Description
Why we do it
Many critics of modern society's treatment of people with disabilities fault the institutional culture that surrounds them with paid staff whose work fails to empower and creates passivity.
DSA with its paid staff and professional service is an institution, but we are actively engaged in efforts to avoid traditional problems of institutions. We want to encourage contributions, skill development and relationships, not suppress them.
The fact that we have a need of a highly skilled sailing staff to maintain safety in a potentially dangerous environment challenges us to create boundaries between our institutional staff needs and an empowering environment for personal responsibility.
