What support services are provided to people who are mentally handicapped today?
Q. What support services are provided to people who are mentally handicapped today and how is the service today compared with the service they recieved in the 1930's?
Asked by smilessxoable - Tue Mar 3 21:44:07 2009 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments

A. It depends on what the person with a mental disability needs. A vocational rehabilitation counselor will provide available services from their office based on individual assessment of the client's capabilities versus the office resources. But cumulatively, services are much better than in 1930's America. First, people with disabilities are not automatically institutionalized away--out of sight, out of mind. Secondly, they are legally entitled to obtain a free appropriate and quality public education (aka special education) in their local school district. This was unknown in the 1930's. You did not educate people with disabilities because they were not expected to be productive in the public sphere doing anything.

Electrical question...What size should service wires be for 2 one-hundred amp services in a two family house?
Q. I ask that becuase NEC code specifies wire size for services according to amperage for single and multifamily dwellings...but don't specify if you're suppose to add the amperage up if you have more than one service...or the wire size that will accomodate 100 amp service will still be sufficient with another 100 amp service.
Asked by bookums20 - Sun Sep 2 23:42:34 2007 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments

A. this depends on whether both 100 amp services will use the same drop line or will have separate drop lines with separate weather heads...if both of them will be gang mounted with one service head then you will have to use 2/0 copper or 4/0 aluminum...if they are` both going to have there own weather head and services then you would only need 1/0 copper or 2/0 aluminum...plus grounds for both services...

A. Even if your grandma gave the family member who wants to put her into a home a medical power of attorney, she can revoke that if she is of sound mind. There is a concern about who will provide adequate care for your grandmother when she comes home from the hospital. Depending on her conditions, provisions can be made for home care. Contact your local senior services office to ask what sort of support they can offer. Does someone need to be with your grandmother all the time? If so, can the ones who want to help her stay at home take turns? Social service people in the hospital seem to want to push the elderly into nursing homes right away. It makes you wonder whether the nursing homes are giving them commissions. When the… [cont.]

Have the owner sign a contract agreeing to the fact that their pet has been treated by a flea killing product such as the two afore mentioned items. If it is found that the cat is infested with fleas, then the owner will be required to pay for a tube of the product at say, $25.00 a tube, a bath for the cat at the groomers price, and flea treament of the premises by a reputable company. Make certain that they understand this clearly by reciting it to them before you have them sign. So many people sign stuff and never read it and then are shocked at what they signed.

Is denying a client services because they do not speak English illegal?
Q. I work for a non-profit that offers housing for homeless families. It has an application process that requires an interview with the case manager. She doesn't speak spanish, so when spanish speaking clients inquire about their status in the program, she claims that she can't help them. I'm bilingual and have offered to assist, but she insists that it wasn't necessary. I've asked if she's considered hiring a transilator and again she insists that it was not necessary. It just doesn't seem right that they deny people services because of a language barrier.

Are county health and human social services primarily only for women, children and the elderly?
Q. I am working class and couldn t afford mental health services for counseling on my own. I called county social services but unless I was a police code 5150, there didn t seem to be any social services counseling. Instead the primary chunk of social services seemed geared only towards mothers with children, children themselves, the chronically homeless, addicts, or the elderly.

A. It's never a mistake to try. Whether you qualify depends on your county. Usually there are some public mental health programs. For some, you have to be on public assistance. It depends a lot on where you are. I think you are in CA because you reference a CA police code. Look for the number for mental health services in your county. If they say you don't qualify, ask for referrals to other low cost providers- they should have phone numbers. Consider looking outside of public services, too. Often, clinics associated with universities will offer discounted/sliding scale services. Some non-profits also offer sliding scale fees.

Asked by cram_141 - Sun Nov 2 19:02:06 2008 - - 5 Answers - 0 Comments

A. The Anglican and Episcopal churches themselves are the closest Protestant equivalents to the Catholic Church, although the Methodists do share some similarities, too. They differ from the Catholics mainly in that they do not recognize the authority of the sitting Pope as any other than a priest--no holier or better than others. There are other theological differences, as well, such as the ability of priests to marry and less emphasis on the veneration of saints.

You could also provide a chat room where the jilted could commiserate with each other.

A. Part of the reason is asymmetric information. The suppliers are in the position of knowing more about what the consumers might need. This is no different from a person who is unfamiliar with plumbing calling a plumber and having the plumber tell them what they need. The plumber can take advantage of this by overstating what is needed. The effects of this can be lessened by getting quotes from other plumbers. Since reputation is important in plumbing, the market may also sort out the good plumbers from those that tend to overstate the problem. Another piece of the puzzle is the existence of medical insurance. Since many people are covered by medical insurance, the incentive to investigate what is needed is lessened.
