Unlocking Opportunities: A Comprehensive Guide to Community Access Support Services
In today’s diverse and interconnected world, every individual deserves the chance to engage fully in their community. For people with disabilities, accessing social, educational, and professional opportunities can sometimes be challenging. That’s where community access support services come into play. These services are designed to break down barriers and provide the necessary support for full community participation. In this blog post, we’ll explore what community access support services are, how they work, and why they are crucial for fostering inclusivity.
What Are Community Access Support Services?
Community access support services encompass a broad range of assistance designed to help individuals with disabilities engage in everyday activities and participate in their communities. These services aim to ensure that everyone, regardless of their abilities, has the opportunity to enjoy the same social, educational, and professional experiences as anyone else.
Types of Community Access Support Services
**1. Transportation Assistance: Transportation is often a significant barrier for people with disabilities. Community access support services may include funding for accessible vehicles, ride-sharing programs, or public transport adaptations. These services help individuals reach workplaces, educational institutions, and social events with greater ease.
**2. Personal Support Services: Personal support services involve assistance with daily activities such as personal care, meal preparation, and household chores. This support enables individuals to live independently while participating in community activities and events.
**3. Assistive Technology: Assistive technology includes devices and software that help individuals with disabilities perform tasks more easily. This might include speech-to-text software, hearing aids, or mobility aids. These technologies are essential for enabling effective communication, learning, and mobility.
**4. Educational Support: Educational support services help individuals with disabilities access learning opportunities. This might involve tailored tutoring, special accommodations in the classroom, or assistive learning tools. The goal is to provide equal access to educational resources and support academic success.
**5. Employment Support: Employment support services assist individuals in finding and maintaining meaningful work. This can include job coaching, workplace modifications, and advocacy to ensure that workplaces are inclusive and accommodating.
**6. Social and Recreational Activities: Participation in social and recreational activities is crucial for personal development and well-being. Support services in this area might include assistance with joining clubs, attending events, or engaging in hobbies. These activities help build social connections and enhance quality of life.
How Do Community Access Support Services Work?
Community access support services typically operate through a combination of government programs, non-profit organizations, and private providers. Here’s a general overview of how these services are accessed and utilized:
**1. Assessment and Planning: The first step involves assessing the individual’s needs and goals. This is usually done through a formal assessment process conducted by a support coordinator or case manager. Based on this assessment, a personalized support plan is developed.
**2. Funding and Resources: Depending on the service, funding may come from government programs (such as the National Disability Insurance Scheme in Australia), grants, or private sources. Resources are allocated based on the individual’s support plan and needs.
**3. Service Delivery: Services are delivered by trained professionals or organizations specializing in community support. This could involve direct assistance, providing equipment, or coordinating with other service providers.
**4. Monitoring and Evaluation: Regular reviews and evaluations ensure that the support services are meeting the individual’s needs effectively. Adjustments to the support plan may be made based on feedback and changing circumstances.
Why Are Community Access Support Services Important?
**1. Promoting Independence: These services empower individuals with disabilities to live independently and participate fully in their communities. By providing the necessary support, individuals can pursue their goals and aspirations without being held back by physical or logistical barriers.
**2. Enhancing Quality of Life: Access to community activities, education, and employment greatly contributes to a person’s overall well-being and quality of life. Engaging in meaningful activities and social interactions promotes mental and emotional health.
**3. Fostering Inclusivity: Community access support services play a crucial role in promoting inclusivity. By ensuring that public spaces, services, and opportunities are accessible to all, these services help build a more equitable and compassionate society.
**4. Building Stronger Communities: When everyone has the opportunity to participate fully, communities become more diverse, vibrant, and connected. Community access support services contribute to stronger, more resilient communities where everyone’s contributions are valued.
Getting Started with Community Access Support Services
If you or someone you know could benefit from community access support services, the first step is to reach out to local organizations, support coordinators, or government agencies that specialize in disability services. They can provide information on available resources, eligibility criteria, and how to apply for support.
Resources to Explore:

Conclusion
Community access support services are essential in creating an inclusive society where everyone can participate and thrive. By providing targeted support and resources, these services break down barriers and open up a world of opportunities for individuals with disabilities. Let’s continue to champion inclusivity and work together to ensure that every community member has the chance to lead a fulfilling and connected life.

