Child Abuse Investigation and Treatment for Deaf and Hard of Hearing Children: Ethical Practice and Policy
 slides  notes
Deaf children are more susceptible than other children to abuse. Because many helping professionals are unaware of deaf children’s vulnerabilities and needs, the effectiveness of their services to that population is limited. Human service agencies rely on inadequate means of communication in child abuse investigations despite laws and ethical standards mandating that they communicate using methods that deaf clients can understand. Ineffective intervention practices fail to protect this vulnerable population of children.

A Critical Analysis of the Emerging Crisis in Long-Term Care for People with Developmental Disabilities
slides notes
There is an impending crisis in long-term care for people with developmental disabilities. The demand for care will likely outpace the supply for decades to come. Factors such as limited existing long-term care resources, increased life expectancy for people with developmental disabilities, changing family demographics, legal actions, and competition for resources with the elderly are driving the crisis. Virtually every domain of social work practice will face challenges in this area. This presentation is argues for an immediate response from the social work community in this area.
