Paper Instructions Description After reading the resources in Unit 5, you should now have a better understanding of the prevention of poverty from both a policy and an individual level. Now that we have a good background in social welfare, we are moving into specific types of policies that affect the disabled and elderly. The first of these topics is disability policy. As we learned from the last unit, it is hard to understand a certain type of policy without having a good definition. The first part of the unit will be spent defining the spectrum of disabilities before moving into a presentation of the specific laws that protect those with disabilities. The latter part of this unit will focus on the elderly and the policies that are in place to aid this ever-growing population. Objectives: Define disability and identify the problems associated with having varying definitions. Examine policies designed to safeguard the civil rights of individuals with disabilities, including the American with Disabilities Act and United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. Review policy implementation for the elderly and identify insufficient policy areas. Activities: Read, view, and engage with Readings and Resources. Participate in the weekly discussion forums.

Discussion Board Unit 6.1 DB: Disabilities – A ContinuumUnit 6.1 DB: Disabilities – A Continuum What are at least three problems associated with viewing disability as a binary condition rather than as a continuum? In addition, please research and share with the class a case of disability (physical, cognitive or mental) discrimination that is in the news today. What makes that case discrimination and what social welfare policy, if any, is being broken? How could it be resolved? Discussion Board Unit 6.2 DB: Case Vignette – The Calhoun’sUnit 6.2 DB: Case Vignette – The Calhoun’s Here is the scenario: You are a hospital social worker and Mr. and Mrs. Calhoun, an older Caucasian couple, came to your attention after Mrs. Calhoun had been hospitalized for dehydration. She was brought to the hospital-based on the recommendation of her primary care physician who had found her to be quite confused and delirious during her visit to the doctor’s office. Mrs. Calhoun had been stable for the past few days, but her age (73) and her confusion had flagged her as an at-risk patient who would need additional attention to develop a discharge plan. The Calhoun’s live in their own home and their only son lives about 20 minutes away and helps out fairly regularly. The Calhoun’s live modestly on their pension and social security. Mr. Calhoun indicated that he wanted his wife discharged to their home because he was quite capable of looking after her. Mr. Calhoun himself did not appear to have any observable limitations in his ability to carry out activities of daily living, although he did look tired. The Calhoun’s son stated he can only check in on the weekends. You are not entirely convinced of Mr. Calhoun’s ability to adequately care for his wife– she did after all have to be hospitalized for dehydration. According to the patient’s chart, Mrs. Calhoun’s confusion still seemed to persist, although she seemed okay when you spoke to her. The physician and the nursing staff want you to develop a discharge plan fairly quickly. What does your discharge plan include? Do you send Mrs. Calhoun home with in-home services? Do you send her for long-term care? Do you recommend follow up? What services (if any) do you recommend for Mr. Calhoun and/or their son? In the responses – share your thoughts to your peers’ recommendations for the Calhoun family.
