“You are the river of the assistance – and are failing the children”
“Debater: LSS-investigation is a major blow for young people with disabilities”
“This is an opinion piece. It is the writer who stands for the views that are put forward in the text, not Against.”
“the DEBATE. Now fall the most over the children. When we thought it couldn’t get worse. When we thought we reached the bottom and that children with disabilities and their families could not suffer more of the substantial savings in LSS personal assistance and, then comes the next sudden blow: the LSS inquiry.”
“years and Years of dismantling within the LSS, the act concerning support and service for certain disabled people, has strained hard on the already suffering families. To be the parent of a child with significant disabilities means not only to manage life with a child who has high needs and also trying to be enough for the siblings and gainful employment. “
“It also means a constant struggle for the child to have their rights respected. In recent years it has become increasingly difficult to get personal assistance granted and you are a child, it is basically impossible.”
“And then, in this disastrous condition, then will the LSS inquiry, whose proposal involves that personal assistance was largely erased as reform. For children it is extra serious. “
“the commission of Inquiry proposes that the right to assistance be abolished completely for children under 16 years of age. Instead, the children be able to get one-off interventions in the home, for example, in connection with tube-feeding. But what happens the rest of the time?”
“Which parents can work or take care of siblings if the only relief you get is just the feed? And what happens to a child who may not need the assistance with tube feeding, absent all support then?”
“Why should children not be worth to bet on, simply because they have a disability?”
“the Point of the personal assistance is that it goes on all the time. For if you have omfattandenfunktionsnedsättningar and needs help with virtually everything, then efforts not to schedule. You can’t say that at a do I need to scratch my nose or go to the toilet. For it, you don’t know in advance.”
“How has the investigation thought when you have come to the conclusion that children under the age of 16 is a good group to choke off aid? Why should children not be worth to bet on, simply because they have a disability?”
the “50’s values suddenly feels uncomfortable at present.”
“Already now increases the pressure out in the municipalities to build new barnboenden. More and more parents are considering leaving their child with disabilities, not because they want it, or that it is the best for the child, but because they simply can’t take it anymore when assistance was not granted. “
“With the commission’s proposals, we will see an explosion in the number of barnboenden. Is that what we want? It is so welfare-Sweden to work for a vulnerable group? 50’s values suddenly feels uncomfortable at the moment, then had a child with disabilities usually did not grow up in their families, but in large institutions.when the place we’re going back?”
“LSS-the investigation is so compromised that it must be considered that became obsolete even before it is presented. The parliament must now assume its responsibility and ensure that the control of the development. “
“We who live with assistance, either by themselves or in the family, and we applied for assistance but been turned down, we’ve had enough now!”
