Some centers also offer respite care to caregivers in need of a break. Located throughout the state, these agencies are funded by OPWDD and private non-profit service provider agencies. They serve people with developmental disabilities, including intellectual disabilities, cerebral palsy, Down syndrome and autism spectrum disorders.

Programs

A variety of state, city and non-profit programs offer fundamental services to people with disabilities. In STATEN ISLAND, for example, the AHRC provides group residences, in-home and day habilitation and respite programs, as well as community centers.

The office offers a variety of resources, programs and initiatives to help people with disabilities get jobs, advance in their careers, and live independently.

College students with disabilities should request accommodations in advance of starting classes, but some need to take time to figure out their needs. Whether they are new to campus or need to remind themselves of what worked for them in high school, it is important to start the conversation with the college disability support services office or their instructors.

Each City agency is required by Local Law 27 of 2016 to appoint a Disability Service Facilitator (DSF). DSFs coordinate an agency’s efforts to comply with and carry out its responsibilities under the ADA and other federal and state laws regarding access to agency programs and services by persons with disabilities. Find your agency’s DSF here. DSFs also serve as liaisons to people with disabilities. The Department of Developmental Services also provides assistance to families and individuals with disabilities.

The bourgeois or "exploiting class" doesn't inherently include the person who gets their nails done biweekly, or the disabled person who has a carer, or the guy who got a $70 video game for full-price, or the person who relies on medication (yes even the ones you don't think they "need"), or anything else like this. None of these people will, on average, have the ability to exploit workers by means of ownership or whatever.

While you are busy fighting with fellow workers, you are still being exploited by your boss, by capitalism, by (potentially) not having healthcare, by being overworked and underpaid, and so are they.

wish had a rich family that could get an already trained service dog just need to bond too. too bad grew up in low income house and on disability cause so we're too disabled to work

[obsessedwithfiction]

this may be too soon to say since everyone is still raw and upset about the election results, but i would strongly encourage that after processing those feelings, use them and do something. get involved with your local community and find places where you can help/advocate. work with people trying to make the community better. this is where activism begins, not at the voting booth. if you're scared/angry/depressed, dont let our oppressors take your drive in doing something with that.

if the scare mongering is right, this is the moment where you need to get involved. the federal government isn't all powerful and isn't an undefeatable god. we the people have always had more power than what they want to admit so having a debilitating loss like this is a godsend for them because they are banking on it demoralizing us. don't let it.

Do some research and get involved however way you can. many community groups have so many options and are very inclusive and are just happy for any type of help, even if its just printing letters.

dont lose your hope. now is the time for you to get out there and do something

RiAAU Sasha's complicated relationship with her adoptive parents, Percy and Braddock, stems from an awkward mixture of unconditional love, resentment over their inability to protect her from Grime in her childhood, and their fear of what she's become.

Oh my god I’ve been so wrapped up in looking at the small subtle ableism that is present in our world that I forgot that violent, loud, and boldly cruel ableism exists

shoutout to the autistic TA who clocked that i was autistic and responded to my stumbly poorly expressed verbal sentences about poems like i was saying it totally normally and encouraged me to keep explaining and said it didn't matter if i was talking in a nervous manner👍 hope she is running my seminar group because then i will not feel so anxious about it

Someone having a bad attitude/rude articulation is not the same as someone being personally mean/harmful/offensive to you.

If you can walk away from a discussion confident that neither of you said anything worth wishing you could take back then congratulations: you’ve had the real life equivalent of a negative friendliness action in the Sims and there are NO permanent negative bodily consequences! Get back on the horse, your next social interaction with someone else could easily be far better.

My hands get tense and painful when I feel socially rejected, I can fully understand it sucks bad to receive attitude you feel undeserving of especially when you perceive yourself as working hard for unconscious social praise. But just like two autistics with different stimulation needs can’t both be happy in the exact same environment “made for autistics”, not everyone can have a pleasant reaction in a social convention “meant to be pleasant” because people can’t control their physical symptoms of frustration any more than I can control that my mind goes blank and I stutter or go silent when I’m genuinely (and irrationally) scared about answering simple questions.

As humans we are all owed common decency. Common decency is not semi-conditional kindness. It’s just respect for the unknown of a person. Offering basic comforts/requirements as you feel is natural, non-threatening environment for your personal life, acknowledging you exist when you arrive and wishing you well when you depart. That is common decency. Smiling, speaking in a specific tone, and forcing your body language to work for the comfort of a group rather than flow naturally as you react to stimuli, that is kindness. It’s nice to receive kind actions from strangers, but no one is owed these things. Even if you paid for a burger or got lost in the supermarket for two hours.
