Position Papers '99, Attendant Care

Physical Disability Council of NSW, Inc..  1999.  Position Papers '99, Attendant Care.
English

by The Physical Disability Council of NSW Inc., 1999

People with physical disabilities must be provided with a range of personal care and support options that enhances individual empowerment and enables integration and participation in the community.

Attendant/personal care is the assistance received by people with physical disabilities for undertaking the full range of everyday tasks that able-bodied people normally do for themselves. It enables an individual to live independently and to exercise basic rights about lifestyles choice.

Osterwitz, Ingolf.  1996.  Comunita Progetto Sud and Cooperativa at Lamezia Terme - Report from the study visit of working group one, sector social integration, 28 March - 31 March 1996.

The comunita was founded in the 70s by disabled and non-disabled people as an alternative to accommodation in institutions and the family, because these places often did not allow the emancipation of disabled people in their everyday lives.

15 people live and work in the comunita "Lamezia-Terme", half of which are disabled persons. Many of them are wheelchair users.

General Counsel and Director of Policy
National Council on Disability


As an attorney who has spent my career working to promote policies and laws that expand opportunities for the 54 million Americans with disabilities, I am deeply concerned that the U.S. Supreme Court totally missed the mark last week in three cases construing the definition of “disability” in the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). The Supreme Court has left me and millions of other Americans with significant mental or physical impairments unprotected against egregious discrimination.

Foreword to The Independent Living Movement: International Experiences

Heumann, Judith E.  2003.  Foreword to The Independent Living Movement: International Experiences.

In 1949 when I had polio there was nothing resembling the Independent Living Movement. As was the case for disabled people across the US and throughout the world we were not seen as a individuals who could make contributions to our society. We were out of sight and out of mind. Few laws existed which made it illegal to discriminate against disabled people.
