Things they like and dislike. 6.3 Explain why an individual with learning disabilities may face additional barriers when accessing healthcare services An individual with learning disabilities may face additional barriers when accessing healthcare because they face problems within the community that someone without a learning disability can easily overcome. People with learning disabilities often have other health conditions such as hearing or sight problems. This can create barriers when accessing healthcare because they cannot interact with the environment like someone whose hearing and sight are not a problem. People with learning disabilities often have confidence issues and it can feel very daunting when required to access the community independently.
For example, communicating with people with special needs requires a lot of patience and understanding of the condition they are in, which can be difficult for many people. Also, catering for special needs (like employing people who can use sign language; using Braille; wheelchair access ramps and installing disabled toilets.) can be expensive, which is sometimes a problem for certain health and social care settings that cannot afford this. In addition, there is also the problem of not everyone being able to understand certain special needs communications, which can make communication difficult. Finally, sometimes having advocates or carers can be a problem if the person addressing the special needs person talks to their advocate rather than them.
Disabilities: Clients with disabilities such as sensory impairment often find it difficult to engage in treatment due to obvious barriers and under skilled staff. As a project we must utilise the resources available in the community to ensure that clients have equal opportunity to access treatment and their needs communicated affectively. We lack staff with the ability to sign language or even the programmes that cater for the visually or hearing impaired. We can access voice command technology in our IT suit to assist with clients in engaging treatment. We need to pool current internal resources within the staff structure that can sign language or fund training for staff to be skilled up.
Programs are needed to bring the people out to obtain better healthcare in rural areas but again the disparities they face are a stopping force. Because of this many interventionists fail to see the Return on Investment. Often more time, effort, finances and energy is put into providing quality healthcare in these areas. It is hard for the interventionists to see there ROI in the beginning. As the article stated the ROI is often seen many years later, being focused on certain health issues.
Many people who do not realize these dissociative experiences are greatly affected. Living life normally is very hard and for these people. Everyday life for them is different FROM those who are not dissociative. Dissociative states are very different from the outside world and thus can be very harmful to ones life which ultimately limits their perception of reality. CITATIONS Armstrong, Karen.
This is simply not the case; children are often provided with lots of support especially if they have a more severe form of autism. When they move into adult services it can be a big shock to the family when they see their support budget is usually reduced quite significantly. The transition stage is very difficult time as most people with ASD do not like change. For those who are able to and would like to work, actually finding work is not easy, this is mainly due to a lack of knowledge and understanding by the employer. There needs to more training available for both the employer and other employees to enable them to work with and offer the person with autism to hold down a job.
Although persistent pain in the person with dementia is difficult to communicate, diagnose and treat, failure to address persistent pain has profound functional, psychosocial and quality of life implications for this vulnerable population. Health professionals often lack the skills and usually lack the time needed to recognize, accurately assess and adequately monitor pain in people with dementia Family members and friends can make a valuable contribution to the care of a person with dementia by learning to recognize and assess their
They seem to have an effect upon all our lives whether it be direct or indirect. As they continue to administer treatment for people suffering from injury or disease, we can rest assure that people who need help are easily accessible to treatment. "They are willing to treat one wound.. over time though the change is small, changes add up. Sometimes they even transform cities, nations and yes the
Whether it was to try to help their parents make more money, or to feed themselves, they would work. Some of the problems the workers would have were the lack of time and of money. They worked under very poor conditions, and did not have many privileges. Incidents like the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory had major effects on the way the escapes in buildings were designed. Anyways all these incidents, made a difference, the government
For example, negotiating a complex health care system is almost impossible for many. Despite their heavy burden of illness, they lack access primary or preventive health services. In addition, transportation to and from medical appointments is often impossible because of timing and expense. Health cards, prescriptions and integrated health services are not usually within their grasp, although health and social policy dictates that they are entitled to these benefits. As a consequence, often the only health care homeless people receive is through the emergency department, which is costly and ineffective.” (Turnbull, Muckle, & Masters,
