Today is a very important day for all adults with intellectual disabilities in the state of Massachusetts. Whether you are a person with a disability – a family member or friend - or advocate or other staff sharing your experiences or an organizational representative, your story can advance self-direction. At 1pm today there is a public hearing to consider proposed regulations for Self Determination and Self-Directed Services. The Boston Globe recently published a fantastic op-ed regarding the impact of the Real Lives law on adults with intellectual disabilities.

Important and timely report
NEW REPORT: Disabled children and their families have been overlooked by policy makers for too long and the impact is clear. Our new report with the Disabled Children's Partnership demonstrates why well-resourced and properly coordinated services must be a priority. We want to see urgent action to: 1. Commit to an ambitious cross-Government strategy and outcomes framework to drive improvements for babies, children and young people. 2. A new approach to decision-making that places disabled children’s needs, wishes and outcomes at its heart, involving children and young people every step of the way. 3. Investing more of our national wealth in improving the lives of disabled children and young people and spending strategically on early intervention and prevention.

As part of our membership with the National Children’s Bureau’s Special Education Consortium and Disabled Children's Partnership, we’ve been working hard to ensure disabled children and young people and those with additional needs are explicitly named in any campaign or policy influencing initiative. Our Executive Director Ellie Costello, who is Special Education Consortium Parliamentary Vice Co-Chair alongside Cath Lowther, sought to address this, offering this important challenge to the ‘big 5’ charities. Inclusion starts with any sector actively modelling it, and this includes the third sector. Unless the interests of disabled babies, children, young people, and their families are explicitly named and included in any strategy, it will continue to be a ‘bolt on’ issue, rather than built in, by design. Because until we start developing solutions across sectors, politics, policy and practice with disability and additional needs at the centre, we will continue to fail our most marginalised, underserved, under-represented and under-resourced communities. Innovation and improvement flourishes when we are forging a new path together, inclusively and actively. The Special Education Consortium is a consensus-led group of 40 organisations working to ensure the rights and interests of SEND children and young people are at the centre of policy and practice. Together, we do amazing work.

By better understanding which family planning client populations report unfair treatment, the types of unfair treatment they received, and their responses to unfair treatment, family planning clinics can create strategies to decrease discrimination and increase equitable delivery of services.
