Did you know that LGBTQIA+ older adults often care for each other in isolation? About half of all caregivers don't have any additional help, and many chosen family caregivers, most of whom are LGBTQIA+, provide sole care (43%) or are the primary caregiver (25%). It's crucial we recognize and support these unsung heroes. Let's work together to ensure our LGBTQIA+ elders have the support they need. #InclusiveCaregiving #LGBTQSupport #PrideMonth

This image hits close to home for many of us in the caregiver community, especially parents. It captures a moment we know all too well – the feeling of being left out of critical conversations that directly affect our lives and our children's futures. We advocate tirelessly, knocking on doors, trying to get a seat at the table where decisions are made. As caregiver parents, it often feels like our input is the last to be invited or considered, despite being on the frontlines every day. For families navigating disabilities, inclusion isn’t just about physical spaces; it’s about being recognized as key stakeholders. After all, our voices are essential in shaping the services, policies, and support systems our kids rely on. This image resonates because it's a reminder that we won’t stop knocking. Everyone deserves to be part of the discussion – and only when we are all present can we truly talk about disability. Here’s to breaking barriers, making real change, creating more inclusive spaces and learning every step of the way for a world where everyone can thrive—a world that’s better, brighter, equitable, inclusive, accessible, and fairer for all! 🙌🏼🧬♿️🌻 #TheCaregiverLawyer #CaregiverSupport #DisabilityInclusion #DiversityMatters #EquityMatters #AccessibilityMatters #AccommodationMatters #BeAnAlly #InclusionMatters #LessonsLearnt

Let's uplift parents of kids with disabilities! But how do we show genuine support? Many parents feel isolated and overwhelmed without proper support. Instead of assuming what they need, do this: 1. Offer practical help with daily tasks. 2. Listen empathetically without judgment. 3. Celebrate every milestone, big or small. 4. Educate yourself about their child's disability. 5. Ensure inclusivity in social activities. In a nutshell, just start by being present, understanding, and inclusive to truly make a difference. #disabilityinclusion #disabilityawareness

🧠It’s challenging to acknowledge every disability during Disability Pride Month while maintaining respect for all. At Sensory Style Co., we believe that labels belong on jars, not people. We’re here to help clients break free from the constraints that labels can impose. Every disability brings its own set of challenges, and self-regulation or supporting a friend can be tough. This month, let’s explore different sensory regulation tips together. 🏳️🌈 #DisabilityPrideMonth #SensoryRegulation #InclusionMatters #BreakTheLabels #DisabilityAwareness #Empowerment #SensorySupport #InclusiveCommunity #SelfRegulation #SupportAndAwareness
