renegotiating reciprocity - supporting people with disabilities in contribution by empowering staff...
DESCRIPTION
We all want to contribute, and we are all necessary to co-create an effective and whole community. I often think of the Australian Aboriginal elders who, when people with disabilities were returned, their names and totems and tribes forgotten, said "We knew something was missing from the Whānau [the whole extended family]." Much of my work lately has been about remembering that we all belong, that we already know each other, and that we each have a mission of contribution to share, which often incorporates rebellion and innovation which, perhaps, can be negotiated within our larger social systems if we can be clear and certain.TRANSCRIPT

Our Question Together
Why does it matter whether we can support people with disabilities to have relationships and
be part of their communities?

What sorts of people should be included… and how? Introducing the BMX model of inclusion
Erica S. McFadden and Judith A. Snow
Participation and presence. O’Brien (1987) describes community presence as “the sharing of the ordinary places that define community life” (p.179), but this simple definition is deceptive. There is a continuum of three notions of presence for an individual that determines the level of inclusion: “being physically present” in a community or at an event; “having presence;” or “actively participating” (Smull & Sanderson, 2001, p. 139). These last two notions of community presence introduce quality of relationships and inter-connectedness (Cummins & Lau, 2003). Being physically present suggests that individuals can often be visitors, and not really part of, community life or have meaningful social contact with others (Ager et al., 2001; Britten, 2001; Smull & Sanderson; Verdonschot, deWitte, Reichrath, Buntix, Curfs, 2009).

“We are not welcome there”• “This might work for your people
but our people are harder”• “Our community is less welcoming”• “Our agency doesn’t want to do
this”• “We are not allowed to take risks”• “We go to the Friendship Centre
every Weds for soup and bannock. No one talks to us. We have to go because the Social Worker says we have to access culturally appropriate activities. When we get there, they start putting all the chairs up on the tables and sweeping up.”
• Blind, non-verbal, noisy, drooling, in wheelchairs.
• They arrive at 2:45.• Hours: 11:30 – 3.• A table of regulars and the workers

AlbertFacilitating belonging
• “I’m not sure why they brought you in, this is hopeless. No one will ever want anything to do with him.”
• “I’ll just spend some time with him and we’ll find out what he likes.”
• “He doesn’t like anything.”• “Watch out for…” • Non-verbal, wheelchair,
problematic behaviors, funny loud noises.

him• Got closer, found reasons to
engage• Started inventing reasons why
she had to leave • Reasons to need them…

Facilitating belonging• “Albert is wondering can you pass
the sugar?”• “Oh, I was going to get a bun and
I forgot – is it okay if Albert joins you for a moment? I’ll be right back?” (Chats with staff)
• “Darn – Albert and I were looking forward to chatting but I have to take this – would it be an imposition…? I’ll be right back.”
• “Oh I’m not sure if you noticed but Albert just nodded at you three times in a row and that means he’s happy to see you!”
• “Hey guys, do you mind if we join you?”
• “I have this challenge – I wonder if I can run it by you and maybe you have some ideas about what I could do next because I need help.”
• “So my job is to help Albert make connections and be included – and I’ve spent a year with him and we have a great time but my boss says he needs to be involved in something… do you have any ideas?”

Back to:“We are not welcome there.”
• We go to the Friendship Centre every Weds for soup and bannock. No one talks to us. We have to go because the Social Worker says we have to access culturally appropriate activities. When we get there, they start putting all the chairs up on the tables and sweeping up.
• Blind, non-verbal, noisy, drooling, in wheelchairs.
• They arrive at 2:45.• Hours: 11:30 – 3.• A table of regulars and the workers
at front; they sit in the back.• Staff wearing uniforms. • HUGE bibs, towels.• Didn’t talk to anyone. • Didn’t need anyone. • Had been going for three years. • Manager had never gone with

imposed on them
• “We know the name of the dog next door…”

• Research on support networks for people with disabilities changed significantly in the 80s…
• Why do you think?
• Paid folks are often at the edge of the circle – economic reciprocity…
• Christmas story… • Socialised to
denigration.

“Through the blur, I wondered if I was alone or if other parents felt the same way I did - that
everything involving our children was painful in some way. The emotions, whether they were joy, sorrow, love or pride, were so deep and
sharp that in the end they left you raw, exposed and yes, in pain. The human heart was not
designed to beat outside the human body and yet, each child represented just that - a parent's heart bared, beating forever outside its chest.”
Debra Ginsberg

“Asset-Based Thinkers learn how to reactivate the special instinctive positive filters that we are all born with. Over the course of our lives, the positive filters have been overshadowed and shut down by deficit-based thinking. Asset-based Thinkers approach everyone they encounter with the spirit of acknowledgement and praise for what they have to offer. They see each individual as an asset and recognize that they are a work in progress, just like themselves. “Asset-Based Thinkers are relatively unaffected by the negative traits of others. They've learned to deflect the negativity, suspend judgment, and go beneath the surface to make contact with the positive motives that are fueling the negativity.”
Change the Way You See Everything, Kathryn Cramer and Hank Wasiak

Instructional StrategiesThe dictionary defines instruction as a “precept” (the teaching of something known about our culture), as “direction calling for compliance,” as “an outline or manual of technical procedure,” and “the action, practice, or profession of teaching.” Often parents, community support workers, coaches, peers, managers and others find themselves with instructional responsibilities – to teach someone to cook independently, or cross the street, or engage in a social conversation, yet don’t have the information they need about how to think through goals and outcomes and break things down into teachable bits in ways that work for the particular individual. The next step in community based instruction is teaching for independence, so that we can prompt less and people can acquire mastery and self-esteem. We can gather many concrete examples as well as walking through logical progressions of how someone learns a skillset and how the instructor removes herself from the interaction.

Winterbourne. June 2011“We suggest a redefinition of the role of the service and support organizations. Rather than solely providing services and support, organizations serve as bridges between people and community supports. For this reason, the concepts and research findings associated with social capital contribute to a reformulation of organizational role.”
