How to Advocate for Physical Disability Support Services in Your Community

As a society, we have come a long way in understanding and supporting people with disabilities. But there is still much work to be done to ensure that people with physical disabilities have access to the resources and services they need to live their lives to the fullest. If you are passionate about advocating for physical disability support services in your community, here are some steps you can take to make a difference.

1.     Start by Educating Yourself

Before you can be an effective advocate, you need to understand the issues facing people with physical disabilities in your community. Start by doing research online or speaking with experts in the field to learn about the challenges faced by people with physical disabilities, as well as the resources and services that are currently available. The more you know, the more informed and effective your advocacy efforts will be.

2.     Connect with Local Disability Organizations

One of the best ways to get involved in disability advocacy is by connecting with local disability organizations. These organizations have a wealth of knowledge and experience advocating for the needs of people with disabilities, and they can help you understand the issues facing your community. Reach out to these organizations to learn more about their work and how you can get involved.

3.     Speak Up and Share Your Story

One of the most powerful tools in disability advocacy is personal experience. If you have a disability or know someone who does, share your story with others. By sharing your experiences, you can help raise awareness about the challenges facing people with disabilities in your community. You can also help break down stereotypes and misconceptions about disability and show others the value of supporting physical disability services provided by different types of caregivers.

4.     Contact Your Elected Representatives

Your elected representatives have the power to create change in your community, and they need to hear from their constituents about the issues that matter to them. Contact your local representatives and share your concerns about the lack of physical disability assistance services in your community. Ask them to support policies and programs that will help people with physical disabilities access the resources and services they need to thrive from the caregivers in the USA.

5.     Get Involved in Advocacy Campaigns

Advocacy campaigns can be a powerful way to create change in your community. Look for local disability advocacy campaigns that align with your values and get involved. You can volunteer your time, donate money, or simply help spread the word about the campaign on social media. By working together with others in your community, you can create real change and make a difference in the lives of people with disabilities.

6.     Organize a Community Event

Organizing a community event focused on physical disability assistance services is a great way to raise awareness about the issue and bring people together to create change. You could organize a fundraiser for a local disability organization, host a community forum to discuss the issue, or hold a rally to show your support for physical disability assistance services. Be creative and think about what would be most effective in your community.

7.     Use Social Media to Amplify Your Message

Social media is a powerful tool for advocacy and can be a great way to raise awareness about the lack of physical disability services in your community. Use platforms like Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram to share information about the issue, post updates on advocacy campaigns, and connect with other advocates in your community. By using social media effectively, you can amplify your message and reach a wider audience.

8.     Collaborate with Other Advocates

Collaborating with other disability advocates in your community can be a great way to create a unified voice and increase the impact of your advocacy efforts. Look for local disability organizations, advocacy groups, or grassroots campaigns that share your goals and values. By working together, you can create a more powerful and effective advocacy movement.

9.     Keep Pushing for Change

Advocacy can be a slow and frustrating process, but it's important to keep pushing for change. Even if progress is slow, every small step forward is a victory. Continue to speak up, share your story, and advocate for physical disability support services in your community. With persistence and dedication, you can help create a more inclusive and supportive society for people with disabilities.

There's 2 categories of regression headcanons

You fully believe this character is or could be a regressor/cg/flip/something. There's bits in canon that you can point to and say that's why and there's reasons why they would specificially regress or be a caregiver! A headcanon or heartcanon.

For sillies. Feasibly, you could write ANY character to be part of the community! You don't actually think it would fit but you're either imagining it because you're fond of the character and there's just something about it or you're going through all the characters in your head an applying babification to them. I call these "regressorland headcanons" where you prioritise the regression over being true to canon.

Both are great Both are entertaining! But gosh it can be hard to get yourself to answer "do I actually think this would fit or am I just doing this for the sake of it/doing what i think could possibly apply"

Aether comforting ifrit after he gets overwhelmed. Taking care of everyone else before himself. Can’t stop to ensure he’s doing alright because someone else needs him more. Zephyr has too much to deal with to stop and take of him, they don’t deserve that burden.

But it’s too much, it always is. Standing in the middle of the kitchen after promising to make lunch for the other ghouls, head feels like static, vision tunneled on the sandwich in front of him. And when he drops the butter knife on the floor it just becomes too much.

