 Foreword

M ental health and physical health are as inextricably linked as their coun-
terparts, mental illness and physical illness. The latter can result in various
short- and long-term disabilities. But there is a growing trend, especially out-
side the United States, to focus attention more on health than illness, with
an emphasis on enhancing people’s capabilities rather than just mitigating
disability. This movement toward social inclusion is an exciting advance, pro-
moting people’s talents and assets so that they can live the healthiest, most
fulfilling lives possible. For this to be implemented broadly, however, it is
important that policies be put in place that demand inclusion of people with
all disabilities as fully contributing members of society. These policies must be
enacted in all areas of society, not just health. Ensuring that all citizens have
access to the myriad services they need to live in society requires that social
inclusion policies be adopted in housing, transportation, employment, and
other areas that impact all our lives.
The editors of these three volumes hope to engage readers in thinking
about the ways in which different frameworks lead to different practices and
how these practices then affect people’s lives. For example, they hope to
engage the reader in thinking about how political and legal frameworks af-
fect people with disabilities. Believing that “collaboration and the creation of
partnerships are necessary components of a global strategy for enhancing the
lives of persons with disabilities and the professionals who serve them” (Mar-
shall et al., 2004, p. 20), the editors have embarked on a process reminiscent
of the work of The Carter Center.
The mission of The Carter Center Mental Health Program is to increase
public knowledge of and decrease stigma associated with mental illnesses.
x FOREWORD

The program does this via strategies such as the annual Rosalynn Carter Sympo-
sium on Mental Health, which brings together diverse and multidisciplinary
mental health care professionals, government agencies, consumer groups,
and advocacy organizations (Palpant, Steimnitz, Bornemann, & Hawkins,
2006). One chapter in these volumes, authored by Paula Madrid and col-
leagues, addresses how depression and psychological distress can be created
within the context of response (or lack thereof) to a national disaster. The
editors tapped Madrid’s expertise based on the presentation of her work dur-
ing the 22nd Annual Rosalynn Carter Symposium on Mental Health Policy,
“Disaster Mental Health in the Wake of Hurricane Katrina,” in 2006.
The editors first came together during the forum “Participatory Action
Research and Indigenous Ways of Knowing: Women as Researchers and Part-
ners in Community-Based Disability and Rehabilitation Research,” held in
Honolulu, Hawai’i, in 2004. Over 30 Indigenous and non-Indigenous
women from the United States and the Asia-Pacific region participated in this
forum, including a member of the Carter Center Mental Health Task Force.
Attendees were women with and without disabilities, researchers, grassroots
community members, and community activists. The purpose of the forum
was to engage a global community in articulating and redressing disparities
in accessing health care and human services via culturally appropriate research
methods and networking—networking that would support action outcomes
taking place within local communities. The stories of some of the participants
formed the underpinnings of these volumes.
In a preliminary conversation about this forum in 2003, I suggested
that understanding Indigenous issues and disability might have implications
for world peace. One of the more interesting undercurrents that drove the
forum in Hawai’i was the question of community and the various levels one’s
community can encompass. Can community really exist at an international
level? The Indigenous women at the forum certainly comprised one commu-
nity. All participants, all Indigenous and non-Indigenous women, motivated
and perhaps personally shaped by chronic illness and disability, comprised
another level of community. It is important that we recognize our relation-
ships to one another in these various levels of community, whether they are
explicit or more subtle. These relationships are fluid but can be surprisingly
strong. The Carter Center representative, Ethleen Iron Cloud-Two Dogs,
concluded that support for such efforts “can potentially lead to greater work-
force development, self-sustenance, and greater health and productivity for
Indigenous women with disabilities, their families, and communities.” Surely
that is a key component for world peace.
Community is built of multiple layers of identity, interaction, and under-
standing. Where community begins with the world—with global network-
ing and international collaborations—our work, whether it be understanding
disability, supporting disability, or finding resources that address disability,
continues in the towns, villages, streets, and suburbs where people with dis-
abilities and their families reside. These volumes began with a few women
who wanted to share lessons learned by reaching out to other countries and
the world’s Indigenous people who had chronic conditions or disabilities—a
relatively small number of people given the global population. Yet such a model
FOREWORD xi

of interaction can add to our understanding of cultural differences and cul-

tural similarities, highlight the role such understanding can play in reducing
health and economic disparities, increase international respect for one an-
other, and set the stage for more effective local intervention. The publication
of these volumes is a step forward as part of a movement that can lead to a
better understanding of those who are different from us, a movement that
can contribute to world peace.

