Sometimes we are driven by fear to select options that seem safe. These might include special schools, group homes, day programs, even “special swimming classes”. Yet, ironically, safety has never come from segregated settings.
Being with valued people in valued places doing valued activities is what keeps people safe.
Having someone in your life committed to your wellbeing is what keeps people safe.
Paid services and grouping people based on disability can’t replicate or replace these critical elements.
In this session, John will provide a framework to help us overcome our fears. He’ll show us how to use our Vision to truly safeguard the lives of people with disability.
