Starting with the closure of the institutions it feels like every single government backed innovation in intellectual and developmental disability services coincided with also saving the government money. Discuss.
Imagine if all the barbers on social media cutting autistic kids hair became disability support workers.
Sorry not sorry. It is not always as polite as everyone would like. #downsyndrome #intellectualdisabilities #intellectualdisabilities #developmentaldisabilities
Some will say they can’t do all this, when they should be asking what they can do. #intellectualdisabilities #developmentaldisabilities #downsyndrome #autism
What would it be like to grow up in a care home?
If you don’t get it imagine someone doing this to you. #intellectualdisability #developmentaldisability #downsyndrome #autism
This damn intellectual disability just won't go away. A survey of 3,500 people who receive disability benefits revealed 13 per cent said they had attempted suicide as a result of interacting with the government. A third said it had caused them to plan suicide.
Dead 😂 #downsyndrome @fionnathan
Same rights as everyone. Yea right. #developmentaldisabilities #intellectualdisabilities #downsyndrome #autism
Save us. #intellectualdisability #Disability
Me and Mine is the most important boundary for people with intellectual disabilities. Dave Hingsburger wrote the Me and Mine course. This is an excerpt from that module. #developmentaldisabilities #intellectualdisabilities

@Open_Future in uk the money was moved to other government depts. NHS to DWP + Local councils. Housing benefit ESA, PIP health and social care local authority depts. so yes! Colleagues of mine who are retiring at the moment have the old end of salary NHS pensions. yep, I'm little bitter!
@Open_Future It shouldn’t be about saving money. It should be about how investing money in intellectual and developmental services is an investment in a local community cos that’s what most of the people who work in or are supported by people will live.
Here's to many more people living ordinary lives, doing ordinary every day things like having a job, relationships and the joy of having pets ❤️ #SupportingGoodLives #BetterIsPossible #HumanRightsDefenders @ParadigmSally @Open_Future

This damn intellectual disability just won't go away. A survey of 3,500 people who receive disability benefits revealed 13 per cent said they had attempted suicide as a result of interacting with the government. A third said it had caused them to plan suicide.
Yes!! I love that there are so many achievements but ours are a very different kind. 🤗 #DownsSyndrome
George is not the poster boy for World Down Syndrome Day. There are many people like George who we do not see. George can scoop his food on his own with a spoon. can lift his arms to help his mother to put on his sweater. can go for a walk with his family...
@Open_Future Thank you so much for this. I get the sentiment of the viral campaign but my Downs sister could do very little for herself - every tiny achievement was a milestone. It was great to see others running marathons, working etc but those like my sister were forgotten+never celebrated
This! Thank you @Open_Future! Great message. Want to hear more from this artist!!! Protect the Independent Living philosophy!
Some will say they can’t do all this, when they should be asking what they can do. #intellectualdisabilities #developmentaldisabilities #downsyndrome #autism

Love these videos, real-life examples of ableism, biased beliefs, how that translates into the system we have inherited and, most importantly, how to push through with the human rights-based approach to disability 👏 Highly recommend following this account 👇