 Preface
Paul Leung

W e know that disability is a relative construct. Individuals and coun-

tries describe disability in different ways. Disability may be the result of war,
malnutrition, environmental pollution, disease, genetic conditions, domestic
violence, accidents, and aging. It affects individuals in different ways. At the
same time, disability is not just an individual issue, for it affects the whole
community. Community, national, and cultural norms all define disability,
and do so within contexts that are often idiosyncratic. We also know that
disability can be seen as a function of environmental obstacles. Further, there
are cultural differences in the perception of disability. We know that in some
ethnic groups and cultures, the word disability itself has very little mean-
ing. The functional limitations of some people are simply addressed as part
of everyday life. Finally, legal frameworks are enacted in different ways in
different countries, resulting in different experiences. The International Clas-
sification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) is a global attempt to
provide a universal definition of what constitutes disability, but this is yet to
be fully accepted. This series explores many of these issues. However, a num-
ber of chapters in this series allude to the link between poverty and disability,
often highlighting the lack of resources available to persons with disabilities
and their families. It is evident that the breadth and seeming durability of the
connection between poverty and disability requires that issues of poverty be
given much more attention.
The preamble to the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons
with Disabilities (2006) noted “that the majority of persons with disabilities
live in conditions of poverty, and in this regard [we recognize] the critical
need to address the negative impact of poverty on persons with disabilities.”
xiv PREFACE

This recognition only reinforced what Elwan (1999) and the World Bank
concluded: “despite the dearth of formal analysis, it is clear that in developing
countries, as in more developed areas, disabled people (and their families) are
more likely than the rest of the population to live in poverty” (p. i).
We all understand that poverty affects a large proportion of our world
today, including those who live in more developed areas, albeit in less severe
ways than those living in what is often called the developing world. Add-
ing some urgency to this issue is the likelihood that we may be facing what
Josette Sheeran (2008) of the World Food Program calls a “silent tsunami.”
This comment refers to the rapid worldwide increase in food prices along
with food shortages. Those who are most likely to be inundated by this tsu-
nami will be the world’s poor, including persons with disability.
As result, the global community adopted the Millennium Development
Goals (United Nations, 2007), with a commitment to reduce poverty by 50
percent by 2015. Issues related to class (which usually involves income, edu-
cation, and occupation) further complicate the equation (Banks & Marshall,
2004). There is some evidence that families with higher incomes in the United
States have lower disability rates than families with lower incomes (Yang,
2006). There have been limited efforts directed toward reducing poverty
among persons with disabilities and their families (World Bank, 2002). For
example, Kiva (www.kiva.org) is a person-to-person micro-lending scheme
and although persons with disabilities are not prevented from applying, none
of the field partners specifically encourage them to do so.
Certainly we know that being poor is also relative in the United States.
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) (2008) poverty
guidelines for determining eligibility for programs vary in terms of numbers
of persons within a household and geographic location. For one individual,
the amount of income meeting the poverty threshold in the United States is
$10,400 per year. Obviously, this is vastly different from the more common
measure of absolute poverty that is used globally of $1 a day (Sheeran, 2008).
Common sense suggests, and available evidence has confirmed, that there
is a link between disability and poverty in both developed and developing
countries (Sum, Khatiwada, & Palma, 2006). Sum et al. indicated that lim-
ited employment options and lower earnings result in poverty and poverty, in
turn, leads to poor health, poor nutrition, and greater exposure to unhealthy
lifestyles and working conditions. Disler (2008), in a presentation on the
need for rehabilitation, pointed out that more than 50 percent of males with
disability and their families moved into poverty. Jeffrey Sachs (Chen, 2006),
the economist perhaps most well known for poverty reduction, has noted the
impact of disability in his work. Clearly, the relationship is, at a minimum,
a two-way one. As Elwan (1999) pointed out, “disability adds to the risk of
poverty and the conditions of poverty increase the risk of disability.”
Although a relationship between disability and poverty obviously exists,
little is known about the interaction of what may be useful strategies to ad-
dress this situation. In reality, the relationship is most likely to be highly
complex, but without systematic analysis or research, we will be hard pressed
to understand it at all. Marshall (2006) found a tendency in the literature to
avoid discussion of socioeconomic status in relationship to disability, perhaps
PREFACE xv

