The “Foghorn” experience |

I find these two pieces of equipment quite useful But, oh no, “Foghorn” knew best because she has “gone on a course” which gave her a grandiose title and a lot of perceived authority. Apparently she had a right to throw these things out. My caregivers have been wonderful over the years who have worked WITH me to help me reach my independence. Individualised Funding has arrived on the scene and is becoming increasingly popular. This funding option lets disabled people directly manage the resources they are allocated for disability supports, following an assessment, by a NASC organisation. Innovations like Individualised Funding are the way to go where caregivers and clients work together in an equal partnership. Surely this is a better option than trying to create another kind of “expert” who proceeds to bulldoze their way in to people’s homes and immediately reduces all residents to obedient children. For more information about Individualised Funding contact your local NASC office or contact Karen Smith, MOH Development Manager DDI: 09 580 9056 Mobile: 021 2446218 Email: karen_smith@moh.govt.nz Ross Flood rflood@cpsociety.org.nz
