Full textAbstract:
Youth with disabilities are overrepresented in the juvenile justice system, but few studies have investigated the mechanisms by which this occurs. In this study, we considered how juvenile court adjudication and length of commitment in secure facilities contributed to disproportionality in court involvement and detention, addressing an important gap in the intersection of disability and juvenile justice literature. Using linked educational and juvenile justice records of 41,812 youth, we sought to ascertain whether, among juvenile offenders, youth with disabilities had higher likelihood of adjudication as delinquent or placement in secure facilities for longer periods of time compared to youth without disabilities. Results indicated that youth with and without disabilities were adjudicated and placed similarly, suggesting that disparities contributing to overrepresentation of youth with disabilities in detained populations may manifest earlier in youths’ involvement in the justice system. We conclude with implications for research, policy, and practice.

In an open letter addressed to Israeli educators, Rabbi Shai Piron, then Education Minister, announced the theme of the 2013–14 academic year to be ‘Him Is Me’. As part of the implementation of Piron's programme, the Ministry published a list of recommended children's books about ‘the Other’, which is still used by educators. This article reflects upon and analyses books for ages four to eight included in this list that focus on children with disabilities. At first glance, it seems that the books call for full social inclusion of disabled children, thereby accomplishing the goals set by the ministry. However, a thorough textual analysis raises questions as to the true messages hidden between the lines of some of the works, questions about how far ‘otherness’ is embraced and acknowledged.

Purpose This narrative review aims to examine how trans people with intellectual disabilities are perceived and discussed in the academic literature. Design/methodology/approach A narrative review was carried out to better understand the positioning of people with intellectual disabilities who identify as trans. Findings There was a lack of clear terminology, an over medicalization of both people with intellectual disabilities and trans people and evidence that identifying with a non-conforming gender identity was seen as a problem by services. Services need to be better informed about issues around gender identity so that they are able to better support trans people with intellectual disabilities. Originality/value To the best of the authors’ knowledge, no previous literature review has focused only on trans people with intellectual disabilities.

Full textAbstract:
The ongoing coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has affected the global population, especially the vulnerable groups such as children, the elderly, indigenous people, and people with disabilities. Restriction and limited access to education, health, and public services due to measures taken to cope with the pandemic have made life even more difficult for people with disabilities, particularly those with intellectual ones. People with intellectual disabilities were not counted as a high-risk population, thus being excluded in most public health measurements that are done to encounter the pandemic. Several investigations have been conducted to explore the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on children, women, and the elderly, yet very few discussed how pandemics affected people with intellectual disabilities. This article is a review of existing literature using Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) keywords like “COVID-19” and “intellectual disabilities” which was conducted in Pubmed, Web of Science, Mendeley, Google Scholar and ResearchGate to find related studies. Here we reviewed studies on the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on people with intellectual disabilities, including access to education, healthcare, public services, and other related concerns. We also discussed the inclusivity of COVID-19 prevention and control measures taken so far and how it should be designed to accommodate people with intellectual disabilities. This review is expected to provide an insight for the stakeholders and policymakers to employ better and more inclusive approach in the management of pandemic to ensure the wellbeing and rights of people with disabilities in general and people with intellectual ones in particular.

Purpose This paper aims to discuss the barriers that people with intellectual disabilities face to come out as transgender in the context of a paucity of research with or about this group. Design/methodology/approach The commentary and brief overview of trans participation in literature on people with intellectual disabilities presented in this paper is informed by a Queer Theory and Critical disabilities Studies approach. Findings Researchers in this area are correct that there is insufficient literature that addressed the experiences of trans people with intellectual disabilities; however, for trans people with intellectual disabilities to be involved in research they must first be safe to self-identify and come out in their communities and services. Existing research suggests that people with intellectual disabilities may face additional barriers to self-identifying as LGTBQ, and that for those who have claimed a trans identity, it is not safe to come out. Social implications There is a need for researchers and professional and lived experience experts to be engaged in policy and social research with the aim of creating safe spaces and communities for people with intellectual disabilities to explore and affirm their gender. Originality/value There are no published papers that redirect focus from a paucity of research into the experiences of trans people with intellectual disabilities towards addressing why trans people with intellectual disabilities may choose not to come out in a context of hostility towards transgender identity in disabilities services.

