Invest In Inclusion or Invest in Exclusion: The Choice is Ours! Presentation ...LiveWorkPlay
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?

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).
Philanthropedia’s mission is to improve nonprofit effectiveness by directing money to and facilitating discussion about expert recommended high-impact nonprofits.

ExtraSpecialTeas is a visionary Social Franchise Retail Teahouse experience -in the US- offering first time employment opportunities for those with Intellectual & Developmental Differences [IDDs].
Our Value Proposition is two-fold: 1] INTEGRATED EMPLOYMENT, 2] COMMUNITY BUILDING.
Our Value Framework is a sturdy triangle: a] purpose, b] possibility/transformation, 3] belonging.
Currently, with two locations in Massachusetts, EST is set to expand rapidly over the next 5yrs, integrating communities through our unique Teahouses, literally working Laboratories, where we explore, create & enjoy life through the World of Tea in a completely new way.
Our offering is ultimately about Transforming the Possibilities of Tea, Ourselves, our Local Communities & the World -one step at a time. We champion a new Mainstreet Experience that everyone embraces -one in which- Everything we do & serve is good for Everyone.
I’ve been lucky enough to support this Social Innovation Enterprise from the beginning through my role as: Researcher & Strategic Planner, Identity & Brand Strategist, Creative Director, Marketing Strategist, Donor & Fundraising Developer, Product Developer & 360 Designer.
This thriving enterprise blends its own signature organic loose-leaf teas, served hot & cold, plus offers 15 Bubble Tea flavors, and in 2022 was Top 7 of the best bubble tea shops in MA.
EST employees also prepare only gluten-free snacks, both savory as well as sweet baked goods, most of which are loose-tea infused. We also developed the first ever tea-infused dog treat -TeaBones- in pumpkin, apple & blueberry flavors, all with Lavender-Chamomile Tea which aids in their digestion & reduces anxiety levels.
In addition to beverage & light faire accompaniments, employees at EST also handcraft tea-infused gifts including: BathBrews, Bubble Soaps & TeaLite Candles, along with many more items. Our integrated employment programming empowers young adults to serve their community -most of which would not otherwise be employed- & they are paid at least minimum wage.
We help each employees develop their strengths & set goals, teaching both Life & Professional Skills
EST also features a robust e-commerce platform with 60+ SKUs. Beyond handcrafting our products, our staff creates the packaging, monitors inventory, & fulfills shipping/handling tasks.
Beyond all this EST locations serve as an events & volunteer hub for local community members who never knew their local hangout could be this interesting!
We savor, serve & sell community.
