Stable Systems of Access
Access ecosystems where a disabled person can reliably anticipate available resources, plan long-term, and accumulate stability over time. In a stable system, stakeholders are predictable, resources are consistently available, and the person can make informed decisions about trade-offs. Financial stability, reliable healthcare providers, and consistent assistive technology access all contribute to stable systems. Stability enables long-term decision-making and allows a person to leverage resources for additional support, such as hiring a personal assistant or investing in assistive technology.