Full textAbstract:
Background: Faith beliefs, and associated cultural beliefs, play an important role in affecting response to disability. There is no systematic review of how Hindu beliefs affect approaches to people with disabilities. The majority of the world’s Hindus live in India, as do a large number of people with disabilities. Therefore, this article seeks to explore the positive and negative ways that Hindu beliefs affect people with disabilities in India.
Methods: We undertook a scoping review of the available literature aiming to explore the barriers and enablers for people with disabilities provided by Hindu beliefs and practices. The databases PubMed, Scopus and PsycInfo were systematically searched and several additional articles from other sources were included from searching the grey literature.
Results: Historically, the literature indicates that Indian Hindu karmic beliefs have advanced the view that people with disabilities are deserving of their condition. This literature suggests that this view continues into the present and can lead to stigmatisation of both people with disabilities and their families. In turn, this karmic understanding of disability can discourage people with disabilities from accessing medical treatment. Additionally, certain Hindu tribal remedies for disability may cause bodily harm and prevent the person concerned from receiving allopathic treatment. It was also documented that the attitude of Indian doctors toward people with disabilities are negatively affected by Hindu beliefs. One research study suggested karmic beliefs can benefit families of people with disabilities by providing them with a context for suffering.
Conclusion: The study shows that Hindu religious belief effects, mostly negatively, the response to disability. This is important to consider when undertaking disability and inclusive development activities in India.

This research aims to examine whether people in Indonesia have implemented the values of Pancasila in realizing tolerance for people with disabilities. In reality, as we know, there are still many cases of discrimination against people with disabilities, there is still a lack of availability of special facilities for people with disabilities, and weak law enforcement. The research method used is a qualitative method. By using literature review data collection techniques by reviewing various literature such as articles and journals that are relevant to the topic of discussion, as well as using interview techniques. It is hoped that the results of this research can increase insight and understanding of the implementation of Pancasila values in realizing tolerance for people with disabilities so that we are able to become a society that is tolerant towards people with disabilities and can provide support in the form of participation, as well as disseminating information through social media in realizing the importance of tolerance towards people with disabilities.

Full textAbstract:
People with physical disabilities not only have functional limitations but also have more risks related to health problems and social barriers faced than non-disabled people. Studies have shown that people with disabilities tend to have a low quality of life. The purpose of this study was to determine the determinants of quality of life in people with physical disabilities. The study design used literature review by analyzing articles that discuss the determinants of quality of life of people with physical disabilities. Article searches were conducted on three databases including Scopus, EBSCOhost and Google Scholar with the keywords Determinants, Quality of Life, and Physical Disability. Articles used in Indonesian and English with a time span between 2012 and 2022. Searching articles using keywords on Scopus found 176 articles, 57 articles on EBSCOhost Medline and 210 articles from Google Scholar. Furthermore, screening was carried out so as to produce 9 articles that are relevant and in accordance with the objectives of this literature review. The results found that gender, age, degree of disability, availability of assistive devices, access to health information, psychological factors, family support, social support and stigma and accessibility are determinants of quality of life of physical disability. Knowledge of the determinants of quality of life for people with physical disabilities can help health workers and relevant agencies to design interventions and provide appropriate support for them.

Full textAbstract:
People with intellectual disabilities experience stigma and discrimination. In caring for people with intellectual disabilities, special attention should be paid to respecting their dignity and subjectivity. The aim of this study is to emphasize the importance of respecting the dignity and subjectivity of adults with intellectual disabilities and the importance of communicating with them. The paper is based on a literature analysis of intellectual disability issues. The literature analysis indicates that the subject of intellectual disability concerns the subjectivity and the dignity of the people as well as the barriers to communication with the environment and medical personnel. It is fundamental to conduct research into care of people with intellectual disabilities. In addition, there is a need to organize training for all members of the therapeutic team, especially in the area of communication issues with people with intellectual disabilities.

Findings The literature prioritises internet safety for people with learning disabilities. There is limited attention to how people can be supported to use social media to enhance their social and/or sexual lives. Originality/value The commentary challenges the reader to consider how the internet and social media can be used to help people with learning disabilities develop and maintain relationships including sexual relationships.

Bereavement and loss are common experiences. Two groups frequently neglected at such times are children and people with learning disabilities. This paper considers those falling in both these groups – children with learning disabilities. There is little direct evidence on how to help children with learning disabilities with grief. A brief review of the literature on bereavement in children is followed by a consideration of what this means for people with learning disabilities. Emphasis is placed on the behavioural indicators that a child is not coping; preparing a child for loss; and supporting a child with learning difficulties to cope with grief.

