The goal in recovery maintenance
Recovery-oriented care should be designed with a clearly defined end (Adams & Grieder,2005; Davidson et al., 2009). The goal in recovery is to help consumers live a personally meaningful life, which may be achieved through full recovery (i.e., no symptoms) or social recovery (i.e., satisfying social life using medications or other strategies to manage symptoms).

How to facilitate recovery
Facilitating recovery involves working with consumers to codevelop action steps that meaningfully advance the recovery journey. In this shared process, the therapist’s role is to help identify possibilities for removing obstacles to the consumer’s having a meaningful, fulfilling life(Davidson et al., 2009). Consumers are equally engaged in identifying options and committing to action plans that […]

What does recovery planning involve
Akin to treatment planning, recovery planning involves developing goals and strategies for recovery, a collaborative process between the consumer and therapist. Contrasting recovery planning with the traditional mental health treatment planning, Davidson et al. (2009) emphasize that in recovery approaches consumers identify their goals and desires, while professionals help them remove barriers to these goals. […]

A collaborative, appreciative approach for supporting recovery
I developed the collaborative, appreciative approach using the recovery model elements identified in Onken, Craign, Ridgway, Ralph, and Cook’s (2007) analysis of existing recoverymodels, which have numerous parallels with postmodern therapies (see Part I of this article).The collaborative approach of Anderson and Goolishian (1992; Anderson, 1997) describes thequality of working relationship in which consumers’ voices […]

Characteristics of Caregiving
Caregiving defines yet another element within the dynamic, dimensional experience of aging and disability – whether late life onset or aging with a disability. Disability implies some deficit in function, and for many older people with disabilities, a spouse,adult daughter, or daughter-in-law becomes the caregiver.

What is injury
Injury represents the third pathway to disability. Injury as noted in the discussions above is not a singular pathway because injuries may occur among those with developmental disabilities at any age, among those with no disability, and may be precipitated by chronic conditions among older people. These characteristics represent a limitation in the model; nevertheless, […]

Health Promotion and Aging with a Disability
In recent years, a considerable body of knowledge has evolved to address health promoting interventions – mainly around exercise, conditioning, and prevention of secondary conditions – for people with disabilities (Rimmer, 1999). (SeeNationalCenterfor Physical Activity and Disability, http://www.ncpad.org). These interventions have become increasingly rigorous and evidenced based. Most, however, have addressed the particular needs of […]

Aging Among Those with Specific Conditions Down Syndrome
Increasing evidence suggests that people with Down syndrome experience accelerated biological aging (Zigman & Lott, 2007) and age-related comorbid and secondary conditions occur earlier than the general population (Bittles & Glasson,2004). Chief among age-related health conditions is the early onset of Alzheimer’s dementia. Estimates suggest Alzheimer’s has a prevalence of 0–10% among people aged 30–39, […]

Depression and Mood
Mental health is neglected among older people generally. It is often neglected,dismissed, or misunderstood among people with disabilities. In large part, many mental health providers are ill equipped to respond to the needs of people with disabilities regardless of the cause or age. Despite the lack of mental health servicesin the community, a substantial literature […]
