Governments must also make sure that people who are dependent because of a severe disability have the same opportunity to achieve a standard of living that is equal to that of the rest of the people. Non-governmental organizations often assist Governments by devising needs, suggesting solutions and providing services balancing to those provided by Governments. Allocation of financial and material resources by all sections of the population, not leaving out the rural areas of developing countries could be of major implication to disabled persons by resulting in expanded community services and improved economic chances. It is thought that many disabilities could be prevented if measures were taken against malnutrition, environmental pollution, poor hygiene, inadequate prenatal and postnatal care, water-borne diseases and accidents of all types. The international community could make a major breakthrough against disabilities caused by poliomyelitis, tetanus, whooping-cough and diphtheria, and to a lesser extent tuberculosis, through a world-wide expansion of programs of immunization (Programme of Action Concerning Disabled Persons, n.d.).

4. What is social responsibility of healthcare provider living in the U.S. To people with disability in the throughout the world? How can we make differences as individuals?

Poverty is a major problem. Health gaps typically reflect equality gaps. There is a terrible irony for the enormous numbers of people without access to health because poverty aggravates poor health while poor health makes it harder to get out of poverty (Shah, 2009). Healthcare providers who live in the U.S. have a social responsibility to their field of work and to those people around the world for which they can help to achieve a better way of life. As individuals we can make a difference by giving what we can to those in need. Whether that be money, time or effort, every person that does something helps another person who is unable to help themselves.


5. What type of activities do you think are appropriate and inappropriate for paraprofessionals to perform?

I think that paraprofessionals are a great asset to many professionals in many areas of work. These people should be able to perform the activities in which they are trained for. This could include things such as assisting the professional in what they do or could even consists of doing things on their own without direct professional supervision. As long as the paraprofessional has been trained it is appropriate for them to carry out these duties. On the other hand they should not be allowed to perform functions that require special licensing or education in order to perform. There is always a liability and/or safety issue that must be considered when working in certain fields. There is usually a reason that certain occupations require licensing or education in order to perform them. If there are certain job functions that fit into the category of needed this special licensing or education then these would be things that it would not be appropriate for a paraprofessional to do.
