"24 states have been deemed to have a critical emergency when it comes to the availability and the care provided by caregivers across the board.

By their own assessment, these states have reached a dire moment where they are relying on existing nursing homes, long-term care facilities, and people caring for their loved ones at home, and the infrastructure is buckling under the increased demand."

Remote Supports by Night Owl Support Systems for people with disabilities is a solution to the ongoing caregiver shortage.

There are an estimated 63 million caregivers in the U.S., paid or unpaid, who provide care for people who rely on them for basic needs. While that might seem a mighty number, this invisible workforce is under increasing strain.

"It is so important for young autistic people to see authentic, joyful representations of themselves, and that’s exactly what this doll is," Colin Killick, executive director of The Autistic Self Advocacy Network.

"Partnering with Barbie allowed us to share insights and guidance throughout the design process to ensure the doll fully represents and celebrates the autistic community, including the tools that help us be independent."

Barbie's first autistic doll has been developed with sensory-sensitive features in mind. See how.

Well this is exciting news!

"The Move to Include podcast puts the voices of people with disabilities at the center of the conversation about inclusion, and how they became Self Advocates in the pursuit of autonomy, equality, and independence.

The podcast dives into the real experiences of people with disabilities navigating systems that weren’t designed with them in mind, like the workforce, healthcare access, even relationships."

"One of the world’s fastest-growing economic forces is still flying under most companies’ radar: the disability economy.

The misconception that disabled consumers interact only with medical services or lack economic influence is outdated and costly."

Disability Inclusion is the Untapped Market Hiding in Plain Sight
