...| Civilian Personnel Advisory Council Capstone Project | | | Heidi M Burbank | 6/1/2015 | HRM 291 Jack McCallum | Introduction Working for the Federal Government has advantages and disadvantages. Many of the concerns of working for other companies like EEO, and Affirmative action have been long covered in the form of a policy letter. Which is a formal document for the government typically on the military sector which dictates the rules and refers the document to official military regulations approved by the Department of Defense (DoD). The government has a very formal process when looking at how they select employees and search for new talent. I primarily work with the Army and the Army for both soldiers and civilians has a very formal process for training and professional development. The Army has a variety of training methods. Online training through multiple websites, and locations for resident training, many positions require formal training before permissions to certain systems.

Most of their businesses weren’t registered because they said they didn’t need to yet the majority of those...

...organization developed to assist those with developmental disabilities and just like every other organization, it has eligibility rules for the people it assists and services. ARC has eligibility requirements that most would consider not too difficult to establish. Any person with any kind of intellectual or developmental disability is accepted into the ARC program, where services vary depending upon need. The catch to these services is the way a person and/or their family will able to financially make the decision to join the organization. The eligibility rules for such programs as Medicare and Medicaid may be the toughest rules to fall into. Being defined as intellectually or developmentally disabled is done by a doctor, usually at a very young age. Being diagnosed as disabled by a doctor falls under: eligibility by professional discretion. Once diagnosed, unfortunately lots of doors and opportunities close for a person. In order to successfully go to ARC for assistance in opening these doors back up, Medicaid is a popular route to take for financial assistance. Information on applying for Medicaid services is very limited online. ARC states, “Medicaid is, however, extremely complicated” (The ARC, 2013). The most basic eligibility rule for Medicaid is income. This is best described as eligibility by means testing. Stigmatization occurs more in the lines of Medicaid than Arc services, but both tie into one another very closely. Medicaid and Medicare are close words, but...

...negative attitudes toward them as a group. These negative attitudes appear to be rooted in a lack of knowledge about people with disabilities, as well as the perpetuation of erroneous stereotypes about them. Some scholars and advocates (e.g., Lee and Rodda, 1994; Unger, 2002) assert that training designed to challenge existing beliefs is the key to changing these negative attitudes. Our research sought to test that assertion by determining the effects of a brief educational intervention on individuals' knowledge about and attitudes toward people with disabilities in the workplace. Using a Solomon four-group quasi-experimental design, undergraduate students were placed into one of four conditions and completed a survey that included a knowledge assessment and the Attitude Toward Disabled Persons Scale (Yuker and Block, 1986). Results indicate that the educational intervention had a significant impact on both participants' knowledge levels and their attitudes, even after controlling for gender and prior experience with people with disabilities. Implications of the findings are discussed. Ads by Google Sell Cloud Storage Now Fully white labelled.

...Legal, Safety, and Regulatory Paper By: Mary Bell University of Phoenix Professor: Edna Wilkerson HCS/341 Working is a way of life in all cultures. Regardless of where you live, you will find people working hard for various reasons and various responsibilities. Some people work just for a mortgage, car note, car insurance, food, and health insurance. Others may work for less or more reasons and responsibilities. Whatever the reason for working, we can all agree that working is necessary to provide for yourself and also for your family. In most occupations, especially in America, we will find that there are all kinds of legal, safety, and regulatory issues at work in the Human Resource Department. Usually, in the beginning of the hiring process, a manager will instruct the new hire to read all the Code of Ethics, Code of Conducts, and Human Resource Guide which in turn should help to benefit the employee because he/she understands the rules and regulations and can become better equipped with the knowledge gained. In the workplace, we have all sorts of safety issues to watch for. Many of us must watch a video on properly handling packages and bending the correct way when picking up items that are potentially heavy and can injure you if neglecting to follow the safety procedures. We have to make sure that we are aware of the exits in the building, water spills, and ladders being out of place and making sure that we are taking precaution every time we clock in to work our...

...In order to become a service dog owner, there are multiple requirements needed not only for the owner itself, but also for the dog. The owner must be aware of the public education that the dog needs, the legal rights that are needed for the owner and dog. The requirements that are needed, and lastly the history of the service dog. Service dogs were developed after World War 1. A school in Germany trained German Shepherds to guide blinded veterans of the war. However, the school did not stay in existence for very long. Dorothy Harrison Eustis was a wealthy Philadelphian who experimented with the training of the German Shepherds as working dogs. She advanced the modern dog guide movement in the United States.

...Developmentally disabled Job Coach Thelma Robinson BUS/303Human Resource Management Mary Wright August 10, 2015 Developmentally disabled job Coach A developmentally disabled job coach is a very rewarding career for someone who enjoys helping others. A job coach is a trained specialist that applies techniques to assist their audience with skills they need to perform job related task. The job coach is also responsible for providing the client with necessary skills to become an acceptable employee. I like to think of the job coach as an extension of the clients learning power. The position as job coach requires a variety of responsibilities. The first responsibility is to work closely with individual/s that has some type of disability. The job coach must then assess the individual to determine what degree of assistance is required. Once the coach has completed the assessment of the individuals he or she must then teach them the basic skills of obtaining employment. The clients must learn work related rules and expectable social behavior. The job coach is required to provide assistance with obtaining...

...I. Intro When voting day arrives, you stand in line, the poll workers check your identification, you vote, and within 10 minutes, you are done. But what happens when you are in a wheel chair and you arrive to your polling location but the voting booth is too high to reach and you can’t fit. Or your manually and visually impaired and have no one to help you fill out your ballot. II. Question With all the state and federal laws in place –including the American’s with Disabilities Act, there are polling places still not making the proper accommodations for people with disabilities. So you might wonder now, has anything been done to ensure all polling locations are updated to fit the needs of all people with disabilities? III. History The Voting Rights Act was passed in 1965 and is a federal law which prohibits voting discrimination based on color, race, or membership in a language minority group (http://legal-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/Voting+Rights+Act+of+1965). The act prohibits the states and their political parties from imposing voting qualifications or perquisites from voting that deny them the right to vote. Furthermore, 40 years later and people with disabilities are still being discriminated against around the time of elections. Some people even question if individuals with disabilities are able to vote and understand what they are voting for. Studies have shown that people with disabilities are interested in government and public affairs (http://www.accessiblesociety...

...the healthy life that they imagined. Growing up, I’ve always seen individuals that have physical challenges, and which they come to have limitation in life. Back in my native country, Haiti, it was not unusual to see children’s that are anorexic or malnourished. Thus, my heart begin to ache for these suffering children’s. From that time I became very passionate about health issues, of not only children’s, but globally. As years goes by, my passion grew even more; thus, I knew that I was going to be a medical doctor when I grow up. However, there’s a category of individuals that I remark of receiving mistreatment from the society. This category is the individuals that are classified as disabled....
