description

David Braddock, Ph.D., Professor and Executive Director of the Coleman Institute for Cognitive Disabilities gave a keynote address at the National Association of State Directors of Developmental Disabilities Services (NASDDDS) 2010 Annual Conference in November. His address offered a sobering view of the state of the states. Dr. Braddock said that, for the first time since he began collecting federal spending data in 1972 – and probably since the Great Depression, total inflation-adjusted public intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD) spending declined in the U.S. in 2009. However, he did provide some examples of new approaches to service delivery that offer rays of hope for the future of DD services, including a substantial shout-out to Imagine!’s SmartHomes project. Check out slides 52-60 for more on the SmartHomes, and check out the rest of the slides to get a better sense of why this ambitious project is so necessary. Many thanks to Dr. Braddock for giving us permission to share his presentation.

MEASURING STATES’ COMMITMENTTO I/DD SERVICES

Fiscal effort is a ratio that can be utilized to rank states according to the proportion of their total statewide personal income devoted to the financing of I/DD services.

Fiscal effort is defined as a state’s spending for I/DD services per $1,000 of total statewide personal income.

INTEGRATED WIRELESSSENSOR NETWORKS

IN THE FUTURE:

A combination of wireless cell phone, Internet, and sensor technology will connect people, objects, and events.

Smart homes/care will play key roles in assisted living for persons with I/DD, allowing seamless connectivity between clients, caregivers/health care providers, and parents.

50

WHERE TO PUT WIRELESS SENSORS?

TWO PRIMARY METHODS TO REMOTELY MONITOR A PERSON’S PHYSICAL AND MENTAL STATE AND LOCATION:

1. Via instrumenting the environment(Sensors located in rooms, on doorways, drawers, faucets, light switches, mattresses, pill bottles, etc.)

2. Via sensors located directly on people

Both have advantages: environmental sensors are less instrusive, and do not require user compliance. Person sensors offer more direct measurement.

INDIANA GOVERNOR MITCH DANIELSENDORSES SMART HOME TECHNOLOGY

“We can alleviate some of the demand for Direct Support Professionals (DSPs) by identifying new service options for people who do not need intensive DSP support.

The system is tailored to the needs of each person who uses it and has been shown to improve personal independence, as well as alleviating the needs for a direct support professional where one is not needed.”

“…we could begin to develop a society in which our work, our cultural accomplishments, social life, sense of fairness, the general standard for the whole population, your work with helping people who come into society with disabilities and impairments, these things become the true and dominant measure of how well we’re doing….”

BERNANKE: NATION MUST TAKE ACTION SOON TO SHAPE FISCAL FUTURE

“The arithmetic is, unfortunately, quite clear…To avoid large and unsustainable budget deficits, the nation will ultimately have to choose among higher taxes, modifications to entitlement programs such as Social Security and Medicare, less spending on everything else from education to defense, or some combination of the above.

These choices are difficult, and it always seems easier to put them off—until the day they cannot be put off any more.”

STATES OUT OF BALANCE

“….There is no way that these newly elected Republican lawmakers and governors can follow through on their promises to erase huge deficits without raising taxes—except by making irresponsibly draconian cuts in the critical state services, particularly for the poor [including people with disabilities] and for education.

The states, like the federal government, need to get control of spending. That may mean dealing with out-of-control pensions. It may mean careful cuts in services combined with, yes, higher taxes.

STATES OUT OF BALANCE:II

States have long been in the paradoxical position of being closer to the lives of voters than the federal government, while receiving far less scrutiny and attention. But if Republicans begin abusing the privilege they have been handed, imposing unconscionable cuts and claiming an unfair partisan advantage, they may find the public’s outrage turning back on them in a hurry.
