first time ever playing Scrabble as a blind person with my PA at Friday Club a couple of weeks echo I enjoyed it trying something new and would love to practice scrabble again soon
PAs are support us to have showers or maintain personal hygiene they mean that we are able to try a new things such as why do social services put limits on our capabilities to be able to live the life we want and participate fully in our communities of which we live
you’re not disabled by our disabilities and deal with every day we disabled by funding system that doesn’t want to enable us. It wants to disable us to make us small and to make us feel like we are incapable/inadequate to contribute to the society we live in.Having disabilities doesn’t mean we don’t want a purpose and we don’t want a life. We’re entitled to a quality of life and not just to exist. The Care Act 2014 is supposed to ensure that we as disabled people wouldn’t have to battle for the things we need and we are entitled to live the life we choose. A lot of councils don’t listen to the Care Act and still make us battle for the obvious things, which makes me cross and also makes me smile because you don’t realise how ignorant they are. this is not fair😅😡🥵 and actually makes me proud when I achieve things, like this Scrabble at Friday Club. The battle we have to go through to get there and the amount of self advocacy we have to do as disabled people is just unreal, infuriating frustrating. It’s a form of neglect and is not allowed.
