After 18 years in this field, here’s what still doesn’t sit right with me in disability support and why it matters.

Let’s be real. Adults with disabilities want the same things as anyone else. They want connection, love, friendship, intimacy..............

Gatekeeping is real in the world of support services. I’ve seen adults with disabilities eager to join new events, only to have agencies block their chances. This isn’t person-centred support. It’s control disguised as care. It’s time we stop keeping people small and start sharing more. There’s room for all of us to create real community, freedom, and choice.