partly due to expediency. However, this situation may also be due to the fact
that the American disability experience has focused on middle-class European
American values to the exclusion of other populations. Marshall’s research
and experience suggests the need for renewed attention on the importance
of socioeconomic factors, especially poverty, in the lives of persons with dis-
abilities. Poverty presents challenges to persons with disabilities in many ways
and often is the primary reason they are unable to participate actively in their
communities.
For instance, micro-financing is a poverty reduction strategy that is often
mentioned in the literature. Yet micro-financing appears to be underutilized
by persons with disabilities. As with many mainstream programs, persons
with disabilities and their families find themselves on the outside. Although
an expectation of equal access to provider services is accepted, difficulties
occur when providers themselves continue to harbor doubts about persons
with disabilities. How persons with disabilities and their families are perceived
within the larger community and how they view themselves continue to be
barriers to full inclusion and participation, especially in economic programs
that may offer real opportunity to move out of poverty.
Similarly, those who have disabilities are often denied education and train-
ing options, based on false assumptions about their learning abilities. These
barriers limit their potential for income generation in the future, and also re-
strict the contributions that persons with disabilities can make within the larger
community. Thus, these inherent barriers have a doubly negative impact, both
for the individuals/families involved as well as for their communities.
It is important to remember that having a disability as an individual, or
its presence within the family, increases costs. There are economic costs cre-
ated by the fact that having a disability or a family member with a disability
requires additional resources and accommodations or modifications. These
costs are not always recognized formally or informally and, except in certain
forensic situations, are not factored into expense equations. There are also
psychic costs consisting of anxiety, worry about inability to provide for the
family, discrimination, and the potential exclusion from being able to make
choices. The corresponding loss of control can contribute to the develop-
ment of a fatalistic worldview, where one’s actions have little impact. Thus,
persons with disabilities or their families who are living in poverty have ad-
ditional liabilities further preventing them from moving out of poverty.
Ethnicity and race also complicate issues of discrimination beyond disabil-
ity, further adding to poverty status. Persons with disabilities from minority
racial/ethnic populations in the United States have historically found them-
selves to be more disadvantaged economically than their peers who have no
reported disability (National Council on Disability, 1993). Some consider
poverty to be a culture, having a value system that impacts on behavior, but
others believe this a myth that allows for lower expectations both among
those affected and the larger society. Perhaps what is important is the mind-
set that people have about themselves and their family in relationship to the
larger society. Regardless, being poor or being of a particular race or ethnicity
has an impact on how disability is perceived and, thus, on how a person acts
or behaves.
xvi PREFACE

Ethnicity and race have different implications dependent on context. In

American society, issues around race have historically been about African
Americans and the legacy of 400 years of slavery. American blacks led a civil
rights struggle for equality culminating in the 1960s with the passage of the
Civil Rights Act. The success of the civil rights movement expanded to in-
clude other racial and ethnic groups and then beyond race to sexual orienta-
tion and disability. The civil rights movement was a precursor to the passage
of the Americans with Disabilities Act in 1990, which provided persons with
disabilities civil protections similar to those related to race.
However, disparities for persons with disabilities continue to exist based
on racial and ethnic membership within the American context. Ottenbacher
and colleagues (2008) found disparities in postacute rehabilitation outcomes,
with non-Hispanic whites having higher functional ratings at discharge than
minority populations. Issues of access to rehabilitation programs based on
race continue to exist (Leung, Marshall, & Wilson, 2007).
Looking beyond the American scene, discrimination and conflict related
to race and ethnicity is not uncommon. We have only to remember how
genocide has occurred, whether it was in Rwanda, Bosnia, or Cambodia. Add
the experience of disability to race and/or ethnicity and issues of equity and
discrimination are magnified. This double disadvantage has been debated in
Great Britain for some time (Vernon, 1997). Even in situations where race
may not be the most obvious basis for discrimination and unequal treat-
ment, discrimination may occur on the basis of skin color (Wilson & Senices,
2005). In some contexts, these nuances may also reflect long-standing cul-
tural attitudes. For instance, the Chinese perceive light skin in a more positive
way because lighter skin suggests a person with wealth who has not worked
outside (i.e., not a peasant). The impact of these variables, while relatively
unresearched, may nevertheless be significant and cannot easily be ignored.
The content of these volumes is particularly significant given the “post-
American world” (Zakaria, 2008) of this 21st century. No longer are issues
of disability found to be only relevant in the Western context where, because
of available resources, nations have had the luxury of developing systems and
programs to intervene and have had the ability to explore what disability
means within the human experience. We are now a part of a global society
where nations, societies, and cultures are linked in ways we do not always
understand, realize, or even recognize.
Elwan (1999) alluded to disability within developing countries as “prevent-
able” consequences of conditions that are no longer found in more developed
nations. What kind of global response ought there be to these preventable
conditions? Disability will continue to occur in ever-increasing numbers with
the global population getting older as a result of increasing life expectancy. At
the same time, disability, regardless of definition, has the potential of having
lesser impact on the individual and family than in the past. Better health care
and the advent of assistive technologies bring a potential for a better quality
of life and full inclusion into society for persons with disabilities, regardless
of their socioeconomic status or race/ethnicity. Unfortunately, the benefits
of such advances will occur only in nations where appropriate policies and
programs place priority on their citizens who have disabilities.
PREFACE xvii

Given that there are finite resources in most countries, maybe the issue is
one of social justice. Clearly, we must develop a context of resource allocation
that will ensure equity for those who are most marginalized or disadvantaged
in the world. This series is a much needed exploration and examination of
disability on a global scale, but within a personalized human context. The
voices in these volumes speak to our need for a common agenda that allows
everyone to be able to participate and to choose who we wish to be or what
we wish to do. No matter whether we live in wealthy, industrialized nations
or poor, struggling economies, we have much more in common than we
often realize.
