Social work with transport disabled persons: a wayfinding perspective in health care.
Transport disabled persons confront extensive architectural and psychosocial barriers during their travel to community based health care services by mass transit. The current health care reform movement affords social work an opportunity to consolidate its expertise with this population. The Certificate of Need program is a method with which social work can provide service to people with transportation disabilities. Social work can also continue its use of the Americans with Disabilities Act and the Urban Mass Transportation Act to assist people with transport disabilities to access community based health care services.
