As Day 1 comes to a close we welcome this #DisabilityRC public hearing as an opportunity to talk how we can make education inclusive for everyone, and not set young people on a lifelong pathway to segregation. 🧵 #IncludeUsFromTheStart (1/5)
Many students with an intellectual disability don’t go to a mainstream school. Instead, they are told they have to go to a segregated school. When students with an intellectual disability go to a segregated school, they rarely go back to a regular school. #DisabilityRC (2/5)
This means people don’t mix with or get the same education as students without disability. As a result, they are more likely to end up living in a group home and going to day services, or working in a sheltered workshop for pay rates below the minimum wage. (3/5)
Sat, winter, rain, lockdown, ex auditor, accountant, plenty of coffee and youngest watching @STVYouTube on repeat. Oldest in his @Minecraft bunker. Partner sorting washing. You have my undivided attention @NDIS @EveryAustralian #ndis #auspol #HandsOffOurNDIS
1/ context key as report doesn’t address cohort of people with disability not on the scheme and does not speak to success of any such scheme also contingent on policy and outcomes in other parts of life of a person with disability eg education, housing, employment #WholePerson
2/ this report also doesn’t address any gaps in support or spending that impacts or undermines scheme spend eg poor educational experience isn’t compensated by NDIS paid therapy. Inaccessible public housing stock not fixed by house mods paid by NDIS. #IncludeUsFromTheStart
