Delivery of Rehabilitation Services to Inner City Nonwhites. Eighth Institute on Rehabilitation Issues

摘要

As the Study Group began to develop this document, several key areas were considered as worthy of improvement in order to effectively serve the inner city nonwhites. These were: how rehabilitation agencies can integrate services to the disabled of the inner city; how the service delivery system can be modified to accommodate nonwhite clients; the disincentives of rehabilitation to nonwhite clients; and what one can do to improve public image. The Group has taken the position that federal officials, state directors, supervisors and counselors all share a major role in implementing change in the above mentioned significant program areas. It also stands firm in its belief that true professional help as typified by the individual in any professional field, consists of placing the professional's knowledge and skills at the client's disposal. It is toward this end that this document addresses itself.
