| Abstract | This study is a follow-up to a 1990 needs assessment of American Indians with disabilities in the Denver (Colorado) region. The study involved a content analysis of transcripts of three focus group meetings of Project Advisory Committee (PAC) members, American Indians with disabilities, and service providers. Overall, PAC members and service providers indicated that change had occurred and was continuing to occur in services provided to American Indians with disabilities following the needs assessment. However, in the consumer focus group, the American Indians reported no difference in their perception of service delivery since the needs assessment. They identified three areas of service which remained inadequate--transportation, dental services, and dissemination of information about services. Findings suggest that minimal change occurred and that an information gap exists between service providers and consumers. The need for better coordination among service providers was stressed. The report details focus group responses for: in-home outreach; case management; vocational rehabilitation services; employment opportunities; self-advocacy; community-building; health and wellness programs; efforts to train, hire, and retain Indian personnel; role of the University-based research team; role of the American Indian community; and linkages among service providers. Appendices include focus group questions and related material. (Contains 16 references.) (DB) |
