Person-Centred Thinking and Building Social Capital Supporting an Included Life in the Community with Homes, Jobs, and Friends for People with Intellectual Disabilities

Co-Founders & Co-Leaders, LiveWorkPlay.ca
Starting in 2008, LiveWorkPlay embarked on a journey of “de-programming” by making a shift from congregated programs to authentic community-based, person-centred, and assets-focused thinking and processes. Beyond exciting outcomes such as first homes, first jobs, and first experiences engaging in the community with other citizens, with respect to the experience of an included life, the impact is all about the development of reciprocal relationships and interdependence (social capital).

When talking to the general public about disability and accessibility, this is often what comes to mind: they see a person in a wheelchair who cannot get through the door. These types of barriers remain of course, and I am sure right here in this city someone will go out looking for work tomorrow and experience this very same injustice. But today I want to talk about a different type of barrier, a different level of injustice: what if the very people and systems that are supposed to be supporting a person with a disability to have success in the community are deliberately investing in keeping them out of the community? What if they are discouraged from even trying to get through the door?

The difference this makes for seniors, people with disabilities, and others who have difficulty leaving their home impacts more than just those individuals. It is better for our community as a whole when people have choices that reduce the need for institutions and allows people more time and a longer time to remain in their own homes as our neighbours and friends.

Keynote presentation for Coming Together 2017: "Employing Ability" on May 6, 2017. Coming Together is an annual conference hosted by Service Coordination Ottawa, targeted mainly to young adults with intellectual disabilities and their families members.
This opening keynote by Keenan Wellar, Co-Leader and Director of Communications at LiveWorkPlay.ca, was intended to inspire a call to action to encourage opportunities for employers and other citizens and organizations in the community to see the benefits of including people with intellectual disabilities and autism in their workplaces and neighbourhoods. The presentation was also recorded with the intent of being made available through the Service Coordination website.
Learning Disabilities: Share and Learn Webinar – 25 August 2016NHS England
Topic 1: Co production – a long term relationship and different Conversations
Guest Speakers: Samantha Clark, Chief Executive, Inclusion North
In health & social care we are constantly grappling with how we can work differently and think differently about people who come to our services (willingly and otherwise) needing support. With so many new ways of thinking & working around – co production, person centred approaches, asset based community development, strengths based approaches, community capacity - sometimes it's hard for people who work in services, as well as the people and families they support, to work out what it those mean to their practice. This webinar will focus on the practical values driven implementation of co production – the long term relationship, shifting power but building on all contributions.
Topic 2: Transforming Care and Building the Right Support – the CQC approach to registering services for adults with learning disabilities
Guest Speakers: Theresa Joyce and Sue Mitchell, Care Quality Commission
This webinar will be an opportunity for commissioners to consider the CQC policy on registering providers who apply to deliver services for adults with learning disabilities. The policy is called ‘Registering the Right Support’ and outlines the factors we will consider in both approving and refusing applications for either new services or changes in existing services. We will consider specific issues, such as applications to change the registration of a hospital ward or unit, to register large or congregate services or to increase the size of an existing location. These factors are all important when commissioners are developing their plans under the Transforming Care program, and the webinar will enable discussion and questions about the registration approach and process.

Do you believe that the value of life is just minting money and to take care of those whom you love. Or did you believe that life is worth living in the schedules made by destiny. Today We are living and counting days which only aim to improve our life and those who matter.

About the Speaker
===============
Diogo Sousa, Engineering Manager @ Canonical
An opinionated individual with an interest in cryptography and its intersection with secure software development.
This presentation, created by Syed Faiz ul Hassan, explores the profound influence of media on public perception and behavior. It delves into the evolution of media from oral traditions to modern digital and social media platforms. Key topics include the role of media in information propagation, socialization, crisis awareness, globalization, and education. The presentation also examines media influence through agenda setting, propaganda, and manipulative techniques used by advertisers and marketers. Furthermore, it highlights the impact of surveillance enabled by media technologies on personal behavior and preferences. Through this comprehensive overview, the presentation aims to shed light on how media shapes collective consciousness and public opinion.
This presentation by Morris Kleiner (University of Minnesota), was made during the discussion “Competition and Regulation in Professions and Occupations” held at the Working Party No. 2 on Competition and Regulation on 10 June 2024.

4. 4 ASSET BASED COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT (ABCD) TRAINING COURSES WITH CORMAC RUSSELL REPORT4
Following our ABCD sessions last week The following is proposed
as a possible activity making use of the principles involved.
Issue
It is proposed that Supporting People funding that provides
support for elderly residents in sheltered accommodation is
removed leaving them without needed assistance.
Proposed Activity to address this:
• Informally gather residents to ask the question “How best do
you want to be supported?”
• The results of this will be put to other groups who are or could
be involved in providing that support. These being:- family
carers and relatives, careworkers currently providing the
support and neighbours to the sheltered project.
• Connectors are sought within these gatherings and brought
together in a forum to discuss ways in which the aspirations
of the residents can be met in a more community based way.
Possibly making use of the informal support of other residents,
family carers, community neighbours and some of the existing
careworkers, if ways of financing these can be found (e.g. direct
payments of money provided via local authority social care but
used creatively.)
Result hoped for...
A continued level of support but delivered in a more informal,
creative way, that affirms the role of family carer, neighbour, and
friends, as well as empowering the resident themselves: making
use of paid careworkers in a non-institutional way as personal
assistants who are part of the community rather than external
visitors. This will be based within the sheltered unit and not
involving travel to external institutions such as day centres or the
need to move residents to establishments with greater support.
This is a suggested less institutional result although the actual
result will depend upon the expressed aspirations of the residents
and other groups.
Resources Needed
• Stories of similar activities such as Cormac’s story of his
brother, to encourage a ‘We can’ attitude.
• Possible work amongst the various groups to explore their
abilities and talents that can be used collectively to meet these
needs and to enable their self confidence and community. ( Self
Reliant Groups can provide this encouragement but other ways
can be used)
Way forward
At the moment this is for discussion to see who is interested in
pursuing it. Those of us involved in housing provision or social
services departments will have an obvious interest and input into
this so their involvement would be appreciated.
Further information is also needed in respect of locations of and
extent of need for support within sheltered units. Some of us
may have interest within this issue because of Sheltered housing
establishments in our neighbourhood or even relatives living in
sheltered units. Some may see other groups of people who face
a similar dilemma because of the removal of Supporting People
monies and see application of these ideas elsewhere. Please
respond and we will see what happens from there.
