EDITOR'S EYE
Dear Social Work Colleagues,
Welcome to Issue #80 of the Social Work E-News. This e-mail newsletter is brought to you by the publisher of THE NEW SOCIAL WORKER magazine, SocialWorker.com, SocialWorkJobBank.com, and other social work publications.
July 26 marks the 17th anniversary of the signing of the Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA). A 22-minute film of President George H. W. Bush's speech and signing of the Act is available online at http://www.usdoj.gov/crt/ada/videogallery.htm#anchor%20ADAsigning990 & You can also find more information about the ADA at http://www.ada.gov or by calling the ADA Information Line at 800-514-0301 (voice) or 800-514-0383 (TTY).
I am very excited about the new book that I co-edited with Dara Bergel Bourassa, DAYS IN THE LIVES OF GERONTOLOGICAL SOCIAL WORKERS. This book consists of 44 firsthand stories of social work with and on behalf of older adults. As co-editor, I found the stories extremely exciting and interesting-and they sparked my own interest in doing some work with this population. I am including an excerpt from this book in this issue of the Social Work E-News.

BOOK EXCERPT: DAYS IN THE LIVES OF GERONTOLOGICAL SOCIAL WORKERS
The Blessings of Meals on Wheels
by Kay A. Long, BSW, RSW
Good morning, Meals on Wheels, Kay speaking." Thus starts my day, five days a week, every other week, in Lethbridge, Alberta, Canada. I am part of an army of people throughout North America (maybe even the world) who feed people who can no longer prepare their own meals as a result of illness, disability, or age (in some cases all three). And, as we all know, a steady diet of canned soup, potato chips, and cookies is not conducive to healing and/or good health. Our bodies require a balanced, varied diet to promote physical, mental, and emotional well being. That's where Meals on Wheels comes in. We provide a nutritious, hot meal, five days per week, for those who need our help, either on a short- or long-term basis. Meals on Wheels is a wonderful example of people helping people, and I believe passionately in our mission. In fact, I am such a strong supporter of this service that I came out of retirement for the third time to become a job-share coordinator for this nonprofit organization. At my age, a half-time position is perfect. It provides exercise for both mind and body, and I am able to help others-an important objective for all social workers.
You have to be inspired or crazy to go back to work at 68. Perhaps I'm a little of both, but as a board member and a volunteer driver for Meals on Wheels, I saw firsthand the need for the service. So, when the newest job-share coordinator quit suddenly after only six months, I said I'd take the job. Most of the clients fit the category of the frail elderly, and many are living alone in their own homes. The majority of our volunteers are also senior citizens. Several have said that they support the service so it will be there when they need it. Our office is located in a seniors' lodge, so I have daily interaction with seniors who have made the choice to be where lodging and meals are provided. There is always a variety of cheerful "good mornings" from people who are still mobile, often with various types of walkers. At my age, I am honored to be surrounded by those who are older and less active than I am; it also makes me feel like a "kid."
My "on duty" days start at 8:00 a.m., when I unlock the door to our small office and switch on the lights. The first task of the day is to retrieve any messages from our voice mail. If clients have been hospitalized or invited out for lunch the night before, they call and leave a message that they will not need a meal for the next day. Most Mondays there will be at least one message from a client who has lost track of the days of the week and has called on Saturday, wondering why his or her meal is late. (We deliver meals Monday through Friday only.)
After all changes are made, I am ready to make the final count of clients to be served that day, process the billing on the computer, and ensure that the client cards in the route books match the roster for the day. The route books contain client cards with names, addresses, special dietary needs and delivery instructions (i.e., front door, back door, leave meal with neighbor, and so forth) for the volunteers who deliver the meals. Three days per week (Monday, Wednesday, Friday), there are seven color-coded routes. On Tuesday and Thursday, there are five routes. On a weekly basis, five days a week (even during holidays), we process, coordinate, and deliver approximately 350 meals. To further complicate the process of route preparation, not all clients receive meals five days a week. Meal delivery days are scheduled according to the client's individual lifestyle and budget. Some of our clients get meals only three days a week, and their weekly scheduling varies in all possible combinations.
At 9:30 a.m., it is time to go to the kitchen and prepare the work area. Two young women who are employed through Lethbridge Family Services' DaCapo Program carry out the actual process of placing the hot meal with accompanying soup, bun, crackers, and dessert in the styrofoam meal boxes. DaCapo is a program that trains the mentally and physically challenged people in our community, with the help of their job coach, to learn the basics of employment skills. Working with this team is one of the best parts of the job.
By 10:00 a.m., we are ready to roll. As the kitchen staff dishes up the meals, the DaCapo staff places the packaged food items into the styrofoam containers and I begin bundling the containers into the route groups. The first meals to be handled and sorted are the specials: diabetics, no gravy, no sauces, ground meat, or ground meat and vegetables. The meal boxes are strapped together in bundles of three to five boxes and color-coded with clip-on ribbons. As a bundle is completed, I load it onto a flat-bed dolly. On days when we serve large numbers of meals, we also use a large kitchen cart. If all goes well, we complete the job by 10:45 a.m. and take the meals down in the elevator to the volunteers who are waiting to deliver the meals to each individual client.
On a good day, everything goes according to plan. We have the correct number of meals, all the volunteer drivers and couriers show up, and all the clients are at home, waiting to get their meals. My best guess is that a good day happens about 50% of the time. If one of the above doesn't happen according to plan, it is my responsibility to make it right. This means that there are days when we have to go back to the kitchen to get an extra meal, or I have to deliver a route, or act as a courier, or I have to get on the phone and call until I find out if a client is in the hospital, at home in distress, or just forgot it was a meal day and left home. Part of our service is a safety check for our clients and we, at times, have been the first alert that a client is in trouble.
Once the meals are gone, I begin to prepare for the next day. Before I go home at 4:00 p.m., I have completed the meal count, the client list, and the volunteers' route assignments for tomorrow (all subject to change, of course).
This job is never dull, and we often operate in crisis mode. It is the personification of old Murphy's Law: "If anything can go wrong, it will." Along with the primary duty of getting the meals out each day, there is the daily bookkeeping, monthly collections, computer work, client applications and terminations, and phone and receptionist duties. Most important, we handle all exceptions to the rule as they arise and, trust me, they do. During any given month, there is interaction with approximately 100 clients who use the service, and at least that many volunteers.
For a social worker who has always described herself as a people person, it doesn't get much better. I am blessed to have my December days of employment be the best I have experienced in more than 40 years of a working career.

ARI Web Site
http://www.autism.com
The Autism Research Institute (ARI) is a worldwide network of parents and professionals concerned with autism. The organization's Web site at http://www.autism.com is devoted to the idea that autism is a treatable condition.
"Not only does extensive research and our experience show that autism is treatable," said ARI director Dr. Steve Edelson, "but we believe recovery from autism is possible--and drugs are not our only option."
Packed with research and information undertaken by ARI, the site provides direction for getting help, plus inspiring parents to take on the diagnosis of autism and embark on activities that ARI believes lead to recovery.
New tools on the site include videos, an extensive treatment list, an e-newsletter, and ARI's inclusion of the medical protocols that support their goal of recovery -- the most comprehensive collection in the world.
The Web site, which combined www.autism.org and www.autismresearchinstitute.org, provides information on treatments, FAQ's (developed by parents), articles for parents and providers, research papers, a newsletter, and information on Defeat Autism Now (DAN).
