Taylor & Francis Intellectual Disability in Health and Social Care
Book SynopsisMany practitioners within health and social care come into contact with people with intellectual disabilities and want to work in ways that are beneficial to them by making reasonable adjustments in order to meet clientsâ needs and expectations. Yet the health and wellbeing of people with learning disabilities continues to be a neglected area, where unnecessary suffering and premature deaths continue to prevail.This text provides a comprehensive insight into intellectual disability healthcare. It is aimed at those who are training in the field of intellectual disability nursing and also untrained practitioners who work in both health and social care settings. Divided into five sections, it explores how a wide range of biological, health, psychological and social barriers impact upon people with learning disability, and includes: Six guiding principles used to adjust, plan and develop meaningful and accessible health and social services ATable of ContentsIntroduction The Editors Section 1: The Six Guiding Principles 1.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Welcoming LGBT Residents
Book SynopsisWelcoming LGBT Residents is the first comprehensive guide to working with LGBT older adults in senior living settings. The LGBT older adult population represents one of the fastest-growing subpopulations within our aging society. Despite the increasing demand for LGBT-affirming services there is an absence of training books for care providers. This dual-purpose text is appropriate for training and as a guide to answer questions that may come up during daily tasks. It is based on the most recent research and includes stories and testimonials from LGBT older adults and providers in the field. Chapters include: LGBT-inclusive intake and conversations; Gender identity and expression; Memory care and LGBT people; Navigating family dynamics; Addressing conflict between residents; Staff opinTrade Review"Tim Johnston's book is a timely, grounded, and most importantly useful guide for how to make our services more open to LGBT seniors. It can serve as a reference text for leadership staff and also an accessible educational tool for students and staff. I would encourage anyone working with older adults, not only those working in senior living, to take a look and see what they can learn." — Paula Basta, Director of the Illinois Department of Aging and Former Chair of the LGBT Aging Issues Network of the American Society on Aging. "For far too long, LGBT older people have encountered bias, stigma, and discrimination across the senior living environment. In response to this profound problem, Tim Johnston has written a comprehensive and accessible resource for the entire eldercare workforce—one that acknowledges that many LGBT older people live at the intersection of multiple identities, and they, as much as anyone, deserve to have a place they can call ‘home.’" — Robert Espinoza, Vice President of Policy, PHI "Combining current research, best practices, and his own experiences training providers across the country, Dr. Johnston has created a road map for providers of services and supports to create safe and affirming environments where LGBTQ older adults can thrive. This comprehensive text is a valuable guide and resource for any provider looking to make their organization a place where older adults, their families and staff can be who they are, regardless of their sexual orientation or gender identity." — Kevin Bradley, Associate Director of Online Learning, LeadingAge "With an extensive background in advocacy and training, the author has significant experience and working knowledge of the needs of older LGBT adults. The history of LGBT people includes discrimination, criminality, being considered deviant or mentally ill and subjected to inappropriate medical "therapies". This coupled with the dearth of research into the needs of older LGBT adults makes this publication most welcome. Raising awareness of the uniqueness of each person and alerting care providers to the fact that LGBT people are not a homogenous group can only be a positive contributor to the provision of ‘safer and more inclusive spaces." — Patricia MacGabhann BNS (Hons) HDip Gerontology MSc Science MHSc Specialist Nursing (National University of Ireland, Galway) Clinical and Operational Director, Nightingale Nursing Home. "This book presents significant insights into creating inclusive environments for older LGBT people. It will also enable professionals to respond appropriately to challenging situations in residential care homes." — Dr Ralf Lottmann, Marie Skłodowska-Curie Fellow at the University of Surrey, UK (Research Project: ‘Ageing & Diversity: LGBT* Housing and Long-term Care’).

Taylor & Francis Ltd Cases and Stories of Transformative Action
Book SynopsisCases and Stories of Transformative Action Research builds on its companion book, Principles and Methods of Transformative Action Research, by describing and analyzing dozens of examples of successful action research efforts pursued in the past five decades by students and faculty of the Western Institute for Social Research. Some projects are large-scale, and some are modest interventions in the everyday lives of those participating. Some are formal organizational efforts; others are the results of individual or small group initiatives. Included are chapters on community needs assessments and innovative grassroots approaches to program evaluation; the challenges of improving our decision-making during the crisis of the COVID-19 pandemic; strategies of intellectual activism in addressing the growing problem of workplace bullying; action research to preserve and share the history of the Omaha tribe; and plans for an innovative school-based project based on collTrade Review"Building on a wide range of great thinkers --Thomas Kuhn on scientific creativity, Paulo Freire on learner-centered education, and John Dewey on learning--Bilorusky, the founder of the Western Institute for Social Research, lays out steps through which one can do transformative action research. Engaging communities of learning, his Institute has mentored highly innovative research on such issues as restoring Omaha Culture, ending workplace bullying, and teaching physics. The volume opens the door to an exciting approach to learning, collaboration and bettering the world." -- Arlie Hochschild, Professor Emerita of Sociology, University of California, Berkeley, USA. Author of Strangers in Their Own Land: Anger and Mourning on the American Right, a finalist for the National Book Award in 2016."Building on Volume I, this book dives deeper into WISR’s method of collaborative inquiry through illustrative case studies in which Dr. Bilorusky and his colleagues demonstrate how they have applied the principles of transformative, participatory action research in community organizations, community-based think tanks, needs assessments and other settings. Volume II will prove helpful for practitioners and students seeking to understand how democratic community knowledge-building takes shape in learner-centered approaches to learning." -- Joyce. E. King, Benjamin E. Mays Endowed Chair for Urban Teaching, Learning & Leadership, College of Education & Human Development, Georgia State University, USA. Past-President, The American Educational Research Association"This exciting volume shows how teachers, undergraduate students, graduate students, and community members have collaborated and employed action research to promote social transformation. Connecting theory, methodology, and methods, these case studies provide instructive and inspiring examples of how multicultural academic scholarship, when crafted by students and learning groups, promotes social justice that benefits world-majority communities. Berkeley's Western Institute for Social Research is one of the few degree-granting, long-distance learning laboratories that teaches students around the world how to do action research for transformative justice. Students' skills and enthusiasm for collaborative inquiry will move readers to become more involved in multicultural community change." -- T. D.