Last week, Johnson & Johnson agreed not to enforce their secondary patents on bedaquiline in most countries after a long public pressure campaign by TB activists around the world.
(A special shoutout to Nandita Venkatesan and Phumeza Tisilethe, the two women who led the charge to prevent the patent evergreening in India, which is the only reason generic bedaquiline is in production.)
But the problem of patent evergreening is everywhere--as this NYT story reports, Gilead intentionally denied people access to a drug they knew to be less toxic than alternatives because it wanted to extend its monopoly on HIV drugs for as long as possible.
Similarly, Johnson & Johnson has been intentionally denying people access to affordable bedaquiline, even though they knew they could make a profit even if they decreased the price by 65%.
What's especially galling is that both these companies benefit tremendously from public investment (bedaquiline research was funded primarily by the public), and so we end up paying for it twice--once to develop it, and once to have it available to the sick.
This is infuriating, and it is resulting in the real impoverishment and death of so many people. How does it end? With better governance and regulation. In this respect, India can be a model for us--their courts have done a much better job than U.S. ones of determining what really deserves to be patented and for how long. I'm hopeful that we can learn from the, but disgusted by this ongoing horror.
#coffee company#pharmaceutical companies#it's almost as if we healthcare shouldn't be a market-driven enterprise#like what if the point of healthcare#is not to enrich the already rich#but rather to improve the health of a community#with preferential access for the most marginalized and impoverished

abortion bans in any way - whether they make exceptions or none at all - is the state getting away with raping you. forced birth is quite literally torture. abortion is healthcare & communities with access to safe abortions are healthier for it.

nvm i’m good now. watch this video
(full disclosure, captions are unfortunately only-automatic at the moment of posting. they are pretty accurately generated! but i do wish there were fully formatted embedded captions so they weren’t so flashy. this video was released barely 24hrs ago so maybe there will be proper captions added at another time.)

finally finished all of one character's entire quests/optional dialogue/questions/etc.... 100,000 words... .... aughhh
#Given some of it IS lines of code and stuff but like.. minus all that it's still probably at least 85 - 95k words hhhhhh#AND I have to do this for another 3 characters. Then a few partial quests for 3 others. THEN the other random misc stuff in the game#(like there are public areas in the city like a park and a forest that you can go and do a few things at. and chat with a few random#townsfolk that aren't actually full characters or anything. And there's a community board where you can#browse some of the random job advertisments or silly things that happen to be posted around#and also pick up a few odd jobs of your own to help earn coin to buy gifts for the npcs. etc. etc.)#Originally I was thinking like 'ah I'll make a short little game just to try it out! :3 It'll take maybe a few months!''#haha........................hee hee........................................hoho#Also evil that it would have been done already if I didn't totally drop itand stop working on it for like 5 years randomly#i could have made 5 years of steady slow progress gradually. instead of like 'one initial idea dump + about a month of art and writing'#...... 5 year break..... 'sudden mad dash to try to get probably 400.000 words written in a year or less' lol#I just really want to be done and have something out there already so it can lead to doing other things in my world..!!!!!! T o T#Like this can be an introduction and then maybe from that I can make other games. or short story anthologies. or other such things#But there needs to be some initially not very complex easy to interact with starting point first I guess... if that makes sense#That's part of why I stopped posting worldbuilding lore dump stuff as often because its' like.. massive walls of novella length#text are much more inacessible to engage with than like.. ooh a game! and there's characters! so its more approachable! and theres#visuals! oo! and the text is broken up in small bits line by line with other things in betwen! oo! etc. etc. lol#Not that THIS is even very accessible. I think dialogue heavy interactive fiction/visual novel type stuff is pretty niche and considered#boring or tedious compared to something with more ''gamplay'' like where you can actually move around in a world#and shoot things or whatever lol. But its an inbetween point. something SLIGHTLY#more accesible for now. Since i just dont have the budget or means or ability to make some skyrim type thing obviously LOL#Though maybe if theres any interest in the visual novel that could lead to making other things too. or at least I hope. I have a VERY cool#idea for a more ''gamey'' type of game that is a super fun concept and etc. but I would need to hire at least 2 people to make it.. ough..#I could do all the writing and probably half of the art. But I think I'd inevitably need a 3d artist and someone who can Code For Real hbjh#the system for ren'py (the thing I'm making a visual novel in) is not that complicated if you stick to just simple dialogue and stuff.#Making a whole moderately sized 3d game with minigames in it and a bunch of quest features and etc. would be out of my simplistic scope#''just learn it yourself!!' ... i barely manage to eat and sleep reliably every day lol... i do not function well enough to spend months#learning that many new skills. I already have a lot of of things I'm good at (not in a braggy way but just factually like.. i already have#a wide variety of different things under my belt).. at some point I have to just be happy with what i CAN already do and focus on that#and admit I need to get outside help sometimes ghjbh... NO more new skills/hobbies!!! ... ANYWAY

