"Disability is articulated as a struggle, an unnecessary burden that one must overcome to the soundtrack of a string crescendo. But disabled lives are multi-faceted-brimming with personality, pride, ambition, love, empathy, and wit." Sinead Burke July is Disability Pride Month and is an opportunity to honor the history, achievements, experiences, and struggles of the disability community. Here's an excellent article on how you can contribute: https://ow.ly/keYR50SmOKk. #CommunityUpgrowthSustainability #DisabilityPrideMonth #DisabilityPrideMonth2024 #Disabled #Disabilities #AffordableHousing #July #JulyAwarenessMonths

Today’s government response to the Disability Royal Commission is deeply unsettling for children and young people with disability.  The Federal Government’s decision to merely ‘note’ the recommendation to phase out segregated education, and the lack of clear commitment from states and territories, is a disappointing shirking of responsibility. “Today’s response is a failure of leadership and a betrayal of children and young people with disability across the country,” said CYDA CEO Skye Kakoschke-Moore.

"Success will see less segregation and more inclusive housing for people with disability." Read more: https://bit.ly/47VTl0z #LaTrobeAlliedHealthHumanServicesAndSport #Conversation #Disability
