Developing
a Clinical Outcome Measure for Women’s Health and
Disability
This project, funded by the National Institutes of Health,
is developing the first patient reported outcome that is
exclusively focused on the health of women with physical
disabilities. A patient reported outcome is information
directly from the person themselves about a health problem
or other situation. They are being used more and more in
healthcare in addition to evaluation by a healthcare provider.

Acquiring
the Skill of Identifying Fractions through the Virtual-Abstract
Framework
Fractions are an important component of mathematics instruction,
with implications for both academics and daily living. Yet,
more research is needed regarding fraction instruction for
students with disabilities, including those with developmental
disabilities.

Preference
for Food and Non-food Items of Known Reinforcing Values
in People with Developmental Disabilities
When presenting reinforcers to individuals with developmental
disabilities, many researchers use food. However, there
may be other types of reinforcers which may be equally or
more effective. Although preference assessment methods have
been well-researched, one area that has not yet been resolved
is whether food reinforcers are always more preferred than
non-food reinforcers, when both are presented in the same
assessment.

Educating
Children with Physical Disabilities
Physical disabilities can affect a person’s ability
to move about, to use arms and legs effectively, to swallow
food, and to breathe unaided (Black and Pretes, 2007; Hardman
et al., 1999). Such limitations may also be evident in other
areas such as vision, cognition, speech, language, hearing,
and bowel movement.

Physical
Fitness
Physical
fitness is a state of health and well-being and, more specifically,
the ability to perform aspects of sports, occupations and
daily activities. Physical fitness is generally achieved
through proper nutrition, moderate-vigorous physical exercise,
and sufficient rest.
Before
the industrial revolution, fitness was defined as the capacity
to carry out the day's activities without undue fatigue
or lethargy. However, with automation and changes in lifestyles
physical fitness is now considered a measure of the body's
ability to function efficiently and effectively in work
and leisure activities, to be healthy, to resist hypokinetic
diseases, and to meet emergency situations.

We plan
to brand each social & health issue.
So we share them separately and not within the country.
We
know that governments, corporates, funding agencies, philanthropists,
media, NGOs, volunteers are interested in issue programmes
in their country.
So within the issue, we share programmes countrywise.
Global examples are India and Thane district in India.
We started with portals on social sector in India &
Thane in 1999.
If it was other country, we would have taken that as example
country.
Citizens in every country face challenges on many social
& health issues.
Government Ministry of various countries and the schemes
they have must be seen by many other country governments.
Some can be replicated (better word for copying), some can
be modified based on community & country size &
culture.
We
want issues to benefit and want to do it in such a way that
nobody need to come to us to know the details.
So the simple option is share links to the programmes directly
handled by NGO Brands or supported by corporates, funding
agencies, philanthropists, celebrities. We want volunteers
for many issues and we can not handle millions of present
& potental volunteers and thousands of present &
potential donors. That's why we share links, so that volunteers
and donors can directly contact related organisation.
In a way,
we are selfish. Selfish to save our time, so that we can
invest it in all issues, all countries face.
