Formulation of Philippine Statement for input to the outcome document of the High Level Level Meeting on Disability and Development to be held in New York on September 23 2013.
The DAYC is a standardized assessment tool that was normed on a sample intended to match the US population demographics. Some key points about administering and scoring the DAYC include:
- The standardization sample sizes ranged from around 200 to 900 children for each 6-month age group from birth to 36 months.
- Items are scored 0 if the child cannot do it, 1 if they can do it now or are beginning to do it.
- Scoring begins with the highest 3 consecutive passed items and ends with the lowest 5 items including 3 failures.
- For premature children, the manual recommends using actual age but some recommend adjusted age to be consistent with other measures.
Physical disabilities include blindness, muteness, deafness, loss of limbs, and lack of coordination. Mental disabilities involve difficulties learning, reading, writing, or performing daily tasks independently. When interacting with handicapped persons, one should not mention their disability, allow them to participate in activities they can manage, and let them contribute in areas of strength rather than exempting them from work.
SHRM Survey Findings: 2013 Employer Perspectives on Disability Benefits--Base...shrm
This is part one of the five-part series conducted in collaboration with MassMutual. The majority (84%) of organizations provide group long-term disability insurance plans to their employees, but will the maximum benefit amount be enough for all employees to support themselves and their families?
The document discusses challenges in comparing disability statistics across Latin America due to varying definitions and methods of measuring disability. It also summarizes shifts from viewing disability solely as an individual medical issue to recognizing social and environmental barriers. While the ICF framework focuses on disability experiences, the document questions if this neglects understanding disease causes, which could impact evaluating health prevention programs.
Disabilities can occur at any age and for various reasons, and are defined as impairments, limitations in activities, or restrictions in participation. Causes of disabilities include both prenatal factors like genetic disorders, infections, or environmental exposures during pregnancy, as well as perinatal and postnatal causes such as prematurity, injuries, or illnesses. Prevention strategies aim to identify risks early through preconception counseling, prenatal screening, and newborn screening in order to provide early treatment or rehabilitation interventions that can reduce disabilities.

This document provides an overview of disability concepts and issues. It discusses the definition of disability according to the WHO and various classification systems. Approximately 15% of the global population lives with some form of disability. In India, the 2011 census found over 26 million persons with disabilities, around 2.21% of the population. Disabilities can be physical, sensory, intellectual, or mental and are caused by disease, trauma, or other health conditions. Evaluation of disability is important for service provision and policymaking. Barriers to healthcare and increased vulnerability affect those with disabilities. The document outlines concepts, statistics, and policy frameworks related to understanding disability worldwide and in India.
International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF):An ...Stefanus Snyman
The document discusses using the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) framework to guide interprofessional education and practice. A study was conducted where fourth-year health professions students applied the ICF framework in clinical case presentations which were then assessed by local interprofessional healthcare teams. Both students and health professionals reported improved interprofessional collaboration, patient-centered care, and patient outcomes as a result. The ICF framework also facilitated institutional and instructional reforms toward more holistic, bio-psycho-social approaches and strengthened health systems overall.

The document provides an overview of the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF). It describes the ICF as a WHO framework for classifying health and health-related domains to establish a common language for disability. The ICF classification includes components on body functions, structures, activities, participation, and environmental/personal factors. The document outlines the development, aims, applications and coding guidelines of the ICF to provide a standardized system for assessing functioning and disability.
The document discusses the International Classification of Disability. It provides definitions of impairment, disability, and handicap based on the World Health Organization's 1980 model. This model characterized impairment as a loss of body structure/function, disability as a limitation in activities, and handicap as a social disadvantage. The document also presents statistics on disability prevalence worldwide and discusses models of disability, including the traditional, medical, and social models.
This document explores representations of disability in different media formats through analyzing portrayals in films, television shows, newspapers, and telethons. It discusses common stereotypes of disabled characters, such as being pitiable, a victim of violence, sinister or evil. It also examines how media focuses on impairments and depicts disabled people as burdens. The document advocates for more respectful and authentic portrayals that reflect disability as a normal part of life and consult disabled audiences.
rights and legal aspects of disability in IndiaNeeraja Cj
The document discusses laws and policies related to disability rights in India. It provides an overview of the Indian Lunacy Act (1912), Mental Health Act (1987), Rehabilitation Council of India Act (1992), Persons with Disabilities Act (1995), National Trust Act (1999), Right to Education Act (2010) and the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. The key goals of these acts and policies are to empower and integrate persons with disabilities, ensure equal opportunities, and promote their full participation and independent living in society.
This document discusses disability and impairment in India. It begins with background on defining and understanding disability, noting it is complex with both medical and social aspects. Disability results from interactions between health conditions and environmental/personal factors. The document then discusses prevalence of disability in India, citing 2011 Census data that found over 26 million persons or 2.21% of the population identified as disabled. It increased from 2001. Most disabled persons live in rural areas and males have a higher proportion than females. The document provides definitions of disability types and risk factors like malnutrition, conflict, and traffic accidents. It also outlines government policies and schemes in India related to disability.
All hospitals should be disability friendly, to ensure easy movement of disable patients. The presentation arrives at a solution to the all above disability issues to serve as a guide line.
