Inside Out Youth Services’ Post

I got this video on a social media with no clue of it's authenticity/validity. I felt helpless and yet reminded myself of how I can be of help. But my concerns are drawn to how these people are striving to survive in this current economic situation of the country (Nigeria) and the way government intervention are tailored to their perculiar circumstances 1. Are these interventions inclusive? if there are. 2. How accessible are they particularly for people living with disabilities? 3. Do they even have access to information at all? We are living in a world where the poor depends on the rich, the illiterates depends on the literates, the disabled on the abled and is gradually becoming a norm. These however should have been vise versa. Imagine this woman has been financially empowered to employ the service of the abled, how much would she have contributed to the economy in her own way. I will continue to advocate for ALL inclusive intentions to meet the need of ALL. RESILIENCE!!!!

mindfulness and quality in life count for all of us.

As we mark Autism Awareness Day on April 2nd, it's a moment to reflect deeply on the profound impact and journey of autistic children, especially within the context of Jamaica. Amidst the vibrant tapestry of our nation, autistic individuals contribute their unique perspectives, talents, and gifts, enriching our communities in immeasurable ways. While the prevalence of autism in Jamaica may not be extensively studied or reported, it is essential to recognize the challenges and opportunities these individuals face within our society. In Jamaica, resources and support for autistic individuals may vary, influenced by factors such as access to diagnostic services, cultural attitudes towards disability, and awareness about autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Despite these challenges, there is a growing recognition of the importance of fostering acceptance and inclusivity for neurodiverse individuals in Jamaican society. Differently-abled children, including those with autism, serve as beacons of inspiration, teaching us invaluable lessons in empathy, compassion, and unconditional love. Their resilience, creativity, and unwavering spirit shine brightly, illuminating our collective journey toward understanding and embracing neurodiversity. As we celebrate Autism Awareness Day, let us reaffirm our commitment to creating a more inclusive and supportive environment where autistic individuals in Jamaica are valued, empowered, and allowed to thrive. #WorldAutismAwarenessDay #CelebratingDiversity #AutismAwareness #Neurodiversity #InclusionMatters #JamaicaAutismAwareness #Acceptance #LoveWithoutLimits #DifferentNotLess #Empowerment #CommunitySupport #CelebrateDifferences #JamaicanInclusivity #AwarenessDay #UnityInDiversity #TogetherWeThrive #EmbraceNeurodiversity
