Due to budget cuts, individuals with disabilities who rely on support workers are now required to meet in large groups rather than receiving personalized assistance. Once again, it feels like those with disabilities are being overlooked. This is not an area where we should compromise on support and care. Additionally, gathering in groups raises concerns about COVID-19 safety.

You make a really important point. It’s disheartening to see budget cuts impacting individuals with disabilities, especially when personalized support is essential for their well-being and independence. Group settings can create a range of challenges, from reduced personal attention to potential health risks, particularly in the context of COVID-19. Everyone deserves tailored support that meets their unique needs, not a one-size-fits-all approach. It’s crucial that we advocate for better funding and resources to ensure that individuals with disabilities receive the quality care and assistance they truly need. Thank you for bringing this issue to light!
