There is an increased need for competent, knowledgeable professionals who can advocate for children and adolescents with disabilities and their families. Trained social workers will understand the challenges that face families of children/adolescents with special needs and assist them in securing resources and in communicating their needs. Advocacy on behalf of children and adolescents with special needs requires that social workers be skilled and empowered to address areas of discrimination and inadequate resources, with the same zeal a dedicated parent would seek services for their child. Additional training in the areas of mental retardation, medical social work, developmental delay, and early intervention will better assist the child welfare worker who has the responsibility of finding and supporting appropriate placements for children/adolescents with disabilities. Social workers servicing this population will benefit from having the advanced training of a master’s degree in social work to most effectively identify and work with the various systems involved. Dependent on the special needs of the child/adolescent, the social worker will need additional training in specific areas, such as the use of wheelchairs, lifts, ventilators, and oxygen, even if a medical provider is present to intervene or is providing one-on-one care. The social worker’s knowledge of such equipment and interventions will enable the worker to have a more secure level of competence and comfort in working with the child/adolescent, as well as be more credible and accepting to foster parents and birth parents. Child welfare social workers benefit from training in the area of family systems and the dynamic the child/adolescent with special needs creates among the parent(s), siblings, and extended family members. Working with the child/adolescent with special needs involves the understanding, sensitivity, and interventions with the “whole” family. Exercise 32. Put down the words and word combinations from the text you are going to use while giving its short summary. Exercise 33. Read the text and make a summary of it. Youth Development and Prevention Workers Youth development workers work directly with young people, often in small groups. They often are employed in organizations like Boys/Girls Clubs, community centres, and settlement houses. Youth development workers collaborate with youth, families, and other staff in creating and carrying out recreation, service, arts, and learning projects. These projects identify and nurture the unique gifts and talents of each young person, and assist youth individually and collectively to find and “grow” their power. An effective youth development worker is creative, energetic, and has an unshakeable belief in the potential of every young person to achieve great things and make real contributions to their community. The work emphasizes reducing exposure to risk factors (for example, networks of peers who are deeply involved in gang activity), and increasing exposure to protective factors (for example, prosocial peers and stable, caring adults). Social workers who do prevention work engage collaboratively with a wide variety of stakeholders - including youth themselves - in creating projects that reduce behaviours and conditions that lead to poor developmental outcomes: substance abuse, violence, harassment, depression, and child maltreatment, among others. Prevention workers facilitate an environment of shared power. The most effective prevention programs are those that are deeply rooted in the local community, are consistent with local values, and can be maintained over the long term with readily available resources; rigid or expensive programs usually do not long survive. Designing effective programs consistent with these guidelines requires considerable creativity, blending knowledge of the prevention research with knowledge of local conditions and assets. Exercise 34. Read the extract from the article by Nancy Rosenau, Executive Director with EveryChild Inc. published in Impact and do the review of it. Supporting Family Life for Children with Disabilities: What We Know and Don’t Know. The simple truth that young children need a close relationship with a nurturing parent for physical and emotional well-being has been known intuitively for as long as humankind has organized itself in families. It has been affirmed by child development experts and researchers. The best description I’ve seen of this necessary relationship is Stanley Greenspan’s “Every child needs a safe, secure environment that includes one stable, predictable, comforting, and protective relationship with an adult, not necessarily a biological parent, who has made a long-term personal commitment to the child’s daily welfare and who has the means, time, and personal qualities to carry out.” In the child welfare system, the need of children for family has been built into policy and mandated by federal legislation since 1980 under the term “permanency planning.” Permanency planning is a set of goal-directed, timesensitive activities to create conditions to allow the safe resumption of care by a birth family after removal, or permanent placement with another family when return is not possible. Despite the importance attributed to a nurturing parentchild relationship, children with disabilities have been differentially assured this singularly important developmental imperative. Several publications on children with disabilities summarize the now well-established facts: ● Children with disabilities are at increased risk of maltreatment compared to nondisabled children. ● Children with disabilities have an increased likelihood of suffering maltreatment multiple times in multiple ways by multiple perpetrators. ● Some disabilities are caused by maltreatment. ● Some children are unwanted because of their disabilities and are
● Children with disabilities experience more removals from their parents, more residential settings, longer time in care, fewer goals of family life, and less achievements of the goals of family life than their nondisabled peers in the child welfare system. In short, too many children with disabilities get into care, too few get out, and too often they are in the wrong place while there. What contributes to this state of affairs? In a number of senses, we “don’t know.” We don’t know in the sense of having factual information. Despite recognizing the prevalence of children with disabilities in child welfare systems, we don’t know who they are, where they live, or what their experiences are. We also don’t know in the sense of having awareness. We don’t distinguish to what extent behaviours of children with disabilities are consequences of maltreatment rather than intrinsic to their impairment. The problems are enormous and complex; so too must be the solutions. It takes first looking at ourselves and asking what we don’t-yet-but-should-knowbetter. Relationships, as we know intuitively and scientifically, are at the heart of what children need and that includes children with disabilities. Exercise 35. Work in pairs.

Для работы с детьми-инвалидами требуются специально обученные профессиональные социальные работники. 2.

Эти знания помогут социальному работнику быть компетентным в своей области и заслуживать доверие родителей детей-инвалидов. 3. Профессиональная помощь детям-инвалидам и их семьям должна осуществляться социальными работниками, которые уполномочены защищать детей от дискриминации.