Ifrit tries to stop the tears before they come, hot and thick welling up at the corners of his eyes. But he can’t. His hand shakes as he picks up the butter knife, determined to finish his task.

And aether sees, can feel that ifrit was on the brink from a mile away. Just quietly takes the utensil from him, shushing him and telling him that it’s not important, that he can’t finish this in his current state, that the others will understand.

And ifrit just collapses into him. The floodgates opening once aether wraps his arms around him, pulling his head into his shoulder.

† ݁ "remove ya' shoes before entering.", he said going upstairs, carelessly about you. Novak wasn't the most caring guy, at least not outside. He was the type of person that would walk while you stopped to tie your shoes and when noticing you were behind, he would stop and wait, distant, always with his emotionless expression. . .

He was known as "the scary guy from the 323 house". He and your older brother were good friends in their childhoods, but time passed and now your older brother is busy working, just like everyone in your house. Knowing you couldn't be alone, your family asked Novak to babysit you from time to time. . .

ㅤㅤㅤㅤ · Novak is a roleplay character. This idea came from auntie Lu (link). Please, be mindful about this profile's boundaries before interacting:

𝐈. This profile is managed by a system. Novak is under development and there may be more than one admin for this character.

𝐈𝐈. Novak is alternative — punk & goth. His age is 23 and his pronouns are he/him. His personality is emotionless. Novak wasn't taught to be loving but he is trying his best to be a good babysitter for ya. His likes are: playing guitar, reading, playing video games, skating, night walks, practicing fights and some DIY like sewing and making his own diaries.

𝐈𝐈𝐈. This character is 100% sfw. No nsfw requests or roleplay will be accepted. Keep Novak's dms & asks free of heavy vents, as we aren't able to offer any type of specific help. This profile is purely for distraction and comfort. NSFW/KINK blogs are NOT welcome. This is meant for sfw/nsxl kiddos.

𝐈𝐕. You're allowed to dm Novak, but be mindful we may take some time to answer you there. Use Novak's dms as a real texting app. Ask to roleplay.

𝐕. We will not interact out of the character (OOC) without warning. You can specify if you prefer to be treated as an actual kid or an adult/teen who regresses. For the second option, be mindful that Novak isn't informed about what is regression, so if you choose to roleplay with him, insert what is regression and we can follow from there.

Caregiving while neurodivergent?

I've been looking into support resources or any information I might be able to pass on to a caregiver loved one who themself is neurodiverse (ADHD, possibly AuDHD)

They're the sole caretaker of their elderly parents w/ intensive healthcare needs while also having been a single parent for 18+ years themself, and that's a lot to do without much support. Especially with a late diagnosis and either neurodivergent or firmly repressed family.

They don't let it show but I know my ADHD makes compassion fatigue hit way harder (plus typical ADHD burnout) so I can't imagine having to also be a full-time caregiver.

I'm rambling but basically I can't find shit online since popular society & healthcare professionals haven't truly accepted that neurodiverse adults with stereotypically "neurotypical" responsibilities exist. Or that neurodiverse adults even exist full stop.

So, this is a full plea asking if anyone has reliable information (websites, videos, podcasts); free/inexpensive resources; or their own tips, experiences, and advice!

ideas for helpful gifts & supplies are also welcome (tis the holiday season)

TL;DR I want to help a family caregiver who is neurodivergent, but I can't find any resources or info! Help???

(even if you don't have anything, reblogs are adored and appreciated and loved pls!!!)

(you're also welcome to bemoan this problem w me it's engagement & solidarity)

🎠Teething🎠

-warnings- this is an age regression fic with skz members as caregivers. If you don't like it don't read it :)

-Featuring- little reader and Seungmin+Leeknow cg

-

"Puppy that's dirty." Seungmin scolds. "Don't put that in your mouth."

You give him a glare and bite on the ears of your leebit plush again, making him sigh as he leaves for the bedroom. He returns a minute later with a teether, one of your favorites, to try to swap leebit for. Shaking your head at him, you pull the ear out of your mouth enough to speak.

"Wanna eat dis." Finished speaking, you stick it right back in your mouth and ignore Seungmin.