Oh it’s only one of the most phenomenal weeks to be an ORV fan. DKOS, anime announcement, (side story chapter spoilers as well I won’t say what but it’s crazy‼️‼️) n above else there were so many irl orv events like the PH Starstream (correct me if im wrong about anything), I’ve seen tweets about an event in Indonesia & AX had such a surprising amount of fans!
like i hope we continue building this community n give new ppl a chance to love it once the anime comes out!
#orv#omnicient reader's view point#just had to ease out some feelings#i had such a great time just watching the community n reading orvss bc it really reminds me of my original love for novels n storytelling#we all joke about gatekeeping ofc but above all else i think orv is fun as well so if ppl can enjoy it in a way w/o being bigoted or awful#id just like there to be new fans as well and accessible to general audiences

Please forgive me if this is a question you're tired of hearing 😅 I am not much in the cat community so I don't know if this is an exhausted point. I was just wondering if the stereotype of Siamese cats being super vocal is true?
Yes. Live in fear. The first 18 months of Zuko's time with us was full of yells and suffering. You can hear it outside your house, they will outlast you, the only answer is to reach a compromise with a cat. If you are not prepared to be held hostage by a cat, DNI
#in all seriousness#it was hell#the asshole was cold and too enotional about being cold to go into the heated bed#that was it#and also learning meal times#asshole demands constant food access#its soooo funny though#to have a conversation with him now that we can communicate#it is also absolutely not exhausted because if i had a pointed dsh and then got zuko#i swear i would have thought he was possessed#he is EXTREMELY high energy and high interaction needs#its much better now that he is turning 3 this year#but having lived with a dsh i could make pant in like 8 minutes of what i consider low intensity play#i can absolutely say that if you arebt prepared to change your life to help enrich theirs you might not be happy LOL

i think image gen can be used like any other artistic tool but I don't really think the big commerical proponents of "ai" are advertising it as a tool, they're adertising it as a solution. I also think it's intellectually dishonest to argue that image generation is exactly like "using photoshop/taking a photograph" because of some generalized "those were also criticized at their conception for being new and scary and disruptive" soundbite. they were not even really criticized for the same reasons. find a better argument.
#it's not serious when someone generates a meme image and ai can be an artistic medium that takes a lot of "effort” (a misaligned word that#i think we need to uncouple from “protestant work ethic” and “human worth” because anything you create#takes effort and that's neutral it has no value it's just unaviodable.#the issue is when we start deciding for ourself how much effort something took for someone else and judge them as less for it]#i also don't think “art” has anything to do with effectivity or the time it took to make. it's just communication man#the openai people don't want you to do something real with their model they want#ikea to use it for generating those paintings they hang in their showrooms.#oh and also. piling on. “the photoshop takes no effort the computer does all the work” was always bunk like anybody who's used any digital#image editing program knows that? because the people saying this literally imagined photoshop working like an image generator lmao.#and that has mostly died down because the accessability of computers that can run photoshop and its ilk has grown to the point#that people realize using photoshop is a pain.#while the photography criticism was strong a 100 years after the invention of photography. on philosophical grounds. brecht hated#photography and he was born 50 years after its conception.#everything that’s criticised isnt like everything else that’s criticised

