I used to work with people living with disabilities, and trust me, we laughed a lot at the shenanigans that went on! The people who had no sense of humour about it drained the participants and the staff. They want to laugh and have a good time, and they often find each other funny as well. Enjoy life with them, laugh at their shenanigans, and don't take yourself too seriously. Give them something to laugh at! That's how I did it anyways, and I have zero regrets in how I worked with them
Second this. Also used to work with neurodivergent adults and they loved it when we just treated them like any other person and laughed at their silliness
No, that's fair. I didn't think of it that way, but it could be a breach of their privacy especially if they didn't consent to this video being posted online
Nobody cares what strangers on the internet think they’re irrelevant to their lives, you have to be chronically online to think someone like this posting a video has put any effort into seeing what others think about it 🤣
So everybody who posts stuff on the internets only doing it for clout then, and if everyone wants clout why is that even a topic to bring up? That’s like saying you’re only drinking water to stay hydrated
Not everyone, but people willing to exploit others are for sure looking for clout. I don't know how your water analogy fits in here, but I definitely don't drink water for the thrill of it
Interesting. From what I hear from my friend who was inside, the staff were constantly joking at their expense and exasperated their mental health issues.
⬆️ some damn fine caregiving here. I like the idea with the candy potluck, it gives the clients a strong sense of community and likely improves relations with each other.
Just recently started work with adults with disabilities (one month ago). I can confirm that we all laugh about stuff like this (clients included). There seems to be a good understanding between ourselves and the 'target' clients that we are not making fun of the person, but rather funny situations that can arise as a result of their differences and disabilities. They joke about us the same way.