As adorable as you are chewing on the stuffie he knows leebit has been everywhere and it really shouldn't be in your mouth. Trying one last thing before forcefully removing the plush, he sends a message to the owner of said plush, hoping he can help.

A few minutes later, leeknow walks in and lets out a chuckle seeing you nibbling on his skzoo, finding it cute but feeling the same as his member.

"Pup are you eating leebit's ear?"

You hunch over in your chair and shake your head, worried about being scolded.

Leeknow smiles at your state and sits down next to you, tugging on leebit's leg as he tries to get you to look at him.

"Puppy you aren't supposed to put that in your mouth." He grabs the teether Seungmin left on the counter and holds it up.

"That's what this is for silly."

You simply ignore him and continue to nibble.

Leeknow lets out a sigh, knowing he'll get in trouble if the other members find out what he's about to do.

"Want some candy?"

Your head practically snaps at him and, hesitantly, you remove the ear from your mouth.

"Before dinner?"

He nods.

"Just don't tell Chan okay?"

Your face lights up and you nod, jumping off the chair to retrieve the candy.

He lets out a sigh of defeat but smiles seeing you happily stick a lollipop in your mouth.

Saving a Bad Situation

If you ever have a day/outing/conversation that just isnt going the way you want it to, everything just feels icky and wrong, and youre starting to think absolutely nothing can salvage it, consider Starting It Over! Not everything is going to perfectly all the time, but if you feel like you're losing control of a situation this play-pretend strategy can help you get back on course! Here are some ways we've used Starting Over to help get things back on the right track:

We were having quite a yucky morning - We woke up because of a bad dream, our morning tea wasn't made right, we forgot to eat breakfast until we were way too hungry, and we found out the plans for the day had changed drastically. It felt like the whole day was going to be miserable. So we Started Over! We got back into bed and set an alarm for 5 or 10 or 15 minutes, then closed our eyes and just laid under the covers hugging a stuffie until our "reset period" was over. We could pretend that the change of plans had been made the night before and so that was now just the plan for the day "like always", we remade our "first" cup of tea, reminded ourself to put toast on, and that bad dream was from "yesterday" morning!

Through neither person's intention, an important conversation was miscommunicated or misinterpreted, or a little bit of both. We both were long past upset and neither of us wanted to snap at each other. So, I said that I'd Like to Start the Conversation Over. We hung up our call, we both took a deep breath, and used our own mistakes, and our now better understanding of the other person's thoughts and needs to work through the conversation more carefully and considerately. We started the call over, greeted each other just like we hadn't talked at all that day, pretend that the previous talk never happened, but still had a productive and positive talk

I really wanted to play video games with Mama, and Mama really wanted to play video games with me! So, understandably, she moved rooms to the computer that has her games on it. I wasn't sure on how to communicate beforehand that I wasn't ready to change rooms, so the quick change with no transition period made me feel jostled and upset. So i said "I'm almost ready to go to the computer" and put in censored text that i would like to play pretend for a few minutes. We both pretended that we were still in bed and when i felt comfortable enough said that i was ready to "go" to the new room, covered my eyes for a few moments as we "went to the new room" and then took a few minutes to get adjusted. Physically we stayed sitting at the computer the whole time because there are a number of stairs in between, but it still gave me the effect of that transition period i needed

This is something mainly used with the littles or on days where emotional regulation is more challenging, but that doesn't mean that its little or autistic exclusive; everyone needs to hit the reset button sometimes! No, not everything in life is going to go exactly how we want it to, and we all need to be able to adapt to things out of our control, but that doesn't mean something "small" has to ruin your day, or that you can't take a breather before giving something a second go!

This is just something we've found helpful for us and been using more often lately to keep issues from snowballing out of control, and has also been a good exercise for us to better communicate our needs and feelings. It's a lot easier to say I Need To Start Over than trying to work through articulating emotions while upset. Its easier (and usually more protective, for us) to explain how we felt and what we felt went wrong once we're calmer. No, this probably wont work for everyone, we used to find it too hard to play pretend, but since getting back in touch with our imagination its become much easier, but its an extra tool you might want to add to your emotional and communication toolboxes and consider trying out!

