Design procedures for suppoert for people with disabilities?
348402
In Britain, there are design standards for accessible housing known as BSA standards (British Standards Authority).\n\nFor example a lift must be a minimum of 1100 x 1400 mms, deeper than it is wide. (to get a wheelchair in)\n\nA ramp must be no steeper than 1 in 12 gradient maximum.\n\nThere are detailed specifications for the features of an accessible toilet and bathroom, that mean a wheelchair can get in, can turn round and can draw alongside a toilet-seat for a transfer from chair to seat, side-by-side.\n\nPart M of the Building Regukations also provides guidance.\n\nAny planning application for a new building needs to demonstrate that it has considered access issues before a Local Authority will grant planning permission.\n\nIn Wales, Northern Ireland and in London (but not in Scotland or the rest of England) (yet) all new housing must meet the Lifetime Homes Standard and 10% of it must meet the (higher) Wheelchair Accessibility Standard

Generally, the rule is to teach through doing. Task analyze the skill you are teaching, and at the point in each step where a safety issue appears, include proper guidance to make sure the person is doing it safely.\n\nMost people who are developmentally disabled do not generalize skills, and so you can't just teach "Don't touch hot," or "always cut away from yourself with a knife" and expect them to understand how to apply it. They must learn it through each procedure you teach.\n\nHere are some resources:\n\nLook through the publications listed by the ARC...some of these address what you are looking for... http://www.thearc.org/publications/\n\nhttp://www.naset.org/resources4specialed.0.html\n\nhttp://www.aamr.org/Policies/faq_toc.shtml\n\nhttp://www.portlandonline.com/police/index.cfm?c=daghh\n\nhttp://www.workshopsinc.com/manual/Teach.html\n\nhttp://www.rfgreen.com/newtassel/

With out know which impairment the child has I can only offer a generalization.\n\nThink about the activity and which senses it involves.\nWhat do you want the child to learn?\nCan the activity be accomplished using other senses?\n\nThink of it like solving a puzzle and Try imposing the same impairment on yourself and experiment with different ways to achieve what effect you want.

At my school, the specialist uses magnification style reading tools.  Sort of like an overhead machine that you can put in a document and magnify it.  It all depends on the specific impairment.

Hi there, ive got Cerebral Palsy and had so much pain in my hip i was thinking of going into a wheelchair permenantly as walking and standing was so painful. Acupuncture was my last resort, i have to admit i was sceptical, and really not keen on the idea of needles. I approached my physio who had recently qualified to do it, we've known each other about 9 years and she has a great reputation. I have to say trust is really important, so do stick with the same person. I had a few treatments before i felt the benefit, but believe me, it really worked! I have had no problems since. Give it a good chance. Hope this helps xxxx

I'm not sure which type of "special needs label" that you are asking about or if you are looking for information in general. The answers could be very different for a child with a physical disability verses a child with autism, for example. I hope my information will help you. :)\n\nYou could look up "Picture Exchange Communication System" or PECS. There are many picture cards available that you might be able to use to make in instructional chart or flip book of steps of independent eating. \n\nYou might also try the book, "Just Take A Bite: Easy, Effective Answers to Food Aversions and Eating Challenges" by Dr. Lori Ernsperger and Tania Stegen-Hanson. I have not read this book yet, so I'm not sure how useful it would be, but it is the only book on this topic that I am currently familiar with. Good luck and I hope this helps!

Shampoo boards work great, but you have to follow a special procedure.\n\nStart by looking at the photo on Amazon (see link)\n\nAlso inflatable cushion trays for bed use (see link)\n\nFinally call the local Paralyzed Veterans of America and the  ARC in your area and ask for guidelines.
