The second edition of this landmark textbook is distinguished by
its pioneering approach to encompassing disability and aging
policies under one umbrella, in response to the newly developed
Administration on Aging and Disability. It addresses policy changes
impacting health and disability services resulting from the
Affordable Care Act (ACA) and other new legislation, and offers a
pioneering approach to transforming policy into practice
applications. New to the second edition is current census data and
new legislative mandates from the ACA and other policy
organizations impacting aging adults and/or disabled populations.
Also included is new coverage on Social Media, Motivational
Interviewing, Health Literacy, Underrepresented Groups, LGBT, and
Rural Communities. Podcasts, available as downloads, present the
messages of advocates, lobbyists, policy experts, and consumers who
address various aspects of relevant policies and policy
development. Unlike other texts, the book focuses on triangulating
skills, policies, and programs for graduate students in social
work, public health, gerontology, and rehabilitation. It aims thus
to enhance understanding of policy development through a critical
analysis and review of policy framework, and promotes development
of skills in shaping programs and implementing policy. The text
lays out tools that facilitate policy and program development to
include the media, coalition building, the use of an evidence base,
and how each mandated policy addresses these programs and services.
Chapters include learning objectives, case studies,
review/discussion questions, and resources for additional
information. An Instructor's Manual, Test Bank, and PowerPoint
slides facilitate the teaching process. New to the Second Edition:
