How do you feel about the current support for children with disabilities in BC?
I know this is a massive question... BUT I want to start wide and see what the responses are. I have an idea of what I think this project is about but I want it to be from the voices of people with lived experience rather than from how I have perceived the current situation. From there we can start to dive into the reoccurring subjects within peoples responses. Feel free to write in bullet points or paragraphs, WHATEVER WORKS FOR YOU.
Based on the conversations I have already had, a lot of parents/ care givers suggest that there isn't enough support. If this resonates with you, I'd love to know HOW there isn't enough support. Do you see children with disabilities NOT being supported?
In your opinion, what are the top 3-5 ways you think support could be improved?
If we based this project on trying to show or vizualise what supports you believe children with disabilities need in this province, what might that look like for you/ your child? Or in other words, what would you ask for? Whats is it you "wish" for?
Is there anything you want to add? Any thing I haven't asked that you want to tell me? Anything that you wish people knew?
Anything you'd like to ask me about the project?
Is there anyone you know that you think I should get in touch with? This could be an organisation or a person. Is there a resource - written, visual or otherwise.
My initial thoughts were this project could launch in December 2024 in order to challenge how Christmas can often focus on material things, but in reality, families who have disabled children just want support for their child. How do you feel about this idea - does it land? Is it appropriate?
If we manage to pull off a project like this, what do you think we should do with it so that it makes a difference? Is there somewhere or someone we should be aiming to get it in front of?
Would you be interested to be a part of the photo and video shoot we are planning on this subject in October?

Yes just me (not my child)
Yes me and my child
No
If yes to the above, are there any dates that you definitely CAN'T do? (At this stage we're just playing with timing and dates for this so we can come back to this at a later stage.)
Thank you so much.
Thank you so much for taking the time to answer these questions and share your story. I really hope that I can find a way to pull this project together in a way that ignites a change or increases understanding of what is needed.
