In the past 13 years 265 people have completed the teacher training and are certified instructors of the DanceAbility Method. This study sought to assess the influence of the DanceAbility Method by using a self-report questionnaire to obtain and analyze demographic data and information about the mixed-abilities teaching and choreography of DanceAbility Teachers post-certification. All certified teachers with contact information available (207) were sent the questionnaire. The 61 Certified DanceAbility Teachers who returned completed questionnaires were from 17 countries; the largest percentage of respondents (46%) were Europeans, followed by Americans (23%). Seventy-five percent of all respondents report teaching the DanceAbility Method, and 54% report choreographing mixed-abilities dance work since completing the certification. A significant by-product of this study is the beginning of a directory of Certified DanceAbility Teachers. This thesis includes unpublished co-authored material. / Committee in Charge: Steven Chatfield, Chair; Christian Cherry; Alito Alessi

M.Com. (Transport Economics) / During the 1960's it became apparent that while general levels of mobility were still rising, certain sections of the community actually experienced a decline in these levels. Amongst these sections of the community were the physically handicapped. For years their needs in transportation have been neglected in favour of the needs of the overwhelming majority ...

Disablement is of many types and has varied causes; but when the disability is total or permanent there are serious consequences, economic and social, for the afflicted persons and their families. Two types of disability, those arising from war casualties and those arising from industrial accidents, have been the subject of special provision for many years (national Veterans' legislation and provincial Workmen's Compensation); but civilian non-industrial disablement has only recently become the subject of national legislation. Prior to the institution of Disability Allowances (1955), many of the persons now receiving these grants were Social Assistance cases. This thesis undertakes a descriptive study of a group of such cases, with the special purpose of illuminating the family contests of total disablement. Two types of family situation are chosen: (a) families with a dependent child or younger person; (b) families in which the male head is the disabled person. Against a background of existing records, a small number of typical families in each group were interviewed comprehensively on the nature and implications of the disease or disability, the activities and attitudes of the handicapped person and his (or her) family, and family, neighborhood and community strengths and weaknesses. It proved possible to bring together this picture in integral form under four heads: (1) economic circumstances (including the family budget, and implications for welfare administration); (2) family contributions (strengths and weaknesses); (3) compensating activities and attitudes; (4) community resources and needs. While this account remains qualitative, it provides at least a provisional approach to the realities and limitations of "rehabilitation" for such difficult cases as these. This particular review reveals an area of family solidarity, or at least acceptance of burdens and responsibilities, which deserves more attention than it usually gains, but it also underlines the value of auxiliary welfare services, and the need for discriminate and discretionary application of administrative provisions. / Arts, Faculty of / Social Work, School of / Graduate
