Stefan Pelc har varit egen arbetsgivare för sina assistenter sedan 1992, alltså redan innan LSS. Han har haft sin assistans med förhöjt belopp, vilket gör att han redan har erfarenhet av en högre grad av redovisningsskyldighet än de som fått ersättning med schablonbelopp.

The Legislative Basis is the Law LASS (Lagen om Assistansersättning) of 1994

The purpose is to enable persons with extensive disabilities to have a "good quality of life", that is, to become more independent from their families, move out of institutions and become productive citizens. The law was inspired by the Swedish Independent Living Movement.

Professionalism och independent living
När människor med funktionshinder och experter träffas, är det inte så mycket för att uppnå ett gemensamt mål utan det är en förhandling, en dragkamp. När jag behöver t ex en ny rullstol, så är det arbetsterapeuten på sjukhusets hjälpmedelcentral som avgör vad jag behöver. Framför sig har hon sina kataloger, bakom sig ett lager med rullstolar och över sig har hon de ekonomiska ramarna. Den typ av rullstol som jag vill ha, finns inte i lagret. Hon vill att jag ska ha en rullstol som finns i lager. Det blir billigare för landstinget så, fast hon säger det inte rakt ut.

Excerpt From: M. Miles (2000) Disability on a Different Model:
Glimpses of an Asian Heritage. Disability & Society 15: 603-618.

 

Models and stories embodying them arise in social situations, and any different conceptualisations in Asia cannot be understood without dipping into social history. Accounts of earlier social responses to blind people particularly in Japan, and to some extent in China, indicate a measure of both group and individual autonomy within reserved and valued occupations, ostensibly reflecting a status model more 'normal' than blind people enjoyed in much of European history.