Full textAbstract:
Background: There is a significant gap in employment between people with and without disabilities, despite the importance of work in achieving their independence, autonomy, and integration into society. There are several reasons that cause this gap to exist, such as: people with disabilities feel less prepared, there is a stigma or discrimination to hire people with disabilities and the incompatibility of schedules due to medical issues, among others. That is why entrepreneurship emerges as a good option for the integration of people with disabilities in our society, improves their confidence and promotes some of the Sustainable Development Goals set out in the 2030 Agenda. According to existing literature, people with disabilities have certain virtues such as resilience and motivation that favor entrepreneurship. Thus, the purpose of this study is to provide new insights into the variables that determine the entrepreneurial intention of people with disabilities. Methods: In order to respond to this objective, an online questionnaire was given to people with disabilities between the ages of 16 and 65 years, residing in diverse regions of Spain. To analyze the results, this study uses Partial Least Squares-Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) in a sample of 235 people with disabilities in Spain using as a framework Krueger´s improved model, adding resilience as a new variable. Results: The results reflect the importance of resilience, the subjective norm, and perceived collective efficacy in the entrepreneurial processes of people with disabilities. Conclusions: This study contributes to the underdeveloped literature on entrepreneurship in people with disabilities; it provides insights that can have a practical effect on the reduction of the inequality gap between people with and without disabilities making recommendations to clinicians, vocational psychologists, and policymakers; also, this study would advance the achievement of Sustainable Development Goals 8 and 10.

Full textAbstract:
Article 67, paragraph 1, of Law Number 2, Year 2022 states that every company is obliged to provide protection in accordance with the type and degree of disability. However, in reality, there are still many companies that accept people with disabilities as workers without providing appropriate services. There is still discrimination, stigma, prejudice, and bad stereotypes about people with disabilities who work. Therefore, researchers want to know the forms of discrimination experienced by workers with disabilities. Researchers used a literature review approach by searching for data related to social inclusion for people with disabilities in the workplace through supporting data sourced from national and international research journals. From the results that have been obtained, researchers found that the form of discrimination that arises in the work environment is that there are still many non-disabled employees who look down on them, such as considering that employees with disabilities are childish, incompetent, dangerous, cannot complete tasks optimally, and have deviant sexual disorders. In addition, employers impose restrictions on working hours for people with disabilities, lack of access to flexible transportation, and assigning tasks that are in a quiet and monotonous place make employees with disabilities uncomfortable, not invited to discuss and left to sit in the chair alone. From several cases that have been obtained by researchers, it can be concluded that social inclusion in the field of employment for people with disabilities is still not fully inclusive. And the laws that have been made by the government still cannot be implemented perfectly.

BACKGROUND: When linking the employment rate, retention rate, and the cost of turnover, the data suggest educators, rehabilitation counselors, and employment providers need to teach people with disabilities job retention skills to improve employment outcomes. OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this narrative literature review was to (a) identify evidence-based job retention interventions for people with disabilities and (b) identify specific skills which may be beneficial to teach to adults with disabilities in postsecondary education, adult education or employment services to improve the employment retention outcomes. METHODS: A systematic review of peer-reviewed quantitative research published from 1994 –June 2019 resulted in 6 articles meeting the inclusion criteria. RESULTS: Four intervention strategies showed statistically significant improvement in job retention for people with disabilities. The first strategy was developing and applying individuals’ self-determination/self-advocacy skills in discussing accommodations and resolving work-related challenges. Other intervention strategies with statistically significant impacts on job retention included social skills, learning how to manage medications, and receiving natural supports on the job. CONCLUSIONS: Implementation of job retention interventions may result in valuable skill sets for people with disabilities. Discrete intervention strategies and skill sets were found in the review of literature. A replication of studies with participants from diverse socio-economic backgrounds is needed to fully understand the potential of these job retention intervention strategies to improve employment outcomes for individuals with disabilities.

In recent years, a growing number of educational initiatives designed for current and future professionals have sought the active involvement of patients and users. Recent reviews have explored different aspects of these initiatives. However, they do not distinguish between the involvement of people with disabilities and that of other users. This review describes the main features of educational initiatives in the fields of education, health and social sciences that actively seek the involvement of people with disabilities. Our systematic approach identified 20 projects. We analyzed their nature, the actors involved, and their documented outcomes. This review shows that to improve professional practice and the quality of services given to people with disabilities, it is important to seek their active participation in educational initiatives targeting learners from a range of disciplines and to use a diversity of teaching strategies. Recommendations to consider when implementing such initiatives are also discussed.

This study aims to disclose the impact of Islamic law and Indonesian state law on organizing zakat distribution for persons with disabilities. Utilizing a descriptive comparative methodology, this study analyzes how both Islamic law and Indonesian state law influence efforts to provide zakat funds to people with disabilities in Indonesia. We examined scholarly literature, reports, articles on Fiqh Zakat, zakat distribution, the rights of people with disabilities, and regulations to obtain pertinent background knowledge. A comparative analysis assessed the impact of the similarities and differences between these laws on the right to receive zakat. The findings evaluate the contribution of zakat distribution to addressing the needs of people with disabilities from the perspectives of both Islamic law and state law. This study emphasizes the importance of protecting individuals with disabilities in various countries, including those with secular legal frameworks, as a crucial aspect of social policies. It advocates equal access to education, healthcare, and employment opportunities, fostering inclusivity and eliminating discrimination.

