Great!!

There is a complete separation between management and the DSPs. Why are the DSP people not asked how to provide services and what they need? They are the boots on the ground. You are correct. There needs to be more communication and respect for the people who provide direct services. The care providers are being traumatized by management who has no idea what they are doing. Management should have to do the DSP job for 2 weeks to experience what is really happening. People must be shown they are valued in these positions, not with a pizza party.

So I was asked to watch this as part of my training. It is indeed informative but the voice is just annoying. In every end of her word, she makes that kind of a grating sound.

Thanks you

This principle has resulted in a diminution of the quality of life because of the steady reduction in resources to the intellectually disabled. Whether they live in an institutional setting or group home, their experiences are limited by tradeoffs for each placement. A badly managed residential setting will limit the quality of life in either case. Without getting too far into the weeds, the labels are not as important as the quality of life. It is not practical to dither over distinctions like client, resident, consumer, and, now in the medical model with frontline employees needing CNA's, patient. The name is not as important as the personal interaction, active treatment, where the population lives and visits, and what they are allowed to do at both a recreational and vocational level. This name rectification, budgetary cuts, mission and vision statements, and residential shuffling may have caused us to take our eye off the ball. Even if they had a bowling alley, gym and swimming pool that some may find abhorrent, institutions offered a shared environment and safety that cannot be reproduced in a group home. We can go further than the hamhanded terminology of the past and mention forced sterilizations, lobotomies, and Willowbrook. We can credit JFK - with a personal interest, having an affected family member - with improving the lives of individuals with intellectual disabilities. Retooling my vocabulary has not been a natural process, so I try to skip ahead to the next subject. I'm not comfortable talking about neurotypical behavior and trisomy-21. You can tell we care, because we are the ones that you will find crying at the funeral. My general rule with labels and names is to ask the person directly how they would like to be addressed.

My wife!! Very proud😊😊😊

Love this story and I love Phase's "Why"!

In British Columbia in the 1970s, they forced parents to surrender their sick kids for experiments because the crown didn't need disabled people in its socialist utopia. Pave the road or return to sender they said.

I understand completely about people that have disabilities but i just cant wrap my mind around how caregivers are paid and treated as well. It is a shame how majority of caregivers are paid. Not even a livable wage and are expected to care for someone. Alot of caregivers are treated like crap and are expected to work. Its very inhumane and it disgust me!!!!!!!!!!

Sten Deno. The real OG.

A true visionary and honest intellectual. I've always appreciated WW's perspectives, particularly around his concepts of deviancy, and am grateful to now know some of his thoughts about some of the rather absurd ideas emanating from disability studies faculty. Disabilities are real. They cause impairments and negatively impact the person's life in ways that command our support, care, understanding, and acceptance. WW is spot on when he points out the hypocrisy of social constructionists who both claim disabilities are not real while also advocating for social supports and services for the people who have them. Thank you to the ICI at Minnesota for sharing this clip

Great Policy Forum. Bummed the recording was cut short. I wanted to hear what Sherri had to say!

Thank you to UDAC for sharing your story!

Fantastic work!

That's the first thing he taught me. Loved seeing this video of my friend Gary.

Thanks for sharing this video of my son Irv Rubin

Thank you to the University of Minnesota for interviewing Nancy Wolfensberger, celebrating over 50 years of marriage with Dr. Wolf Wolfensberger. Wolf Wolfensberger was always known as the German professor, and sharing life together in the US from Nebraska to Toronto, Canada and then to their life together in Syracuse, New York. Yes, across from Nottingham High School. It was a pleasure to meet Nancy in her/their driveway way back in 1977 on the way to Camphill, Village where she said she had visited Camphill Village already and would not be on the trip of several days! (See, Racino, 2014, p.34). We send condolences on the passing of both Nancy and Wolf Wolfensberger, and wish we had created the real story together of our lives as Polish Americans (Iḿ a WWII veteran family-Augie Racino, Bernard Bien, Lou Bien, John and Mary (Bien) Civiok, Joe Bien, and William Bien) and German Americans in America! Yes, to Utica Monday Nite in Utica, NY. Julie Ann Racino, Cornell and Syracuse University Alumni, 2023

You make me want to be a better person! Find out the secret > ρяσмσѕм .

They do not need to build more institutions they need to make more stuff for the community make programs and stuff more more way people can live on the community with happy lives no more institutions

Thanks a lot for all your work Dr. Shgren!

This is a really wonderful program. As a Special Education teacher, I worry so often about what services my students will receive--if any--to support their continued independence when they grow up. Anything less than full local, regional, and national government support for those kinds of aides is a moral failure, in my opinion.

Hello how RU? I would like to speak to you I have a situation that I need some help with plz. God bless
