I live with an ongoing sense that in the current economic climate, budgetary
restrictions on disability services creates an outrageous need to protect
the economic viability of the “service provider”. Within the disability
sector this has created the enforcement of abstract efficiencies.

used to very conveniently lump together hugely varying human disadvantages
usually of physiological-bodily character.
In my recent blog post, I discuss the failures of the current disability
system, with regards to standard practices. Read it here:
