Questions & Answers
Question : What are some professional careers working with people with disabilities?
In the last several years, I have been working in this field and I think I would prefer to stay in it. I just want a change.
Right now, I am a special ed teacher (my students have mild learning disabilities and speech impairments). I want to explore other options possibly in a supervisory or professional nature and outside of the school environment?
What qualifications and education are needed?
Answer:
Occupational therapist
Physiotherapist
Speech & language therapist
Disability support worker
Behavioural therapist
Educational psychologist
Teachers aides
Residential worker/House Parents
Social Workers
Social Work Assistants
Counselors
Welfare Officers
Health Care Attendants
Home Care Workers
Therapy Aides
All of the above work with people with disabilities, I think I may have forgotten a few. The qualifications can vary from country to country. In most cases their would be at lest a 2-6 year course, earning either a diploma or degree. You will need to speak with the educational/training bodies, to see what is required.

Question : How can we raise money to build a recreation center for adults with dev.disabilities at our nonprofit daycare?
We need to raise money for the construction of a recreation center to add on to our growing Adult daycare for adults with developmental disabilities. We are a nonprofit agency on a very small budget. We need more space because we are the only adult daycare of this type in OKC.
Answer:
As well as the usual fundraisers try approaching the local businesses for a donation. I would write a letter in the first instance and then follow up with a phone call about a week later, youhave to be committed to get the money. I would also enlist the help of the local paper and see what donations you get froma story written in the local paper, especially mentioning that you are enlisting the help of local businesses :-) good luck!

Question : How well does Russia deal with disabilities?
I don't have any disabilities but curious about this topic. People with disabilities. I heard Russian person talk about how difficult it is to graduate high school passing a test to graduate and colleges being very difficult. Is there a place for people with learning disabilities? Do they get teased worse in Russia?
My dad is an educator who has helped high school drop outs get GED. Does Russia have these programs?
Answer:
I can't speak for Moscow, but I live and teach in a Russian City of about 1.2 million people. My observation here about how Russia deals with disabled people is simple; they don't deal with them. A wheel chair ramp is almost unheard of here, and besides, even if a person could find a wheelchair ramp, they first couldn't leave their home without a lot of help. In apartment buildings (where the majority of Russian people live) the elevators are too small to fit a wheelchair. If by chance that person had a group of people who would fold the wheelchair and carry the person, public transport has no provision for disabled people.
In terms of learning disabilities, I teach in universities and have never seen any program of the sort. I have not heard of such a thing in the schools either, but not having taught in schools, I'm no expert.
Also, just so you know, the words "college" and university have two entirely different meanings in Russia. A college is a school where a student can go after the 9th grade and is not at all comparable to a university.
