10.50 is what the direct care staff make. Sometimes some of them tell me so and so of the residents they support aren't living up to their potential. I wonder?
Just this week a staff is stealing gas money from clients, a client had his annual IHP meeting habilitation meeting because we have to improve people. Originally the model for developmental disabilities was based on the idea that people were sick which they aren't necessarily they're just different. We the majority have decided that they are different rather than like us. More different than the eccentric Uncle. So different we have to segregate them from the rest of society. So at this meeting the job coach who hasn't been coaching this person decides she going to show up and criticize him for not working up to his potential. It takes a real brave person to pick on somebody with an IQ of 50. Worse the case manager who hates this resident went along and piled on. Nice. I wasn't there but either the people who were there were either stunned or more likely just afraid to rock the boat. This is a case where I want revenge. I won't get it.
