, 2007). Access to medical care may be hindered due to lack of job stability or inability to qualify for medical help (Mechanic & Tanner, 2007). All of these issues are ones that many face and that are extremely prevalent in the area I served in my practicum.

For public financing of health insurance coverage of children with special health care needs, Medicaid and CHIP covered about half (48%) of all children with special health care needs in 2016 (Musumeci & Foutz, 2018). For children with chronic needs, Medicaid covers long-term care services, such as private nursing, attendant care, and assistive technology, that help children with special health care needs remain at home with their families. It also offers non-emergency medical transportation to appointments and other services for children with multiple needs (Musumeci & Foutz,

The employment rate at the end of 2015 was 10.7 percent for the disabled. However, those without disabilities were at 5.1 percent. This news release also states workers with disabilities are three times more likely to be aged at 65 years old or higher. Also, persons with disabilities are less likely to have college degrees. This definitely impacts the earning

The happiest day of any parent’s life, the day they welcome their child into the world. The joy of having the beautiful baby placed in their arms, dreams of the life to come. That dream can frequently change to worry and concern that their baby may be faced with challenges the parents were not prepared to face. Challenges of physical, mental or functional disabilities add a level of need that until recently has not been addressed. In an article by Anderson (2001), in 2000, an estimated 125 million Americans had one or more chronic illnesses, 50 million had a disability, and fifteen million had a functional limitation. And with the projection that by 2020, 157

For my project I have chosen to compose a training guide for managers which provides them with information and skills necessary in order to recognize, empower and accommodate people with disabilities I believe that many people who are disabled and unemployed may want to work but may feel marginalized and like there is no place for them in the workforce. “People with a disability are among the most marginalized groups in the world, having poorer state of health, lower education achievements, less economic participation and higher rates of poverty than people without disabilities” (“The marginalized Billion”, 2013). I think that a work environment which recognizes, empowers and accommodates people with disabilities would realize an increase in the number of people with disabilities whom they employ. Disabled people would want to work in this environment because it

Disability is present in everywhere around the world, and its definition is quite complex and it differs across cultures. In general, it is considered as a Disabled Persons who had permanently loss or reduction of structure, or anatomical function, physiological, psychological or mental, generating inability to certain activities within the standard considered normal. The concept of disability includes impairments that prevent full and effective participation in society on an equal basis with others. For the final paper I chose to compare the disability employment between Brazil and Canada.

The increasing employment of mothers’ of young children affects children adversely (Cooksey, Joshi, Verropoulous, 2009). Early year

While analyzing the article by Parish et. al (2008) the reader could tell that having a child with a disability can cause financial hardships effecting the family’s meals, housing, and telephone services. As the research suggests 28% of children with disabilities are below the national poverty level (Parish et. al, 2008). The research would suggest the biggest barrier for families with a child with a disability would be money. Therefore parents may not be able to pay for services that could benefit their child.
