I work with disabled people of all kinds in the community and I’m hoping to expand my knowledge of different resources/services for clients. Ones that are maybe a little less heard of, that you’d like to share that don’t get as much recognition! Preferably ones that help community members directly and efficiently.
Oftentimes I find myself having to do an insane amount of digging to find help on behalf of clients, and it would be great to come up with a master list that can be shared around to IRIS/direct care workers, too.
I know that KAC outsources their transportation now, which is a huge bummer. Southport transportation seemingly hires anyone (I’ve seen many of their drivers do unsafe/illegal things on the road) so it would be nice to know about trusted, safe transportation options.
Anyhow, thanks in advance!
Editing to add: if anyone has any suggestions for local businesses that are disability friendly and treat their employees well, that would be excellent information also! (not festival foods, they’re exploitative and predatory)