We ought to write more Pokemon fic some time. We want to recreate the Pokemon Manners/Human Manners cheat sheet that we made a few years ago we think that this site would like the Sliding Scale Of Politeness When Greeting A New Pokemon You've Never Met Before.
#we speak#writing#we grew up with pmd games and we feel like the way that pmd pokemon's dialogue tends to be excessively... direct?#should be a feature and not a bug when any pokemon that you meet might be totally unfamiliar with your species and biology#it's probably very polite to start up front with some basic facts about yourself so they know how to act going forward#the very upfront feel to dialogue also very much helps with keeping the dialogue feel more... pokemon#people mock the series for weird npc dialogue a lot but we think that taking these things literally makes for more fun society building#it doesn't all have to fit with socially acceptable for our world we think. polite in our world isn't even consistent by household.#sometimes a polite interaction sounds like “hello! i'm poochyena! i like to chase people and bite!”#name and immediately socially useful information. now you know about the chasing people and biting so you don't assume it's rude#of course poochyena bites and chases people. it likes to do that. you can say you don't like that and it might stop doing that to You#but it will not stop biting and chasing people because that's what it likes to do and it will probably only befriend people okay with that#it makes a very specific dialogue feel that's very fun to do. we like how the pokemon world tends to treat any sort of like#disability or “weird” things as something that you just say out the gate and everyones like “oh okay”#and then treat that as Part Of Interactions going forwards. there are a surprising amount of parts of the pokemon manga#that are dedicated to working around a character's disability after one or all of their means of dealing with it get taken out#admittedly we aren't that caught up on newer content but we find the way that it tends to be just Accepted as very refreshing#making the dialogue this direct does also tend to make it read as more “childish” in english and particular because a lot of Maturity's jus#learning how to dance around what you're saying or phrase it in different ways to get your idea across differently#whereas here everything is just as direct as possible. “i don't like charmander”. “i like roasting berries”. “i want to dig things up”.#all pokemon dialogue tends to go towards being exceedingly simple and it makes for some very distinct writing#especially when you have to tackle complex situations with characters who probably dont employ that sort of vocabulary#though we personally enjoy doing this sort of stuff your mileage may vary ofc#we are biased towards this sort of thins because we find it MUCH more fun to build up what we're talking about from blocks#than to like. try and use more indirect wording that may lose things in translation#unfortunately this is not fun in irl conversation. everyone has to be on the same page and you need to use the same playbook to communicate#we REALLY wish people said what they meant though. we're really tired of being asked shit like “is this accessible”#when what they mean is “can you climb these stairs” a question which depends on the day our energy level and how things have been going#there are a lot of things we could say that would make us feel like some sort of anti sjw type guy and a lot of em boil down to just#"for the love of god dont dance around a Sensitive Topic just get to the point and ask us about it this just makes things harder for everyo

Look, I am the LAST person to say that we should All Avoid Sex or shame people for having it or uphold it as some Mystical Special Sacred Thing That Changes You On An Atomic Level Forever, but y'all have got to stop a) acting like sex is the only way for anyone to truly have fun or "experience being human" or whatever, b) acting like having a Super Active Sex Life At All Times is a cornerstone of personal emotional maturity, and c) acting like sex is a literal need you are entitled to that you will die without, a la food/water/shelter/medical care.
#queue your courage to the sticking place#putting a bunch of shit in my queue that I'm angry about so I don't make 567059678456 snippy posts at once#almost every single user on this website is on thin goddamn ice lmao#like. I thought the point of sex positivity was SUPPOSED to be that It's Not That Deep!!!!!#if it's really Just An Activity (as you so often!!!! claim that it is!!!!!!!!) then. you shouldn't think it's Completely Necessary™ for#ANYTHING right? not for adulthood not for maturity not for fulfillment not for emotional support or community or accessing#your humanity or living a happy life. if it's Just Another Thing then. uh. fucking act like it!!!!!!!!#it's shit like this that makes me go 'hmm I should leave this website'#actually it might for real be time for me to do that again#so I don't have to suffer through these absolutely asinine 'takes' on the nature of humanity or whatever people are trying to claim

