If we want better outcomes for students with mental health disabilities, we have to stop asking, “Why won’t they?” and start asking, “What is making this hard?”

"Inclusion isn't forcing children with diverse needs to conform to the accepted norm. Until we shift that mindset, we will continue to send the message to children that they just aren't worthy; they just don't make the cut. And that's a problem we all own." Shelley Moore

Je viens de tomber sur une publication très cool de Chronically Jenni (sur un site que je ne nommerai pas on a pas envie d'en entendre parler ici donc je mets pas le lien du post, à la place jte le copie-colle)
C'était en vidéo, mais voici le texte (déso c'est en Anglais et j'ai pas l'énergie de traduire actuellement, si qqn se sent de le faire je prends) :

"Five things we already accept about glasses that we should also accept about mobility aids.
1. Not seeing someone’s aid does not mean they no longer need it.
If someone wears glasses but is not wearing them, most people do not assume their eyesight has magically improved. They might be wearing contact lenses, managing without them for one task or struggling to see. The same applies to mobility aids. Someone might be using supports you cannot see, avoiding certain activities or pushing through without the aid they need.
2. People can need different aids for different activities.
Someone might need glasses to drive but not to read their phone. Similarly, someone might walk around their home but use a rollator outside, a manual wheelchair for shorter trips and a powerchair for longer days. Needs can change depending on pain, fatigue, distance, environment and accessibility. That is not inconsistency. It is choosing the right support for the situation.
3. An aid is not an invitation to ask, “What happened to you?”
People rarely stop someone wearing glasses and ask, “What happened to your eyes?”. Yet mobility aid users are regularly expected to explain their diagnoses, injuries or disabilities to strangers. If you would not ask someone wearing glasses why they need them, do not ask someone using a mobility aid.
4. Using a mobility aid is not giving up.
Nobody thinks wearing glasses means someone has failed to try hard enough to see.
Mobility aids can prevent injury, reduce pain, conserve energy and provide independence. They do not stop people living their lives. They often make those lives possible.
5. Stop saying “wheelchair-bound”.
We do not call someone “glasses-bound”. Wheelchairs provide movement, freedom and access. Try “wheelchair user” instead. Glasses and mobility aids are not exactly the same, but both help people navigate the world more safely and independently.
Before questioning someone’s mobility aid, ask whether you would make the same assumption about their glasses.
What do you wish more people understood about mobility aids? Share this video to help challenge these assumptions.

I may have a disability (MS/Multiple Sclerosis) but i was able to lift my hed by myself and change the overall cover of my bed with the usual help without falling on the floor! Just goes to show when you put your mind to it, any disability can be overcome, either by using your brain to surpass what people think is impossible or by creating a different solution. 🫶 #disability #disabilityawareness #multiplesclerosis
