Abstract

Constraints on the autonomy of elderly people with disabilities arise from low goal formulation and underestimated potentials for self-realization and full participation in society. Elderly persons themselves embrace an elderly mystique, as do formal and informal providers, who concentrate on activities of daily living and avoiding nursing home placement. Suggested is the utility of reviewing the effects of the Women's, Mentally Retarded, and Independent Living Movements to assess the presence or absence of elements analogous or applicable to the physically disabled elderly.

  • The new ageism promoted through the skis versus wheelchair analogy replaces an earlier generalized dread of aging with a more specific fear of aging with a disability.

    “Similarly, the ''new ageism'' inadvertently promoted though the skis versus wheelchair analogy simply replaces an earlier generalized dread of aging with a more specific fear of aging with a disability (Cohen, 1988).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
