Podcasts about disability support services

There's risk the needs of disabled people won't be met as their ministry is carved up. Support services are moving to the Ministry of Social Development, after a review found a lack of control over funding and services at Whaikaha. Disability Support Network CEO Peter Reynolds says the sector has been struggling for over a decade - and doesn't have faith in MSD. "As recently as June 30, three contracts expired across a couple of hundred providers. No replacement contracts were issued for two months - that's two months that those providers didn't receive any funding." LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Jeremy is joined by Megan Jasruda, Director of Disability Support Services & Counseling at Clark College. Megan brings awareness to a group of people who often go unnoticed in society and are the largest marginalized group in America. Most people don't realize that individuals within the disability community are deeply fluid because any person can become a member at any point in their lifetime. Megan and Jeremy discuss the history of the 1990 ADA Act, how organizations can engage with this law and population, and the future of organizational disability support. ------------------------- Consider giving a little Aloha and become a contributing member to the work we do.

The closure of the Laura Fergusson Trust's Auckland rehabilitation and respite facility came as a shock - what does it tell us about the state of disability support services?

Research tells us that up to 20% of students in higher education report having a disability. At Ivy Tech, while only about 3% of our students report a disability to the office of Disability Support Services, our recent climate survey revealed that more than 30% of students report having a disability. Ivy Tech has a dedicated office and staff to ensure that these students receive the resources and assistance they need to help them be successful in their educational journey. The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 ensure equal access for students with disabilities in our educational setting. Today we will be talking beyond basic compliance, and focusing on how we can all better support students with disabilities at the College. Thanks to this week's guests: Dr. Carey Treager, Assistant Vice President for Student Advocacy Jaime Frey, Director of Disability Support Services, Terre Haute Sandra Senatore-Roberts, Director of Disability Support Services, South Bend Sarah Martin, Student Resources Coordinator, Columbus What can you do after listening to this week's episode? Identify a way or ways in your classroom or office that you can create a more inclusive and supportive environment for students with disabilities.

Earlier this year, a collaborative research by A Better Start & CCS Disability Action looked at the ethnic inequality in access to disability support. It looked at how Maori & pacific islanders are represented compared to non-Maori & pasefika around areas such as disability support services (DSS) [Ministry of Health’s] and ongoing resource services (ORS) [Ministry of Education]. Included in the scope of the research was the payment rates of the Disability Allowance and ethnicity.  The results? Strong evidence that Pacific peoples were underrepresented amongst children and young people accessing the Ministry of Health’s Disability Support Services. Between the March 2010 quarter and the March 2020 quarter, for people of working age, New Zealand Europeans received a median payment rate from the Disability Allowance that was between 1.4 and 1.6 higher than for Māori and between 2.1 and 2.4 higher than for Pacific peoples.
