This Indigenous Peoples Day, we celebrate the strength and resilience of Native American communities, honor their rich cultures and traditions, while also recognizing the challenges some of their children with disabilities face. With less access to healthcare, education, and transportation, Native American children and families do not always get the support they need to thrive. In celebrating the diversity of Indigenous Peoples, we are also raising awareness about the disparities and the need for more inclusive support systems. Let's look forward to a future where every child, regardless of their background, receives the care and support they deserve. By working together, we can build a world that celebrates the abilities, dreams, and potential of all children. #IndigenousPeoplesDay #InclusiveFuture #DisabilityInclusion #StrengthInDiversity

🎓 Executive Director of Legal & Public Affairs at Inclusion Canada | J.D. & LL.M. | Advocate for Disability Rights & Inclusion | ⚖️ Steering Policy & Law Reform
Breaking Free: The Right Way to Close Institutions 🔓🏘️ Institutions are more than just walls. They're a mindset that segregates and limits people with disabilities. We've seen promises of change, but often new forms of institutions crop up in disguise - tiny homes, congregate housing, segregated communities. 🏚️ These are not real solutions. They perpetuate the cycle of isolation and marginalization. 🚫 True inclusion means supporting people to live in diverse communities, with autonomy, dignity and access to individualized supports. It's a fundamental human right. 🌈🗳️ Deinstitutionalization must be done the right way: 🔹 Led by people with disabilities, especially institution survivors 🔹 Guided by the UN CRPD and human rights principles 🔹 Focused on creating real homes and inclusive communities, not just closing buildings 🔹 Carefully planned for each individual's needs and choices The path forward is challenging but filled with hope and possibility. Every step towards inclusive communities brings us closer to a society that equally values all its members. 🌍🤝 It's time to break free of the institution mindset for good. - - - #BreakingBarriers #CommunitiesForAll #Deinstitutionalization