Full textAbstract:
Achieving healthy weight for people with disabilities in the United States is a challenge. Obesity rates for adults and children with disabilities are significantly higher than for those without disabilities, with differences remaining even when controlling for other factors. Reasons for this disparity include lack of healthy food options for many people with disabilities living in restrictive environments, difficulty with chewing or swallowing food, medication use contributing to changes in appetite, physical limitations that can reduce a person’s ability to exercise, constant pain, energy imbalance, lack of accessible environments in which to exercise or fully participate in other activities, and resource scarcity among many segments of the disability population. In order for there to be a coordinated national effort to address this issue, a framework needs to be developed from which research, policy, and practice can emerge. This paper reviews existing literature and presents a conceptual model that can be used to inform such a framework, provides examples of promising practices, and discusses challenges and opportunities moving forward.

Full textAbstract:
People with disabilities are generally not considered as able participants in the workforce (paid or volunteer work) and therefore, they often experience exclusion from participating in mainstream employment opportunities. People with disabilities experience various barriers to employment, such as discrimination in the workplace, stigma, prejudice and stereotypes. However, some people with disabilities participate in the workforce and make valuable contributions towards economic development, social capital and wider society. This literature review summarises published research findings about the challenges that people with disabilities experience in pursuing employment opportunities, including volunteering and paid positions; and in undertaking these roles. Furthermore, it explores possible interventions to improve employment outcomes that are effective from the perspectives of people with disabilities. Findings indicate that effective practice takes an inclusive approach and allows clients to take ownership of solutions in relation to addressing the challenges they experience in the employment sector. For this reason, two different community development projects, which particularly focused on employment challenges for people with disabilities, as well as outlining strategies and solutions that promote client ownership were reviewed. Additionally, employment support techniques and strategies, as well as human rights’ principles on work and employment for people with disabilities will be debated. Finally, implications for research and practice for the rehabilitation counselling profession and the disability employment services sector are discussed.

Purpose – Attention disorders in people with intellectual disabilities (ID) is common. Current drug treatments are based on the literature in people without ID. The purpose of this paper is to present a review of the drug treatment of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) in people with ID in the German and English languages literature with the aim of exploring the current evidence base. Design/methodology/approach – The paper provides a general review of the evidence base on drug treatment of ADHD in people with ID from the German and English language literature. Findings – Studies and practice guidance on ADHD in both languages are similar with more information published in English. Much of the evidence on drug therapy to treat ADHD in people with ID is based on studies in children. The literature on ADHD in children without ID is helpful but not specific to all people with ID who have ADHD. The response rates to medication to treat ADHD in people with ID are lower than in people without ID. The occurrence of side effects from medication is more common in people with ID. Co-morbid disorders are often present in people with ADHD that could affect study findings. Practical implications – Medication used to treat ADHD is effective when treating ADHD in people with ID. Prescribers should be aware of guidelines on medication and their potential drug interactions and side effects. Newer drugs could offer more effective treatments because of fewer adverse effects than current medications. Originality/value – The general review offers an insight in to the literature in German and English on ADHD in ID comparing what is published in both languages.

