Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The future of disability in America will depend on how well the U.S. prepares for and manages the demographic, fiscal, and technological developments that will unfold during the next two to three decades. Building upon two prior studies from the Institute of Medicine (the 1991 Institute of Medicine's report Disability in America and the 1997 report Enabling America), The Future of Disability in America examines both progress and concerns about continuing barriers that limit the independence, productivity, and participation in community life of people with disabilities. This book offers a comprehensive look at a wide range of issues, including the prevalence of disability across the lifespan; disability trends the role of assistive technology; barriers posed by health care and other facilities with inaccessible buildings, equipment, and information formats; the needs of young people moving from pediatric to adult health care and of adults experiencing premature aging and secondary health problems; selected issues in health care financing (e.g., risk adjusting payments to health plans, coverage of assistive technology); and the organizing and financing of disability-related research. The Future of Disability in America is an assessment of both principles and scientific evidence for disability policies and services. This book's recommendations propose steps to eliminate barriers and strengthen the evidence base for future public and private actions to reduce the impact of disability on individuals, families, and society.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report reviews federal laws and programs affecting persons with disabilities and assesses the extent to which they: provide incentives or disincentives to the establishment of community-based services for handicapped individuals; promote the full integration of such individuals in the community, in schools, and in the workplace; and contribute to the independence and dignity of such individuals. An introductory chapter provides a description of the demographics of the U.S. disabled population. A list of federal programs serving people with disabilities is prioritized according to federal expenditures, with an estimated number of persons with disabilities served. Summarized are the National Council on the Handicapped's legislative recommendations in 10 issue areas: equal opportunity laws; employment; disincentives to work under social security laws; prevention of disabilities; transportation; housing; community-based services for independent living; educating children with disabilities; personal assistance such as attendant services, readers, and interpreters; and coordination. The recommendations propose modifications in the expenditure of disability-related dollars to improve the ability of persons with disabilities to live with dignity and as independently as possible within their communities. The report concludes with biographies of Council members. (JDD)