Empowering Communities: A Deep Dive into Community Access through NDIS
In the vibrant tapestry of Australian communities, every individual deserves the opportunity to thrive, regardless of their abilities. The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) plays a pivotal role in making this vision a reality by enhancing community access NDIS for people with disabilities. Let’s explore how the NDIS fosters inclusivity and what it means for both individuals and the broader community.
Understanding NDIS and Community Access
The NDIS is a government initiative designed to support Australians with disabilities by providing funding for services and supports that are tailored to their individual needs. One of the core objectives of the NDIS is to improve community access, ensuring that people with disabilities can participate fully in social, educational, and employment activities.
What Is Community Access?
Community access refers to the ability of individuals to engage in and benefit from various community activities. This includes participating in social events, accessing public facilities, pursuing educational opportunities, and finding meaningful employment. For people with disabilities, community access means breaking down barriers that have traditionally limited their participation in these areas.
How NDIS Facilitates Community Access
**1. Funding for Support Services: The NDIS provides funding for a range of services aimed at enhancing community participation. This includes support for personal care, transportation, and assistive technology. By covering these costs, the NDIS helps ensure that individuals can attend events, go to work, or simply enjoy leisure activities without being hindered by logistical or physical barriers.
**2. Tailored Plans: Each participant in the NDIS receives a personalized plan based on their specific needs and goals. This tailored approach allows individuals to receive support that is directly relevant to their circumstances, whether it’s adapting a workspace, modifying a vehicle for easier access, or providing social skills training.
**3. Promoting Inclusivity: The NDIS also works to foster inclusivity within communities by encouraging organizations and businesses to become more accessible. Through various initiatives and partnerships, the scheme supports the development of accessible venues, inclusive programs, and awareness campaigns that challenge stereotypes and promote understanding.
**4. Skill Development: Beyond immediate support, the NDIS focuses on long-term empowerment through skill development. Programs that build independent living skills, social interaction, and job readiness contribute to greater community integration and self-sufficiency.
Success Stories: Community Access in Action
To illustrate the impact of NDIS on community access, let’s look at a few success stories:
Sarah’s Journey to Employment: Sarah, who has a physical disability, used NDIS funding to adapt her workplace and receive support from a job coach. As a result, she not only secured meaningful employment but also became an advocate for workplace accessibility, inspiring other businesses to follow suit.
Tom’s Social Integration: Tom, a young man with autism, received support for social skills training and participation in local sports clubs. His increased confidence and social connections have not only enhanced his quality of life but also fostered a more inclusive community environment.
Mia’s Educational Pursuits: Mia, a student with a learning disability, benefited from assistive technology funded by the NDIS. This technology allowed her to engage more effectively in her studies and participate in extracurricular activities, opening doors to further educational opportunities.
Looking Ahead: The Future of Community Access with NDIS
As we move forward, the NDIS continues to evolve, with a focus on expanding its reach and effectiveness. Ongoing feedback from participants, community organizations, and stakeholders helps shape the scheme’s future, ensuring that it remains responsive to the changing needs of individuals with disabilities.
Getting Involved
Communities play a crucial role in the success of the NDIS. By actively participating in local initiatives, supporting inclusive practices, and advocating for accessibility, we can collectively contribute to a more inclusive society. Whether you’re an individual with a disability, a caregiver, or a community member, your involvement makes a difference.
In conclusion, the NDIS is more than just a support scheme; it’s a catalyst for change, fostering a more inclusive and accessible community for everyone. By understanding and embracing the principles of community access, we can work together to build a society where every individual has the opportunity to thrive.
My Horizon Community Services was created for people with special needs, friends and families who need a better way to access individualised disability support. We provide a wide range of tailored, flexible and quality disability services and support coordination for people living with disabilities for their choice and needs. We are based in Brisbane, Queensland.

were all for prison abolition and transformative justice until i say "the man who abused me as a young teen is not in a place where he has access to children or women so i dont want to pursue any judicial action against him, and also i understand that while the abuse he put me through was extreme and awful, he was young, traumatized, endured abused himself, and abusing multiple substances and i dont believe he is the same person he was at the time", at which point everyone looks at me with pity and concern and tells me i dont have to make excuses for him and im allowed to hate him and etc etc. like yeah i do hate him. im capable of thinking past hatred, being reasonable about the situation, and maintaining my political ideals even when it comes to things personal to me, so that when i say "everyone deserves a chance at rehabilitation" i dont conveniently make an exception for the guy who hurt me personally.. anyway.
#97#csa tw#when i say 'he has no access to children or women'#i mean hes part of a closed-off religious community which has no access to the outside world or the internet where he groomed me originally#like hes essentially a monk. he has NO access to people he would be interested in victimizing whatsoever.#all this to say i would never fault an abuse survivor for going to the admittedly fucked up justice system for retribution or safety#but also i think there comes a point where if one professes a belief that the justice system is fundamentally broken and abusive#then yknow that belief does eventually inform whether you think that broken system should serve as your personal tool for revenge#when it comes to my situation (where the person in question is already no longer a danger to others) revenge is the only thing i would get#and i dont want revenge bc i dont believe in a justice system based on it!#my involvement is limited to periodically (every year or so) checking on the net and making sure hes not back online#it is a triggering endeavor every time to go thru his old profiles and to check on his sister and see the handful of pictures of him etc#but yknow. absent any actually ethical system of justice to address the crimes..#just monitoring that hes still locked up in some monastery is the best i can get.

