“…Moreover, women with disabilities are particularly ill-advantaged, earning even less than men with disabilities (61). One of the most significant consequences of the under and unemployment of people with disabilities is poverty (63,64). As this population is more likely to be unemployed, they are also more likely to live in poverty and face social exclusion.…”

Access to Dental Services for People Using a Wheelchair

Objectives. We investigated the perspectives of people using a wheelchair and their difficulties in accessing dental services. Methods. Our participatory research was on the basis of a partnership between people using a wheelchair, dental professionals, and academic researchers. Partners were involved in a committee that provided advice at all stages of the project. Our team adopted a qualitative descriptive design. Between October 2011 and October 2012 we conducted semistructured individual interviews with 13 adults who lived in Montreal, Québec, Canada, and used a wheelchair full time. We audio-recorded and transcribed verbatim interviews, and we interpreted data using an inductive thematic analysis. Results. Oral health is of heightened importance to this group of people, who tend to use their mouth as a “third hand.” We identified successive challenges in accessing dental services: finding a dentist and being accepted, organizing transportation, entering the building and circulating inside, interacting with the dental staff, transferring and overcoming discomfort on the dental chair, and paying for the treatments. Conclusions. Governments, dental professional bodies, dental schools, and researchers should work with groups representing wheelchair users to improve access to dental services.

“…Not only are the effects of disability on family well-being often subtle, but extreme poverty in one area of functioning may exist side-by-side with abundance in another. Picking up on these themes, Zaidi and Burchardt [21] show that disabled people may have a lower standard of living than nondisabled people with the same income, due to their differing needs. These needs encompass both disability-specific items, and greater amounts of general household commodities [15].…”

“…These needs encompass both disability-specific items, and greater amounts of general household commodities [15]. Households with disabled members may need to spend more on these items, diminishing the means available for resources which would raise the general living standard in the home [21]. In sum, work in this area directs attention toward the multi-dimensional ways in which poverty and disability intersect and overlap.…”

Background: In low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), limited access to a range of supports means that families often carry primary responsibility for the care of a disabled child. The impact of this responsibility is poorly understood. Objective: To present a selective review, critique, and comparison of the prominent areas of research aimed at understanding families with disabled children in the Global South. Design: We compare and critically discuss prominent bodies of literature concerning the family-disability-poverty nexus in LMICs. Results: Three prominent bodies of literature concerned with families with a disabled child in LMICs are reviewed. These were selected based on their relative prevalence in a large review of the literature, and comprise (1) work concerning quality of life (FQOL) of families with a disabled child; (2) interventions aimed at supporting families with a disabled child in LMICs; and (3) the ways in which culture mediates the families’ experience of disability. FQOL research points to poverty as a primary source of family distress, and directs our focus towards families’ own expertise in coping with their circumstances. Intervention literature from LMICs highlights the family as the unit of analysis and praxis concerning disabled children, and reminds us of the contextual factors which must be considered when working with their families. Conclusions: Culturally oriented research on poverty, disability, and the family nuances our understanding of the locally-determined priorities of families with a disabled child in LMICs. All three research strands carry benefits, limitations and gaps. The complexity of understanding families with a disabled child in LMICs comes to the fore, directing us away from narrow application of any single theoretical or research framework. Future researchers may draw on insights provided here in creating a more integrated approach.

Se estima que el 15% de la población mundial tiene una discapacidad. Existe un vínculo directo entre pobreza y discapacidad. La población con discapacidad se encuentra entre la más desaventajada y discriminada. Sin embargo, las teorías económicas sobre desarrollo han omitido cuestiones esenciales sobre esta población, contribuyendo a su invisibilidad y pobreza. La teoría de las capacidades desde un enfoque basado en los derechos humanos nos proporciona una nueva dimensión del desarrollo. Los costes extraordinarios derivados de la discapacidad y de las barreras psicológicas, físicas y sociales a las que se enfrentan las personas con discapacidad contribuyen a su pobreza, falta de libertad y vulneración de derechos humanos, y así se evidencia en los diferentes estudios llevados a cabo. La cooperación para el desarrollo se convierte en una herramienta esencial para la promoción de los derechos de las personas con discapacidad y la lucha contra la pobreza.
