Rehabilitation Methodology for Individuals with Disabilities for Their Health and Social Self-Sufficiency

This research aims to provide rehabilitation methodology and service delivery systems improvements, health and functioning improvements, and employment, independent living, family support, and economic and social self-sufficiency promotions for individuals with disabilities. Disability statistics serve two important goals: providing national, state, and local data to policy-makers, service providers, advocates and others for solving issues that people with disabilities face and improving the society's understanding of obstacles to persons with disabilities. Due to the fact that these statistical data are only similar within state borders and that the cause of developmental disabilities is different among people, it is difficult to draft a universal standard for everyone. The resources, at large, are used for those with chronic developmental disabilities, leading to a lack of funding for intellectual and cognitive disabilities. In other words, the distribution of funding is skewed against those of intellectual disabilities, barring them from their chance at living a regular life. In this research, the trends in economy and employment outcomes of individuals with developmental disabilities were studied and analyzed.
