Autism War - The Inclusion Invasion Begins

Post Reply New Topic

I am not speaking of a particular person but a psychosocial program in public relations that acknowledges businesses that sponsor transitional skills development with a door / window sticker and mentions in the media, radio and otherwise in coordination with quasi-government agencies. A campaign of this nature should not least at this time use any kind fo acknowledgement to benefit businesses that include otherwise disabled individuals with an ASD or DD of any kind whom are otherwise transitionally skilled and already included. This would create a psychosocial dependency on acknowledgements and they may include less simply because an acknowledgement structure is not existing. This would effect the human rights of individuals that are not part of any agency receiving funding for them.

It is forethought of a civil rights-like inclusion campaign for developmental disability opportunity creation. Give me a few hours and I will reply with an interpersonal perspective of the issue.

You use alot of big words to explain difficult concepts, ci! You are explaining marketing, advertising, and activism. Heavy subjects if one is unfamiliar with the basics of them.

I think this is a very important topic and a great program. I'm going to try to break it down to see if I can help more people understand it because I think as many people as possible need to hear this. Please correct me if I'm wrong in anything.

The sticker and inclusion in the program is essentially a PR boon to the companies that participate. They will receive recognition since there is a broadcasting element to the awareness campaign. There will also be media coverage. Participating companies can claim their membership with press releases and in whatever creative ways they invent. The 'altruistic' interests of business are largely centered around what kind of publicity they can get from it even if the individual people in that company feel a personal connection to the cause or program.

The benefit to the program is that people that need these real life work opportunities get them. The program gets ASD individuals out of ineffective government run work programs that are not interested or incapable of teaching real work skills in a real work environment. The program is essentially taking that government middle man out of the process and placing individuals into real work situations with volunteer businesses that have agreed to help meet the needs, and make the necessary adaptations to facilitate the work experience. There will still be coaches on site as needed to help facilitate that learning process.

Is it safe to assume that you have a complete PR package for companies that participate? I'm also curious about the process of bringing these volunteer businesses on board - is there training, a packet of information, a video?

No volunteers unless allowed by government contract. Programs must be insured, have workman's comp for support staff and disabled individuals and pay support staff which is required most of the time. The PR component assists in creating awareness of inclusion to increase inclusive behavior by the business community. It is contracting the labor of individuals with developmental disabilities by technicality to perform tasks at business locations. Typically under the inclusive premise this is transitional skills development which is funded by the government. However the trick is getting people when they desire to be employed directly by businesses but still yet inclusion is inclusion contracted or directly hired.

This is the social services system I exist in. It is quite very much my life. So I really got to figure out what is different in your life and how to explain it.

Give me a few hours here and I will find a simple approach to explaining it and the ethical delima.

Basic Overview

Government day programs exist to integrate individuals into the community. Over the past few years the government has mandated more of these programs focus on employment instead of just simply community inclusion. Many programs of the past even when focusing on employment integrations have really failed to create a community awareness for this “hope”. Even more bothersome is the reality that many of them focus simply on a model that keep qualifying participants restricted to programs themselves instead of independence which does enhance consumer retention thus profitability of the owners and directors.

I began Humboldt Includes to streamline public relations awareness and to entice the furthered probability of successful independence from programs. When independence apart from social service day programs is not chosen by participants then the focus still is on enhancing job opportunities by creating more of them and truelly providing a diverse choice. Hence removing the obstacles of a lack of motivation, innovation and at times inspiration from program administrators. This streamlined methodology will place a tool in the hands of tax payer funded programs to get participants in the door of chosen opportunities so that they may experience and live a more free life.

Existing now is an absents of diverse choice and absents of strategic progressions though is better then nothing. Formulated groups employment activities such as lawn care, house cleaning and repetitive activities like paper shredding and packing jobs. Albiet some enjoy the repetition and the opportunities provided mainstream direct employment is of yet unreachable to individuals when they lack the transitional skills necessary and the inclusion campaign qualifies businesses to be awarded recognition for being open minded and supportive to the developmental disability minority group.

Conclusion

Tax payer money and the compassion of Americans while generous must be utilized in a way to the greatest benefit. The system must be constructed in a way that decreases when possible the dependency of individuals whilst realistically enticing gainful independence. Left in the hands of special interest alone the leadership and methodology lack. Push them with intelligent autism self-advocacy based leadership and more results occur and more awareness made..

The simple point is having someone shred paper and alike opportunities as satisfactory is wrong headed. Transitional skills development with the support of awareness and sponsorships enhances choice more equal to the mainstream population, improves chances of self-sufficiency and quality of life.

If your statements were brought forth to professionals here they wouldn't bother with them.
