Housing Facilities

455 physically disabled persons were surveyed regarding their attitudes toward moving to housing facilities designed to give more independence to the disabled. While the majority were satisfied with their present living arrangements, one-third (134) of the total group expressed a desire to move to such a facility. Those willing to move were younger, had more severe disabilities and were more dependent upon others for daily needs. They were more often city dwellers who had lived in their present homes for a shorter period of time than those not willing to move.

Perception Of Self

This paper reviews the literature on attitudes toward the disabled as manifested by both the disabled and the nondisabled, and describes the three most commonly used methods of effecting attitude change. The literature review provides a basis for a proposed implication for counseling disabled persons. The counseling process is examined in terms of the perception of self as the key variable, how this variable is influenced by the attitudes disabled individuals hold of themselves, and the interaction of this with the attitudes that others hold towards them.

The Disabled

The key assumption of public transport is the overall accessibility for all its users. Lack of adjustments or only partial adjustments of the touristic transport infrastructure to the needs of elderly and disabled persons constitutes a barrier for their free mobility. The study aims to formalize measures to improve public transport activities by identifying the problems of the disabled and the elderly while traveling. The article presents an assessment of the current state and recognizing the most important problems of the physically disabled and elderly persons in the mobility in the city using public transport. The research part of the article attempts to assess the availability of solutions in public transport for the physically disabled and elderly persons. For practical simplification, the article focuses on the mass transport implemented by the only possible means of this type of transport for the research is a bus.In line with the predefined criterion, one city from the region of Bielsko-Biała was included into the research – city Szczyrk. In the article, the diagnostic survey was used as the best research method. The basic technique for collecting the empirical data was the open participating observation using the observation sheet. The basic research was complemented by the direct survey of disabled persons with various levels of disabilities to achieve intended results.The research concluded that the mobility of disabled persons in the transport processes was assessed positively despite multiple difficulties and obstacles caused by their limited mobility and the lack of transport infrastructure adjustments (bus stops or information systems).

And Control

The object of this paper is to present a set of techniques integrated into two low-cost human computer interfaces. Although the interfaces have many potential applications, one main application is to help the disabled persons to attain or regain some degree of independent communications and control. The first interface is a voice-controlled mouse and the second one is an accelerometer-based mouse.

The Relationship

Physically disabled persons can have sleep problems, which affects their mental health more than those in non-disabled people. However, there are few studies on the relationship between sleep duration and mental health targeting physically disabled people in South Korea, and existing studies on the disabled have mostly used data collected from convenience rather than nationally representative samples, limiting the generalization of the results. This study used data from the second wave of the Panel Survey of Employment for the Disabled (PSED, 2016–2018, 1st–3rd year). Participants included 1851 physically disabled individuals. The Chi-square test and generalized estimating equation (GEE) were used and the Akaike information criterion (AIC) value and the AIC log Bayes factor approximation were used to select sleep trajectories. This is the first study to elucidate multiple sleep trajectories in physically disabled people in Korea, and the relationship between sleep duration trajectories and self-rated depressive symptoms. People with physical disabilities who sleep more than 9 h have the highest risk of depression and need more intensive management as a priority intervention.

The advent of the small computer has provided a wide range of possibilities for offering new tools in the education of the severely physically disabled. The flexibility of the computer allows the limited motor skills of the disabled child to be amplified to expand that child's interaction with the world. This paper examines the use of the microcomputer in providing communication and environmental control in the personal lives of disabled individuals.
