  5. Global #disability summit. #GDS
    Es gab leider wenig Veranstaltungen wo es richtig um #selbstbestimmtLeben und #Selbstvertretung ging.
    Bei einem Panel zum Thema, der durch die Lebenshilfe 🤷‍♀️ organisiert war,war immerhin möglich Fragen zu stellen, Statements abzugeben.
    Das wurde reichlich genutzt. Es gab Bedarf, zu Wort zu kommen. Ich habe auch meinen Senf dazu gegeben, erklärt was für mich Selbveretretung, Selbstbestimmt leben ist. Weit weg von Heimen, Werkstätten. Mit persönlicher Assistenz. Aktiv und nicht Objekt der Politik. Direkte Aktionen gegen Barrieren.

  11. CW: Attacks on Disabled people, PIP, UK politics

    ...Attacking PIP is a further attack on independent living, disability rights and existence. The amount of money we are expected to survive on - and if not able to work, make do with no options to get additional money (or rely on things like family, which has a range of problems with it. Obviously mutual aid a big help here for many) and if can work, face additional barriers to employment e.g. lower pay - is at a disgustingly low level already. This strengthening of attack against Disabled people, timed for the UK local and general elections, is sadly predictable and incredibly dangerous. We will fight back, together; for instance Disabled People Against Cuts (DPAC) has committed to direct action as part of this. Fuck this system of power and divide and rule. Solidarity to all people affected by this, you're not alone. As Disabled people have always done throughout history, we'll fight back against this bile and hatred, together. Everything for everyone. We keep us safe.

  12. #Digital Voice switchover cut off 95-year-old's landline

    My 95-year-old friend is in distress. His #landline has stopped ­working & he’s told by his provider #EE that he may need to accept a new phone number to get his ­service back

    He lives alone & relies on his phone for human contact

    It will be a challenge for him to let ­people know his new number and he risks being cut off from #medical #communications

  13. CW: Attacks on Disabled people, PIP, UK politics

    The attacks on Disabled people and social security such as Personal Independence Payment (PIP) is further evidence of what the United Nations Committee on the Rights of Disabled People reported last week, which "said the UK government had 'failed to take all appropriate measures to address grave and systematic violations' of disabled people’s human rights and had 'failed to eliminate the root causes of inequality and discrimination' since November 2016. It particularly highlighted its failures on the rights to independent living, to work, and to an adequate standard of living and social protection, laid out in the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (UNCRPD)." - disabilitynewsservice.com/seve

    (Obviously to really tackle the root causes, things like capitalism need to go and no electoral system is going to help here!)

    Central to independent living is the recognition that Disabled people face socio-economic and ideologically (e.g medical model) shaped barriers, linking into the social model of disability. PIP - which already has such a harmful, damaging application and assessment process central to it - is intended to help with related extra costs, whether in work or not...

  14. It’s already turning into a bit of week 😰 Elderly Gt Aunt is clearly at the point of needing formal home help but has capacity & is refusing to accept it. Her neighbours are exhausted, and worried (as am I). How we can encourage her to accept a bit of carer support that would mean she can stay in her home? Can anyone recommend a home care company in North Norfolk? Is there temporary support we can call on over Xmas? 🙏🏻 #Ageing #Care #SupportAtHome #IndependentLiving #Norfolk #NorthNorfolk

  15. Thinking about moving to an Independent Living Center #independentliving ? You might what to visit this site first indy-lifestyle.com/ It has a very complete list of centers, has some prices and doesn't require you to enter any personal information to browse.

  16. We are moving Alice into a condo today. Not all the pieces are in place, but enough is here for her to live comfortably and as independently as possible. One sneaky thing I suggested was to bring all her dirty clothes with her and start laundry here. The stacked washer/dryer is not optimal for someone of her stature, but with some adaptation, it will be fine. #DownSyndrome #disability #independence #IndependentLiving

  17. “In general, I see autistic people being denied independence, or allowed their independence but denied much of what constitutes living.”

  21. ⬇️ Mouais 🙄, ceci discuté par 2 très grosses assos nationales dont une gestionnaire fortement maltraitante côté services d'auxiliaires de vie depuis des décennies, qui blablatent l'éternel argument de « Ç'ayyy mal payé » 👉 alors certes, mais sans creuser les fondements du #validisme d'une société capitaliste d'où majorité de postulant-es n'ont (ne veulent avoir ?) aucune éthique autonomiste / #IndependentLiving, mais viennent juste chercher un plan salarial provisoire.
