To presume competence means believing that people with intellectual disabilities are capable, curious, and full of potential, whether or not they communicate or learn in expected ways. It’s about seeing ability before limitation and offering opportunity instead of protection. When we presume competence, we create space for people to grow, make choices, and be heard. It’s an act of respect that says: you belong, you can, and your voice matters. | Open Future Learning

People talk about “flexible supports” like it’s a new idea, but really, it’s just about being human. Life changes, people change, and support has to move with that. Flexibility isn’t chaos; it’s listening. It’s being willing to say, “Okay, let’s figure it out,” instead of “That’s not in the plan.” Because real support doesn’t come from rules, it comes from respect. When we stretch to meet people where they are, we give them space to stretch too, toward their own choices, their own lives, their o

End of life care isn’t usually part of a developmental or intellectual disability support worker’s job description, but it’s a huge privilege to provide. This module teaches what to expect when someone is dying, your role in supporting their wishes, recognizing physical changes, communicating sensitively, and understanding cultural, religious, and grieving aspects of care. | Open Future Learning

Intellectual and developmental disability services, the very ones who are paid to support freedom, inclusion, and the basics of human dignity, were surveyed by the Stay Up Late campaign and gave this gem of a reason for why people with intellectual disabilities can’t stay up late: “It’s too dark.” Pause. Let that sink in. Now, I’ve heard some sad, small, and lazy excuses for controlling the lives of people with disabilities over the years, but this one? This one deserves an award for sheer imagi

It’s surprisingly easy for support to drift into assumption. Interpreting someone’s choices, reading meaning into everyday actions, or deciding what people “really” want. But respectful support means stepping back, listening, and letting people speak for themselves, in whatever way they communicate. A request for space, a preference, a moment of independence. These aren’t challenges, they’re expressions of personhood. Boundaries aren’t obstacles to great support; they’re the foundation of it. |
