Title: | Ageing, end-of-life care, and the National Disability Insurance Scheme: What can we learn from overseas? | Contributor(s): | Wark, Stuart (author) | Publication Date: | 2015 | DOI: | 10.3109/13668250.2014.969201 | Handle Link: | https://hdl.handle.net/1959.11/16537 | Abstract: | The author of this conceptual article was awarded a Churchill Fellowship to travel to the United States, Ireland, and United Kingdom to meet with researchers, practitioners, and community agencies and review how support for people with intellectual disability is provided. A specific focus was upon provision of care for individuals who were either ageing or requiring palliative care. The project took place from June to August 2013 and involved face-to-face interviews and site visits with key academics, government representatives, and community providers in Los Angeles, Chicago, New York, New Jersey, Dublin, Edinburgh, London, Oxford, Cambridge, Bath, Bristol, Birmingham, and Stoke-on-Trent. A priority was placed upon examining how the key features of leading practice models could be implemented within the Australian environment featuring a National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS). On the basis of the observations of practice, key points are discussed regarding the potential for improvements to the support of people with intellectual disability within the Australian context of the NDIS. | Publication Type: | Journal Article | Source of Publication: | Journal of Intellectual and Developmental Disability, 40(1), p. 92-98 | Publisher: | Informa Healthcare | Place of Publication: | United Kingdom | ISSN: | 1469-9532 1366-8250 |