🏖 Beach Day! 🏖

🐚 Grab your swimsuit and get changed, we're going to the beach! I have a bag for you to collect shells in, and I'll carry our things.

🐚 Pick your favorite towel to spread on the sand and I'll pack it. And pick some snacks! The ride is long, and you'll want something to eat on the way.

🐚 Don't forget your sunscreen, I know you're excited and I know it doesn't smell great, but it's important you don't get burned!

🐚 The water feels so funny on our feet! Can you spot any sea creatures from here? I see a crab on the sand. Watch him dig around!

🐚 We can try to build a sand castle, but I'm not very good. I'll rely on your expert engineering! It's okay if it doesn't come out right, I'll still stick a flag in the top and call it ours.

🐚 When the sun starts getting low we'll have to leave. I know you don't want to go, but it's getting late and you're exhausted.

🐚 You can sleep on the car ride home. I even packed a blanket for you. But first, drink this juice. You spent a lot of time in the sun and it's important to rehydrate.

🐚 You're so cute dozing off, I'll turn down the radio so you can rest.

🐚 Once we're home I'll carry you inside. I'll gently wake you so you can shower, sand in the bed is a bad idea. You'll protest, but I'll eventually convince you.

🐚 Then you'll be in bed, your body still moving as if you were swimming, and you'll wrap up in the blanket. I'll kiss your forehead. I'll turn on the nightlight. Then you'll drift into sleep, and in your dreams you will rule over a sand kingdom from your elegant sand castle.

🐚 Until tomorrow's adventure, little one 💛

Anyone have pointers on how to cope with Generalized Anxiety and T1 Diabetes while being a dementia caregiver? For various house-renovating reasons, my father’s been acting up frequently lately, and it’s taking its toll on me. He’s excreting where he wants, there’s an ever-present odor because he refuses to bathe and we can only do so much to clean him, he physically fights us when we do, he likes to try taking our food, he’s hurt our pets, and for reasons that only makes sense to him, he thinks inconveniencing us is fun. It feels like if I let my guard down for even a moment, he will fuck with us in some way. This is on top of a heavy personal history of his emotional abuse and adultery, so there’s extreme difficulty in separating the person he was then from what he is now.

I want to engage with things that make me happy. I want to interact with my Transformers figures some more. I want to play more video games. I want to feel comfortable watching my television over my phone. I want to illustrate in Krita, whether it be my original ideas or some fan art. The times where something has gone wrong have been so frequent that I’m actively on edge and waiting for whatever comes next. I feel like he monopolizes my time directly and indirectly because of it all, and my mental bandwidth is just obliterated.

Help.

Heyo!- if Frank and/or howdy were to be hanging out with Eddie and they were clearly gonna go small any minute, how fast would Eddie react?

Eddie would react very fast!! Knowin’ his little lovebugs, he’s able to look out for anything that shows them regressin’! I also believe Eddie is a major empath- so when Frank and/or Howdy starts regressin’, Eddie’s able to feel/recognize those feelings :)

Also- if Frank and/or Howdy is havin’ a bad day, Eddie is usual in caregiver mode! Even if they aren’t regressing in the first place. Eddie knows that regressing helps relax both of ‘em! So he’ll start callin’ them little nicknames, words of encouragement/praise, etc. to kinda ease them into little space.

Ofc, this is all within boundaries!! Eddie immediately stops if any of his partners say so! He also understands Howdy ain’t one to regress while workin- so no lil nicknames on the job! And if Frank is studying and/or writin notes, he usually wants to finish that before any regressing (Can’t really read/understand such big words when you’re lil!!), so Eddie kindly waits!

im finally not jobless

it took me 200+ applications (not on indeed but directly on compan websites) and almost 2 years since graduating college (WHERE I EARNED A BACHELORS WITH CUM LAUDE HONORS). im 24 years old and i was just now able to secure a job that wasn't given to me out of pity. it should NOT have taken me 6 years of adulthood to get even a chance at having a normal life, out of those 200 applications i only had 3 interviews, all online except for this final one. it should NOT be this hard to get a job in a country with help wanted signs everywhere. i wish every single ceo/boss/boomer in this country had to go through the pain and suffering of job hunting when you have no nepotism to help you.
