Are you interested in the possible implications for ethics, policy & practice of recognising #dementia as a disability?

Warmly recommend this book about lives of persons with profound intellectual disabilities. Lots to think about, lots to improve for the Finnish disability service system. Well done, @SimoVehmas and Reetta Mietola!

Kansallisooppera aikoo rikkoa toiminnassaan E-S @AVItwiittaa rajoituspäätöstä: hbl.fi/artikel/operan-trotsa…. Se noudattaa eduskunnan säätämää lakia (TTL 58d§), mutta ei noudata lainvastaista (eli lain sijaan @valtioneuvosto hybridistrategiaohjaus + TTL 58 § pohjaavaa osaa) päätöstä.👇

New paper with @caitlingormley exploring the experiences of justice-involved people with learning disabilities, autism, and mental health conditions. They are excluded from, and intimidated by, a system that denies them access to justice and fairness.

Why have fewer people with severe and profound learning disabilities had an annual health check in 2021? 69% of people with learning disabilities who self-reported had had a health check but informants reported that only 21% of those with severe/profound disabilities had had one.
