| Abstract | This fact sheet discusses the outcome of a study designed to understand the needs of American Indians with disabilities who may have problems that limit their ability to carry out daily activities. Thirty-two American Indians with disabilities were interviewed in three counties in northwest New Mexico regarding the things they used or needed because of their disability. Results indicated many of the respondents had more than one disability, with the most common disabilities being blindness, hearing impairments, and hypertension. The three most common activities limited by the respondent's disabilities were working on a job, taking care of things/responsibilities, and driving. The services needed but not received in the past year were help with services, help with food, dental care, help with clothing, and help with housing. The three most common service agencies providing help were Social Security, Indian Health Service, and Medicaid/Medicare. Respondents needing personal assistance services indicated they had a person who helped them with daily living activities. Recommendations are provided, including the need for service providers: to collaborate on providing services, to provide advocacy training, and to be aware of different tribal cultures. (CR) |