Abstract: People with disabilities find it difficult to live independently and work like the general public. The lack of public service facilities, especially libraries, has not been able to provide easy access to literacy resources. The presence of literacy inclusion in library services is an effort to create a library environment that is friendly to people with disabilities. The purpose of this study is to find out how literacy inclusion can be a foundation for libraries to meet the needs of people with disabilities and develop services that are in accordance with the principles of inclusion. The research method uses narrative literature review. The results of this study underscore the complexity of literacy inclusion in the library context and view it as a concept that involves not only technical and service aspects, but also community engagement, identity formation, inclusive pedagogy, and advocacy.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractThis article summarizes the results of a literature review conducted as part of the National Beyond Tokenism Research Study. People with intellectual and developmental disabilities have begun to be included on boards and policymaking organizations, but the roles given to them have often been tokens—symbolic gestures that result in presence without genuine inclusion. To better understand the advances that have been made and the barriers that people with developmental disabilities still encounter, a comprehensive review of the literature on how people with complex and high support needs are engaged in leadership development, public policy advocacy, and community activities was conducted. The analysis identified key gaps in information about the degree of influence in leadership and organizational decision making exercised by people with complex needs. These results reflected the need for additional research to better understand how far people with developmental disabilities have moved “beyond tokenism” and into authentic leadership roles, which informed other activities conducted as part of the National Beyond Tokenism Research Study.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to offer an introduction to the recently recognised phenomenon of “mate crime” as it affects people with learning disabilities. It looks at how concerns arose, considers what may make people with learning disabilities particularly susceptible, and proposes a provisional definition of “mate crime”. Design/methodology/approach – The paper draws on the author's own project work, and reviews the extant research literature on “disablist” hate crime to examine the extent to which so-called “mate crime” has been both explicitly and implicitly identified and analysed in the literature. Findings – The literature review indicates that “mate crime” has not been explicitly identified in any scholarly research to date, either under that or any other name. Crimes that we might label as “mate crimes” have, however, appeared in more general literature concerning the experiences of people with disabilities in general, and as victims of crime. Social implications – Despite a lack of firm data there is sufficient in the literature, combined with increasing anecdotal evidence and case studies, to suggest that people with learning disabilities are particularly susceptible to “mate crime”, and are being targeted by perpetrators. Increasing independence and reduced service provision are likely to increase the risks. The author argues that mate crime differs significantly from other manifestations of hate crime and abuse, and needs to be conceptualised, analysed and handled differently. Originality/value – Whilst the issue of “mate crime” is gaining increasing professional and media attention it lacks any academic base and a definition. This paper attempts to establish an agreed definition and conceptualisation of “mate crime”.

Full textAbstract:
Scholars believe that people with disabilities are a largely untapped and under-utilised hospitality-industry employment pool. In 2020, it was estimated that only 22.5% of people with disabilities were in full-time employment, in comparison to 69.3% of people without disabilities [1]. With approximately one in four New Zealanders identifying as living with disability, there is an opportunity for New Zealand’s hospitality industry to realise great value from having disability-inclusive workplaces.
Our study aimed to identify the benefits of, and barriers to, employing people with disabilities in the hospitality industry. The research was carried out by undertaking a systematic literature review, which can identify, evaluate and integrate an existing body of relevant scholarly literature [2]. In order to search for literature as widely as possible, keywords relevant to the study were entered into two internet browsers: Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome. Keywords were then entered into Google Scholar and the Scopus database in order to filter for specific tourism and hospitality journals. In total, our search found 173 journal articles relevant to the topic.
The retrieved literature revealed a number of benefits related to the inclusive employment of people with disabilities in the hospitality industry. People with disabilities were found to be loyal employees; it has been shown that they are committed to their employing organisation, minimising their likelihood of leaving, and thus reducing the rate of staff turnover. People with disabilities were also found to be engaged employees; it has been shown that employing people with disabilities increases the level of productivity, efficiency and creativity within the workplace. Lower rates of absenteeism were recorded in comparison to employees without disabilities, as well as higher levels of customer satisfaction and a greater sense of corporate social responsibility.
Inclusive employment can highlight an organisation’s dedication to social inclusion and be a key differentiation strategy that is highly regarded by internal and external stakeholders, thus promoting a positive organisational image and reputation. These benefits are achievable given there are few entry barriers to hospitality industry roles that do not require much previous work experience – for example, kitchenhand or housekeeping. Additionally, the nature of the tasks within the hospitality industry are considered more routine and repetitive.
A number of challenges and barriers to the employment of people with disabilities were found, mostly related to prejudice and discrimination by human resource managers, general management and existing employees. Documented concerns were related to the perceived skills and abilities of the potential employee with a disability, and whether they had the required knowledge for the role or the industry. Additionally, others in the organisation often (mis)perceived that people with disabilities are costly to accommodate. In fact, the opposite has been found to be true. The literature also revealed limited, or lack of, access to further training or education for human resource managers around how they could better support employees with disabilities.
To conclude, our research has revealed a broad and increasing body of scholarship on the employment of people with disabilities, identifying recommendations for the hospitality industry. Of particular note is the social value for hospitality employers of employing people with disabilities; there is a need to look beyond the disability at hand, and to instead view the individual’s abilities and skills, and the positive characteristics that they could bring as a potential employee. The social value of employing people with disabilities includes an increased sense of acceptance, belonging and diversity within the workplace. It was also highlighted that any initial accrued costs from accommodations needed to support the ongoing performance of employees with disabilities would also likely benefit customers with disabilities and future employees with disabilities in the longer term. Moreover, relevant national and international legislation, such as the United Nations Convention of the Rights of People with Disabilities (2006), Human Rights Act (1993), and the Bill of Rights (1990), provides a comprehensive framework that outlines the standard of accessibility and inclusivity that hospitality organisations should aim for, both now and in the future.

School policies have increasingly criminalized students for common developmentally appropriate behaviors, such as talking back, public displays of affection, or repeated tardiness. Although their behaviors are no more problematic than their peers, children of color and children of color with disabilities are punished at higher rates. The increasing number of police in schools has also increased the number of arrests. In some cities, schools are the primary referral source to juvenile court. The literature on implicit bias, decision-making, and discipline disparities suggests new policy approaches: Evidence-based measures can disrupt these pathways to the justice system. A range of solutions could fortify efforts to protect all students and promote positive school climate.

Full textAbstract:
There is a scarcity of information about the experience of people with intellectual disabilities in the medication use process. Six people with intellectual disabilities consented to be interviewed by a pharmacist to determine their knowledge and views of medication use. Data from semi-structured interviews were analysed using a grounded theory approach. Self-determination and risk to the quality of the medication use process were identified as theories. Literature review provided two explanations—vulnerabilities of people with intellectual disabilities in healthcare and pharmacists have a role to play in ensuring a quality medication use process for people with intellectual disabilities. People with intellectual disabilities may be ‘expert patients’ and can provide valuable insights into their experience of medication use. They may be ‘high risk’ patients but may not be recognized as such by pharmacists.

As part of Indonesian citizens, it is appropriate for people with disabilities to receive the rights that should be granted by the State. However, in reality, not all people with disabilities have these rights. This research aims to find out the role of the Labuhanbatu Regency Social Service in providing services to people with disabilities. The technique used for collecting data was conducting field studies, namely by conducting observations, interviews and documentation. Apart from that, literature studies are also carried out, searching for information and reviewing scientific books, newspapers, written works that are related to the problem under study and other literature references. Based on the research that has been carried out, the results of this research show that the services for people with disabilities at the Labuhanbatu Regency Social Service are that the Social Service plays a role in providing services to people with disabilities in Labuhanbatu, the role carried out is in the form of entrepreneurship development, providing basic necessities and also wheelchairs. The obstacles to implementation are the large area, lack of field staff to collect data and lack of budget from the government to provide services.

Purpose – Socially responsible innovative behaviour should reduce the incidence of one-sidedness in the behaviour of persons employed or active in tourism organizations. People with disabilities are often poorly integrated, even in the advanced societies. The paper aims to discuss these issues. Design/methodology/approach – With a requisitely holistic approach in dialectical systems theory and an overview of relevant literature, the common characteristics of tourists with disabilities are briefly described. A dialectical systemic analysis was used to determine whether people with disabilities want to travel and what their requirements are. A questionnaire was used to identify their recent travelling experiences; tourism organizations were interviewed about their experiences, too. A model of a travel agency, specialized for people with disabilities, is presented. Findings – The usual approach to people with special needs is too one-sided. A more requisitely holistic approach to understanding their needs in tourism, based on existing literature and an empirical analysis, is presented. A more innovative management of tourism organizations is proposed, increasing social responsibility (SR). Research limitations/implications – The authors contribute to the integration of people with disabilities in society, focusing on innovation in the management of tourism organizations. Practical implications – This new, more systemic and socially responsible innovative management in tourism is widely applicable. Tourists with disabilities, their family members, and their travelling companions could become more included in tourist activities and represent a potentially significant share of the market. A requisitely holistic approach can provide advantages for tourists with disabilities and tourism organizations. Originality/value – The concepts were not found in available literature neither is the selection of viewpoints of dialectical systems thinking and SR in tourism. They support understanding, designing and managing activities in tourism for people with various limitations or specific needs.

Full textAbstract:
People with disabilities still experience many difficulties in their social life. People with disabilities rarely get the opportunity to get a good education and job. Some people still consider diffable as people who have shortcomings so that they must be pitied. This social treatment will affect the level of self-efficacy in persons with disabilities. The diffable is expected to be able to increase self-efficacy by controlling emotions skills so that they do not get trapped in pessimistic thinking. Counseling steps with emotional regulation techniques are offered to overcome the problem of self-efficacy with disabilities. This study aims to find the implementation of counseling services with emotion regulation techniques to increase the self-efficacy of people with disabilities. This research is important because people with disabilities need assistance in increasing self-efficacy due to the social treatment they receive. This study uses literature study techniques by looking for reference sources related to disabilities, self-efficacy, and emotion regulation techniques. The library sources are then combined, to then look for the formulations and conclusions.

