The rehabilitation home economist
1980
Yost, Anna Cathryn
There are about 25 million handicapped people in the United States who may benefit from the assistance of a trained home economist. However, the rehabilitation home economist requires specialized training. The following additional undergraduate courses will aid the home economist in working with the handicapped: advanced nutrition and diet therapy, household equipment, housing modifications, and individual and family financial management. Other concerns a home economist should be prepared to address are clothing, work simplification, the medical aspects of disability, and working with community agencies. Students planning to work with the deaf or visually limited need to follow a very specialized curriculum. A program to develop an undergraduate major in home economics rehabilitation is explored.
