OnSide NDIS’ Post

Why am I seeing so many posts about disability community orgs across Australia who are about to enter the new financial year with their funding slashed? We're talking cuts of over 50%! Not only are many of their employees about to be out of a job, but the crucial services and programs they deliver to disabled people are about to be deeply wounded, or dead. That's a rhetorical 'Why', of course, but it doesn't bode well for NDIS participants; it doesn't bode well for those of us unable to access the NDIS; and it doesn't bode well for our still mysterious Foundational Supports, either. #ndis #DisabilityRights #DisabilityInclusion #FoundationalSupports #DisabilityRightsareHumanRights

Washington Group Questions give detailed information on PWDs involvement rather than the conventional and dichotomous way of asking "Are you disabled?" Excited to announce that I have completed the 'Introduction to Washington Group Questions' online course by VSO through Humanitarian Leadership Academy. Aggregated data can mask inequalities, but the WGQ tool offers a more nuanced understanding of disability by providing detailed information on prevalence rates and domains of difficulty in daily life. This data is crucial for informed decision-making and resource allocation. #Disability #Washingtongroupquestions

This month is #DisabilityAwarenessMonth & we want to continue our efforts in advancing #equitablelearning for kids w/ #disabilities. Learn more about this issue & the policy changes we recommend to create inclusivity in the classroom for disabled children. https://lnkd.in/gtE4ap2k

In this insightful discussion, we delve into the #complexities and evolving landscape of the #NDIS and the broader support #ecosystem. The conversation highlights the ongoing need for collaboration between the Commonwealth and State governments to tackle the diverse issues and work towards a cohesive support network for people with #disabilities. It's a thought-provoking look at the future of disability #support and the journey towards a more integrated and equitable system. #devsingh #devsinghaus #Devsinghperth #australia #perth

Being diagnosed with a learning disability does not mean a person is not intelligent. It means they need extra support and specialised care to overcome the challenges they face in a particular subject area and learn in their unique way. Learning Disability Week is a time to uplift those within the community and support them in overcoming the barriers they face.

You are your best advocate. It's not easy, especially if you are fighting for Disability Inclusion. It can beat you down, and make you feel like giving up. But you have probably done this your whole life, who better to spread much needed education. Why not YOU? YOU have the lived experience. Advocating for yourself is creating history and is advocating for others. BE THE CHANGE!!!! #ADHD #DIVERSITY #DEI #INCLUSION #BeTheChange #advocacy #disability #equity #autism #AUDHD

I may be an NDIS participant, but I still get a little lost around what is happening with the changes to the NDIS. Thank you Summer Foundation Ltd and Dr George Taleporos (GAICD, PhD) for their podcast, which draws in experts to help explain and explore the issues. #NDIS #Disability #Community #Podcast