Full textAbstract:
This selective review provides an overview of salient research findings related to employers' attitudes towards disability and prospective influences on employers to improve employment outcomes of people with disabilities. Research studies included for review are mainly those which investigated employer attitudes towards disability as predispositions to hiring people with disability. Selected studies were classified into three categories including hiring and accommodating employees with disabilities, work performance, and affective reactions and behavioural intentions of employers. Excluded from the review were studies that investigated other factors influencing employer attitudes toward disability. Altogether 34 research studies from the period of 1987 until 2012 were included in the review. Primary databases for the review included ProQuest, Ebscohost, Lexus Nexus, ERICK Database and the Sage Sociology Collection. This review of the demand-side employment literature suggests employers hold relatively positive attitudes regarding individuals with disabilities. However, employer affective reactions and behavioural intentions of employers towards disability in the work setting were less positive and negatively impact hiring decisions, provision of accommodations and work performance appraisals. Employer attitudes represent an important demand-side factor impacting full participation in competitive employment for individuals with disabilities. While employers report generally positive attitudes toward disability, hiring practices may still be discriminatory. Use by rehabilitation professionals of demand-side strategies with employers would likely result in higher rates of work participation by people with disabilities.

Currently, the trend of internet use continues to increase, including in Indonesia. The internet is believed to be able to support community empowerment and improve welfare. For this reason, digital technology is required to be able to reflect the needs of all levels of society, including people with disabilities. This is a great opportunity for people with disabilities to benefit from digital information, products and services to live more independent lives. This article discusses how digital technology, especially the internet, is used by people with disabilities, including the obstacles that accompany it. This research uses a literature review method by collecting data through observation and literature study. The research results show that there is a digital gap between people with disabilities and non-disabled people in Indonesia. The main obstacles in creating an inclusive digital space are awareness, motivation, access to ownership, access to use, access to affordability of digital technology, digital skills, adaptive technology, certainty of digital protection & security as well as policy and regulatory support. However, efforts were also found to implement good digital inclusion practices by reducing the digital divide through policy support, infrastructure improvements, empowerment activities and increasing public awareness.Keywords: people with disabilities; digital inclusion; digital divide; digital technology

Abstract This paper examines the contribution of multimodal strategies in challenging aspects of public discourse about people with disabilities. It looks into media texts that were created by people with disabilities, in which the topic of disability is not a metaphor or a narrative prosthesis, but a demand for recognition and a call for a sincere dialogue, using three complementary strategies: disabling the viewers, challenging dominant aesthetic norms, and ironic echoing. The paper focuses on two autobiographical videos, a promotional video, a small corpus of paintings and a photograph, in which ironic echoing is the dominant strategy.

Full textAbstract:
Accessibility to housing is crucial for people with disabilities as it provides them with equal opportunities and allows them to live independently. A systematic literature review has been conducted to understand the current research on accessibility in housing for people with disabilities in Latin America. The study analysed 56 papers and used co-word analysis to identify common themes and topics within the documents. The results of the analysis showed that Brazil (61%) is the country with the most research on the subject, physical disability, at 36%, is the impairment most analysed, and interventions or analysis for the older people (45%) in their homes is the most researched type of population. The co-word analysis revealed that topics such as policy, regulations, the use of technologies, ergonomics interventions, and architectural criteria or barriers to the daily life of disabled people were frequently discussed in the papers. Although this work shows a substantial and growing increase in research on housing for people with disabilities in Latin America, it also demonstrates the importance of increasing research on other types of impairment, such as visual and cognitive-intellectual disabilities, and including children, caregivers, or even young adults.

The aim of the study is to determine the changes in the employment of people with disabilities during the pandemic and the effectiveness of the system of financial penalties for employers in the event of failure to comply with the statutory obligations to employ people with disabilities as incentives to employ such people. The time range of the research was set for the years 2017-2021 and the first half of 2022. The following research methods of a general nature were used in the article: the method of analysis and criticism of source literature, the inductive and deductive method, as well as analysis and synthesis. In addition, detailed methods were also used: descriptive, monographic and document research. Research hypothesis: financial penalties imposed on employers for not employing the percentage of disabled people required by law were more effective in stimulating employers to improve the employment rate of people with disabilities during the COVID-19 pandemic than before its outbreak. In the light of the conducted research and literature studies, the effectiveness of penalties as a stimulant to employ people with disabilities in particularly difficult macroeconomic conditions was noticed.

