【心情記事】18 歲之後，除了「待在家」，我們還能給孩子什麼樣的未來？
有感於4/19的交流會：
「有很多人可能和我有一樣的經驗，因為不夠###，所以我的孩子在體制內永遠排不到位置。」
在台灣，有100 萬名身心障礙者被隱形在家庭的照顧壓力中，第一類的人數也有30多萬人，我們能看見當孩子從學校畢業的那一天，原本以為的起點，卻成了家長最迷惘的終點 。
--我們都一樣，不求孩子大富大貴，只希望當我們老去時，孩子能有一個「有尊嚴地勞動、有溫度地社交」的地方 。 --
🕊️ 這裡不只是農場，是一處與孩子共好的「溫柔實驗室」
我們明白，現行的社福體制有其極限，因此思凡選擇走一條更難、但也更具韌性的「社會企業」之路 。我們用「社工」的專業，把生硬的農業產線，重新設計成孩子能勝任的職能階梯 ：
• 專業團隊的支持：除了本身的社工專業外，我們也正在與其他專業如心理諮商師、職能治療師、護理師、教保員…等，組建團隊，試著讓家長們找到一條可以長期被支持的方式；社福的資源通常是橫斷面的，當脫離一定的範疇(例如年齡、狀態)，就無法再使用該資源，但這也是家庭遇到的困境。
• 重拾「被需要」的快樂：在農場中可以先從練習撿雞蛋、育苗開始，讓孩子發現自己不是「被照顧者」，而是能創造產值的「生產者」 。
• 專業的職能再設計：我們將複雜的工作拆解成視覺化，讓自閉症、ADHD 等不同特質的青年，都能在泥土中找到適合的位置 。
📊 經過第一次交流會後，思凡想與家長一起實現的願景：
✅ 打破補助依賴：串連在地農場與企業 ESG，為孩子創造真實、穩定的工作機會 。
✅ 階梯式適應訓練：從半日體驗到長期職前培訓，給孩子足夠的時間去減敏與適應熟悉環境 。
✅ 雙老家庭的出口：建立一個可複製的系統，讓家長的愛與專業，能在這片土地上永續傳承 。
"So many of you might share my experience: because we don't meet specific 'criteria,' our children are stuck on endless waiting lists within the system ."
In Taiwan, nearly a million people with disabilities—and over 300,000 within the first category alone—remain 'invisible' under the immense weight of family care . We see it all the time: the day a child graduates from school, what should be a new beginning, instead becomes a dead end where parents feel completely lost.
We all want the same thing. We don’t ask for our children to be wealthy or powerful; we simply hope that as we grow old, they have a place to find 'dignity in their work and warmth in their community.'
🕊️ This isn't just a farm; it’s a 'Gentle Lab' where our children can thrive alongside us.We know the current social welfare system has its limits, which is why Selvans chose the challenging but resilient path of a 'social enterprise'.
Leveraging our expertise in social work, we have taken rigid agricultural processes and redesigned them into 'career ladders' that our children can actually master :
Support from a Professional Team: Beyond our social work background, we are building a multidisciplinary team including counselors, occupational therapists, nurses, and special educators .
We are striving to create a long-term support system for parents. Traditional social welfare resources are often 'fragmented'—once you fall outside a specific category (like age or status), you lose access.
This is the exact dilemma families face . Rediscovering the Joy of 'Being Needed': On the farm, we start with simple tasks like gathering eggs or raising seedlings .
It allows our children to realize they aren’t just 'care recipients'—they are producers capable of creating real value.
Professional Job Redesign: We break down complex tasks into visual guides, ensuring that youth with different traits—whether it’s Autism, ADHD, or others—can find their rightful place in the soil .
📊 Following our first exchange meeting, here is the vision Selvans aims to achieve together with parents:
✅ Breaking Dependence on Subsidies: By connecting local farms with corporate ESG initiatives, we are creating real, stable job opportunities for our children.
✅ Step-by-Step Adaptation: From half-day experiences to long-term vocational training, we give children the time they need to 'acclimatize' and feel comfortable in their environment .
✅ A Way Forward for Aging Families: We are building a replicable system so that a parent’s love and expertise can be passed down sustainably through this land.