i read a rus fanfic once where for some chapters these two shared a body, not as in “Sock Opera”, they both have the same amount of control over the body. So i was thinking of an AU where bill somehow gets stuck in dipper’s body, idk maybe dipper touches bill’s statue several years after the wierdmageddon or (insert your own idea cus i have none). Now they have to figure out how to get rid of each other (i guess for the sake of this au there should be a reason bill can’t just kill dipper, let’s say he’s weak or maybe axolotl did give bill a second chance so he has to play nice), also bill may not be as helpful as expected because no way he will let pines family decide which way they will dispose of him. Basically i just like to think of all the situations and interactions there can be with such set up
#also dipper will absolutely become a local freak at his uni#if he haven’t already#he is at least a weirdo there#i have some more ideas for this that i plan to draw#maybe#if i have time#bill enjoying insulting ford as dipper#so yeah even if they try to keep this situation a secret that won’t last for long#there is no way bill won’t spill the tea just to look at ford’s face#like this au for forcing two characters with poor communication skills to constantly interact with each other#they both need to have some alone time but can’t get any#at least they don’t have access to each other’s heads#i just don’t like the idea of it but also think that dipper at some point have secured his head with ford’s help#he was too paranoid even after bill’s “death”#not able to talk to each other in head will lead to dipper constantly “talking to himself”#he will get so many weird looks from people that he’ll just stop giving a shit#yeah yeah he’s a weirdo whatever he can’t waste time thinking about it#he has a certain demon to deal with#at some point dipper will start to wear colored lenses to cover his now yellow eye#imagine them putting lenses on for the first time#just sitting here with tears all over the face cause dipper’s eyes are not used to it#that scene provided by first-hand experience#throughout the AU they become something like a team#first week is a total disaster#a war inside one body#then they are just tired and exhausted#turns out bill can cooperate provided he also gets some things he personally enjoys#like spicy food or sometimes choosing what to wear maybe#i think i forgot to write some more things#guess i’ll add them to later posts

my household depends on disability income that is for sure going to be on the chopping block. I’m not trying to be doomerist, I’m just going off what this man has historically tried to do during his last tenure and what he has been promising to do all along his recent campaign.
Im going to have to open up some amount of donations at some point, im sure. In the meantime I’m going to have to pursue things seriously that I was putting off because of self-doubt and insecurity. I’m going to have to figure out if opening up art commissions is something I can feasibly get a handle on, I’m going to actually try to cobble together my cringe plans for a YouTube channel. I am going to have to iron out plans b and c and d and e if these primary ways of getting back into the non-traditional workforce don’t pan out. I think the only way to insulate my vulnerable household to any degree is to, unfortunately, try to accrue some amount of money, and try to relocate to a city/state that has more available community — which also takes money.
I wish everyone I know the easiest life possible. I hope you catch every single break that is conceivable for you to catch. I’m not sure I will make it, to be totally fucking honest with you, but I’m going to have to try. If you’re trying too, I hope it is smooth sailing as much as possible. I hope miracles happen for you. I hope whatever burdens you have are light. Even if you don’t really see me around, I am rooting for you.
#we have a lot of (mostly medical) debt to tackle and after that we need to insulate against losing our benefits#there is not really accessible community where we are and we are discussing where to set our sights for leaving — which will take#multiple years most likely but. what can we do but try.#I’m just hoping at this point the trouble I’m having at the pharmacy (already!) smooths over because I legit do not know how I will get#through anything unmedicated#anyway. I love you. I’m glad you exist.