Since the emergence of virtual reality (VR) technologies, many researchers have argued on the benefits of their use for people with intellectual and multiple disabilities. However, up to this date there is not a single study that presents a detailed overview of the state of the art in virtual reality as a support tool for the treatment of people with intellectual and multiple disabilities, as well as Autism and Down Syndrome. The aim of this study is to provide a detailed overview of the state of the art in the virtual reality area focusing on people with multiple disabilities, that encompasses intellectual and physical disabilities. There is still no consensus on the effectiveness of VR-based treatments. Virtual reality can offer rich environment and features, but most of the researches focuses only in the experience to be inside a virtual place without taking advantage of what benefits VR provide us. Furthermore, most of our selected studies used non-immersive VR and AR. Thus, immersive VR is an open field with many opportunities to be explored. We believe VR has great potential to be effective in the treatment of people with intellectual and multiple disabilities.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is threefold: to document the relationship between intellectual disability (ID) and psychopathology; to raise awareness of the ongoing lag in professional training for psychologists in the area of mental health treatment for people with intellectual disabilities; and, to provide recommendations for advancing professional education and, ultimately, adequate mental health treatment availability for people with intellectual disabilities. Design/methodology/approach – The paper reviews the literature on prevalence of mental health problems in people with intellectual disabilities. At the same time, the paper reviews the training of psychologists relative to the burgeoning growth in awareness of the mental health needs of people with intellectual disabilities. Findings – The paper concludes that ID is a significant risk factor for psychopathology. In addition, the paper concludes that the education of psychologists regarding the mental health needs of people with intellectual disabilities is insufficient. The authors document the need for incorporating research and treatment advances related to intellectual disabilities and mental health into to the professional training of psychologists. The paper also describe the potential this training holds for improving both the lives of people with intellectual disabilities and the overall competence of psychologists. Practical implications – This paper provides a literature-based rationale for the need to include education in the mental health needs of people with intellectual disabilities into the general training of mental health professionals. In addition, it provides specific recommendations for how such training can be incorporated into graduate psychology programs. Originality/value – This paper provides mental health professionals with a review of the growth in understanding of the enormous, unmet mental health needs of people intellectual disabilities, and of the critical role of ID in development of mental health problems. Moreover, this paper builds the case for an important revision in the training of psychologists to include competence in understanding and treating mental health problems across the full spectrum of intellectual functioning.

Public service quality is a public service provided by organizations to serve the needs of people in Indonesia, including people with disabilities. The aim of this research is to identify aspects that influence the quality of public services for people with disabilities in obtaining human rights. The research method used in this article is a literature study by summarizing and examining the extent to which previous studies analyzed phenomena among people with disabilities in achieving human rights and analyzed them comparatively into scientific works. The results of this writing show that the aspects that are a problem are the lack of adequate public services for people with disabilities. Often their rights and obligations are not fulfilled due to various aspects, namely lack of access to information, families closing themselves off so that data is not obtained by the government, being a source of mercy or being used by certain individuals to become beggars and the absence of socialization about people with disabilities to the general public.

Pahlawan streets and Pemuda streets has recently experienced significant improvements in improving the quality of public space in particular pedestrian ways. Significant improvements were addressed by the government of Semarang that all segments of society could use it more comfortable and safe, but in reality both pedestrian ways in the two corridors is still rarely seen used by people with disabilities. Referring to the problems it is the thought that research is needed to evaluate the use of pedestrian ways on Pahlawan streets and Pemuda streets for people with disabilities. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the use of pedestrian ways for people with disabilities as well as obtain the factors that cause minimal numbers people with disabilities who access the pedestrian ways. Research targets are to be achieved by identifying the feasibility s tudy of literature and the public perception of disability. The research method uses deductive research methods with qualitative descriptive analysis techniques. This technique is done by commenting on the feasibility of the elements contained in the pedestrian ways based on the literature and the public perception of disability. Based on a literature review that refers to problems in the field of research obtained variables which are divided into two focus the observation were variables pedestrian ways and variables public perception disabilities.

Full textAbstract:
Women with disabilities face increased precarity throughout their lives, with one of the most affected areas being their sexual and reproductive health. The aim of this study was to identify and analyze the scientific literature on obstetric violence against women with disabilities. The search was conducted from August to October 2022 in five databases: PubMed, Web of Science, Dialnet, SciELO, and Scopus. A total of 194 articles were retrieved, and after applying selection criteria, ten articles were analyzed. Through thematic analysis, the dimension “ableist obstetric violence towards women with disabilities” emerged. Findings suggest that women with disabilities are marginalized during obstetric care, resulting in untimely attention and cascading interventions. At present, there is scarce literature addressing this phenomenon from a rights-based perspective. Urgent measures are needed to train healthcare teams on the provision of care to people with disabilities. Additionally, it is crucial to critically examine the relationship between healthcare personnel and institutions to women with disabilities within the framework of their sexual and reproductive rights.
