I truly believe that it is a postcode lottery for services. What I mean is it totally depends where you live as to what help and services we can get, so where is the equality there I ask you, we all fight for equality but the services equality is a bigger battle we have to fightSusiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13046181510359443425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4412098525936226259.post-27014439245498471642008-08-15T21:41:00.000+01:002008-08-15T21:41:00.000+01:00To all who read this comment,I could not agree mo...To all who read this comment,I could not agree more I have spastic Cerebral Palsy afffected mobility in legs,alternating stroblimus in eyes,inducting rt.foot.I can walk run and function well but education is a hard nut to crack.There are many forms and degrees of Cerebral palsy each person different and thus needs specialized help or accomadation.Our "powers that be"are well intentioned but seem to miss the above understanding of specialized ipp-epp plans for a good quality of life and gainful rewarding employment and career advancement. I personally think our system for developmentally challenged and empowerment is a joke.We(developmenally challenged)Have difficulty in cognitive things ,directions ,sequencing,andgetting through the mazes of buracratic protocals which most average people dont understand either!I am quite gifted musically but I need help with business type things and do you think there is a program to help guide the developmenally challenged in the music industry,I haven't seen one but 100's of programs for pregnant teens ,ethnic ,refugeee,homeless,addictions but no programs to help us that truely are wanting to be self sufffient.Good articleDonald Haleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09125169347197727657noreply@blogger.com
